let's drink to my crappy life

First of all, I want to apologize for my blog
consisting of me bitching continuously.
But seriously, I feel like the world is crapping on me.
More about that below...
I'm definitely going to be drinking tonight! Sure, I have only two very important placement tests tomorrow, but I need to drink tonight. I'll do my best to not get wasted, but I won't make any promises.

I've been working very part-time at a nice little salon. When I got my retail job, I kept one day at the salon to give my manager a day off each week. Then when I lost that job, they were kind enough to give me some extra hours that probably should have been covered anyway. Wasn't that nice? Yes it was. Then I got my new job at the boutique and thanks to some miscommunication my hours for the rest of the month were given to someone else. No biggie.

On Sunday I ran into one of the nail technicians/receptionists at the Farmer's Market (which was awesome, by the way. I plan on going next week for some fresh veggies and flowers!). Anyway, we got to talking and after I told her about my more recent job loss, she informed me that her and another receptionist were taking some vacation time in August, and so I might be able to pick up some hours and help out - the manager was going to be working some pretty long shifts to cover everything, it sounded like. So I sent her an email asking if she wanted any help.

Now, imagine my surprise when the reply was less than grateful for my offer. In fact, she went as far as to say that I was disrespecting the salon by keeping inconsistent hours since I first left in winter. Wait a second, when I first left, I kept my one day a week at the salon to give her a day off! And whoa, whoa, whoa... did I just get fired again?!

Honestly, I have no idea. She was very unclear about that, so I guess now I just have to wait and see what she says. Is this really happening?

I won't lie to you; I cried. I am so tired of things going wrong for me. I just got a letter in the mail from the business that I gave the terrible first impression to. Needless to say, I didn't get a call back for another interview, but instead received a letter saying they were "pursuing another candidate." I threw it out without having the heart to tell the Boyfriend about it. I'm so tired of feeling like a worthless failure.

Anyway, here are some other less depressing updates:
1. My mother's birthday is today so the whole family is going out to dinner. Yum!
2. I've been studying really hard the last few days for my math placement test so hopefully I don't bomb it! :)
