To start: White Girl: Are you looking for a room? Me: No, but my Australian friend is looking for one. She'll be here in two weeks or so. WG: Cool, I'm trying to rent my room fast. Me: All right, well if you want, I can take your number and get her to call you. WG: OK, cool. [snowpaz is crouched down, pen and paper handy] WG: Wait. Is she Asian? Me: No, she's Australian, of European background. Why? WG: Oh, because Asians make the best roommates. White people make the absolute worst roommates. They're never reliable and they're always in a bad mood. But if you say she's cool then maybe I'll consider it. Hm. 6.25 hours of work today! Stuffing envelopes! Filing! Sorting paper into stacks! Ooo oooh oooh [insert snowpaz scratching her head and picking lice off of her little brothers]! Yes! I am a monkey! I should have signed up with Kelly Services a while ago, but I just wasn't that eager for money. Yesterday, it was apparent that I was eager for money and decided to register. They found me this job at Science World, which was pretty darn fun and then tomorrow I start a four-week assignment cutting advertisements and media articles for another cool company. And the pay isn't too too shabby. On the permanent front, I declined a job that pays $9,000 more than the job I really want. But this does not matter to me. My sanity and happiness is worth much more than that, methinks.
And I feel fine....... - 2004-02-23 |
