“How are the interviews going?” July 31, 2008

“If they’re still going then they’re not going well.”

 

They’re still going.

 

Had the interview for my dream job this evening.

 

Even though I had practised typing really fast while performing Grease is the Word standing on my head all at the same time nerves came and gobbled me up.

 

My hands were shaking, I was choking on my words and talking like Johnny 5 on speed. I’m so pissed off with myself because I should have had this one in the bag. I even had contacts.

 

I wish I knew what came over me. Every other interview

 I’ve been a little nervous but still remained in control of my tongue and limbs. I am my own worst enemy sometimes, and then we all are in our own ways.

 

My way is this: I worry too much, I beat myself to a pulp about things that happen everyone, then I eat, put on weight and beat myself up about that. I have well a truely wedged myself in a rut over the past month or two, harrassing myself for “failing” when I just haven’t nabbed the one post that dozens of other people are also applying for, which essentially means all of us that have been turned down are normal and the people getting the jobs are just freaks really, oddballs if you will.

 

Mr. Sleepy reminded me today that I am in fact still young (the early onset of dementia seemed to have erased this piece of information from my memory). I have plenty of time to work what’s the rush? He says this as a man with a job by the way but then someone has to feed us (mmm…lady of leisure. I think I’d be good at that. That must be what he meant by that ;) ).

 

From here on in I’m going to try my best to lay off the punches and give myself a break. I say this with the greatest of intentions, kind of like “I won’t eat too much this Christmas”. Two days later a search party finds the victim in a food coma on the living room couch covered in a duvet of sweet wrappers.

 

No I don't have money to put in your hat, I'm a lady of leisure....Sweet wrapper?

No I don't have money to put in your hat, I'm a lady of leisure....Sweet wrapper?

 

Could I have chips with that dream please? July 31, 2008

This insomnia lark is beginning to get tedious. I wouldn’t mind if I was normally this way inclined but on a regular day I could sleep through a stampede while lying on a bed of nails. Seriously, my mum used to vacuum my room when I was asleep in bed during the summer holidays as a kid. Whatever is causing this 180 needs to be crushed and fed to the pigs.

 

You may be delighted to hear that Ewan won my hand in his Connect Four battle against Keanu. Fortunately, Keanu has been crying down the phone to me ever since, I’ve started seeing him on the side. Tonight, however, my overactive imagination is leading me in another direction. 

Tonight I become Agent L. Miss. My mission, if I choose to accept it, is to capture Prince Charles and Camilla saving the world from future attacks of the uglies. Once in captivity I would overlook the extensive reconstructive surgery that both targets will undergo in order to give them that “human” look.

 

Being the super woman that I am I accept the mission without hesitation (I do like a challenge) but I make it clear that I may not be successful. Charlie understands.

 

 Here is the appeal to the general public for any information…

Wanted

 Prince Charles and Camilla

They are to be charged on numerous accounts of animal impersonation. Prince Charles is said to have superhuman hind legs and may be spotted in or around areas of shallow water. Camilla likes apples and Silvermints. Approach with caution (and from the left in Camilla’s case).

Result: The mission was not as successful as we hoped but we managed to dress the frog prince in a suit and put a large amount of feathers on Camilla’s head to try draw one’s attention away from the horsiness. Kind of a “shove the dirt under the carpet” job.

 

 OK I’m hungry now…craving chips! Ugh!

Until next time.

UPDATE 2:38am 1/8/08: I can’t believe nobody noticed this (here I was believing some of you are smart. SMRT) I can’t believe I only just noticed this now…it’s genius! The frog in the picture above (artist’s impression) is the picture of the horse sideways….Prince Charles and Camilla are the same person. Didn’t think one could marry one’s self. Royals, strange folk.
