the doldrums

i hope that the relationships i form in my lifetime never become mundane enough that the most interesting thing i have to talk about is the quality of produce at various supermarkets.

...

i still don't have a summer job. it's not to say that i haven't tried to get one. i have tried. the past two summers i was a hostess and then a waitress at the same chain, greasy american food restaurant in my town, so... i have experience.

haha.

so, having wanted to work on my college campus this summer, after four or five tedious job application, eloquent cover letters on why i so desperately wanted that office job, and subsequent fruitless job interviews, i found myself at home once again this summer. i really did not want to spend my sophomore summer babysitting and waitressing again, but that's all that's looking up right now. i've filled out the applications at many restaurants, but have yet to secure an interview. they're giving me the same lines that i used to give to eager applicants in my restaurant days: "the manager is busy, call back later." or "we're not hiring right now." or "certainly fill out an application! a manager should call you tomorrow."

bull-shit.

it's hopeless.

in other news, spent the day in boston with a few friends yesterday and saw a rather harried looking italian yell at a poor woman, "PUT THE PLUM DOWN. PUT. IT. DOWN." she was merely admiring the 8/$1 plums he had for sale; i really don't think she was about to steal it.

and now i'm back to produce.

jeez louise.
