Okay, so if you know me, you know I avoid all things coffee like the plague.
I’ve had a vanilla latte from Starbucks every day for the past 4 days. I’ve also been waking up ungodly early (for me) for no reason.
I’m not quite sure what’s come over me.
Ever since I can remember, even way back to grade school, mornings are just not my thing. No matter now much sleep I get. I just fail miserably at normal brain function before around 11. Also I start to get the “ugh I have to pass out” feeling around 3. Maybe I’m slowly dying, who knows.
Anyway.
I recently got hired at Steve’s Music. I think. I was given the form to put all my bank info on it, the boss told her son to tell me I got the job…so technically that means I’m hired, right? I went in for “training” (cash booth stuff, paging/transferring calls, printing receipts, etc.) and the girl in charge of the booth told me she’d call me tomorrow (today) when the decision was made.
…Huh?
So I’m a bit confused.
Here’s a picture I took of the view from my booth in my caffeine-induced state.
So there’s that.
THEN, I get home and check my email.
I have an interview in two weeks for a paid internship position at Filament Creative, down in Liberty Village.
OMGYAY. Just an interview, but still. omgyay. I’m not getting my hopes up or assuming I’m going to get hired at Filament, because 1) that would be stupid and 2)I’ve had enough agency interviews to know not to assume anything, but if I do get hired, I’m going to take it. The only drawback is it’s at King and Dufferin, which for an agoraphobic is SUPER DO NOT WANT, but whatever. Also the 9am mon-fri thing. But the weird thing about that, is that I can be stupid tired and still kick out sweet things in photoshop if needed. It doesn’t require much brain power from me. Thankfully.
So after 8 months of nothing, I get hired(?) at one job with people I know and a good location (but weird hours and sitting in a tiny booth), and an interview for another job for 9-5 at an amazing studio but in between far away and nowhere. I just find that amusing.
Wish me luck, or something.

Thanks man. I love it super hard.
Hmm, looks like : “Laura is NOT bored” in the future. Good luck. :-)
The mere smell of coffee (and lattes, etc.) make ill. I love tea though. And I drink way too much diet cola.
You always seem to find employers who do weird stuff like this, hire you, then not hire you. I really hope your luck changes.
I am not a morning person. I'm rarely even a noon person.
I really hope you get the paid internship.
Can I ask you a question? You mention you're agoraphobic, and I remember you telling me that at the gala last year, but I've been dying to ask you this. And now that you mention it again, I have to ask. How can you stand being in packed nightclubs? You seem to go out at clubs and concerts fairly often, but I don't understand how you can do it if you're agoraphobic.
Okay, well, I can guess that perhaps alcohol helps, and you wouldn't likely use that to cope with the internship (at least I hope not). Anyways, like I said, I've been dying for an excuse to ask you that. And I am sincere in asking – I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything.
i never go to packed nightclubs. the bovine almost always has enough room for me to be comfortable, and it's very familiar to me so i don't feel anxious. 90% of the shows i go to are at the bovine, too, so it's more convenience and familiarity than anything.
but yes, alcohol does certainly help. ;)
