too skinny jeans and peeing in a cup

Good news!

I finally found myself a job!

I got the job at a local electronics store which just so happens to be right across the parking lot from where the Boyfriend works. It's decent pay and they'll work around my school schedule which is a real blessing, lemme tell ya!

One obvious requirement was to take a drug test... at a hospital thats very, very far away. *Sigh* So I decided just to get it over with since I was out and about anyway. First stop, however, was my favorite store, Forever 21. I had to return a pair of jeans that I bought and didn't fit. I always buy the same size jeans when I go there, so I had purchased this pair without visiting the fitting room. I get home to put them on to go out and, holy shit, I was stuck.

You heard me: stuck. The jeans were so tight around my calf muscles that I thought I'd never get out. Now imagine me squirming on the floor trying to wriggle myself out of these outrageous skinnies. Oh yeah, it came to that. Well, in the process, I ripped the tag off. I go to the store, ready to make the exchange, and the store manager refused to return them. Not even my embarassing story could convince her.

I'm a hot-headed person sometimes. I will admit that. And something about this lady pissed me off. Don't get me wrong: I've worked retail before. I understand the policies and why they exist. But come on... I never wore them! So she gave me the district manager's number and while standing at the counter fuming, I called her until she picked up. She authorized the exchange, no problem. In your face, biatch.

Now off to my second destination. State Fair is currently going on which meant obscene traffic on my way to the drug test. When I got there, I quickly realized the mapquest address was wrong as I found myself at a dentist's office and a plastic surgery facility. Now, this hospital is huge... I'm talking about blocks and blocks worth of buildings. I parked in not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR parking lots/structures before I finally found the right place. To say the least I was irritated that my new employer hadn't given better directions.

Oh well, all that drama is behind me. The Boyfriend is taking me out for a celebratory dinner tonight so I better get ready!

Oh, and before I forget, That'd What Je Said also had an interview today (hope it went well!) and while reviewing possible interview questions to prepare, she came across this one: "What is your personal mission statement?" and it really got me thinking. I'm going to ponder that for awhile and will have my answer for you later.

What is your personal mission statement?
