Word vomit

So, the interview with the staffing agency went well - I'm "on call" for a possible for-real interview tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then supposedly Wednesday. In the meantime, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing... The real world kinda sucks. Aren't you supposed to just be handed a job? I feel like I'm doing things wrong, or rather that I WOULD do something wrong, if I put myself out there and just walked into an office somewhere and asked for a job. Blergh.

So far life is amazing, though. But it's supposed to rain tomorrow AND Wednesday, so we'll see how much I love New York when it's raining. After my interview today I stopped by St Patrick's Cathedral (only about 10 blocks from where I was interviewing, so I figured I may as well) and happened to get there about an hour before daily Mass, so I wandered around until that started. Lit a candle (St Jude, for my "lost cause" of not totally crashing and burning up here), that sort of thing. I love being able to just DO these things, it's completely amazing. I still feel like I'm on vacation. Part of me hopes that never changes.

And then I got to Skype with three of my best friends back home - we used to watch 24 together every week, and so we watched it together tonight too. Amazing. I really despise Skype and telephone calls and that sort of thing, but sometimes I guess you just have to grin and bear it. Another friend and I fiiiiiiinally were able to stop playing phone tag after about a week, so that was lovely. It's so great to hear from old friends. I don't feel lonely just yet, but I imagine that might kick in soon. Being in a big city is wonderful, but a bit alienating. I know I'm as alone as I choose to be, plus The Best Friend is getting here on Thursday (*FLAIL*), but seeing a familiar face or hearing a familiar voice has become more special and dear to me lately.

If you're reading this blog, it's probably because I know & trust & love you well enough to give you the URL, so you are one of those people aforementioned. Give me a call. Post a comment. I love you and miss you. <3
