Jeans and Sneakers

And here I was thinking it was dragging along. Monday we got amazing and lovely warm weather, and I went to the city to meet up with Wyn. We went and got thai food and walked around Central Park. Here’s a picture of me looking silly.

We had a lot of fun. I’d never been to Central Park before. We only made it through maybe 2/5ths of the park, though it seemed like more. We ended up wandering around some trails inside. After that we headed back to her new NYC apt where we played with bits of string!!

The night ended with some home made dinner and finally, Karaoke. It really was a fun time. I only wish I could have done more of the treating.

Another thing happened too. On the way into the city, I had called a prospective employer to set up an interview. We talked for a little bit, and set the interview for Tuesday morning. I was excited, because they were looking to hire immediately, and that meant that if I landed the job, I could possibly not miss paying any of my bills, and the transition would be smooth. Of course, that’s provided I got the job, but one can hope.

Anyway, about 45 minutes later, I met up with Wyn in Penn Station, and we were just about to hop on the subway, and out of cellphone range, when I got a call. It was the same prospective employer, calling back to let me know that he had decided to hire a girl who he found out used to work for a friend of his and came with very high reviews from his friend. He thanked me for my time, and we hung up.

Man that really put a damper on my day! As much fun as I was having, my brain always found a way to return to the fact that I’d have to keep looking for another job, that this one, which by the way, paid a decent amount, was already barred to me. I tried not to let it get me down too much, but sometimes it did anyway.

Tuesday I woke up and couldn’t walk. It was bad enough when I got off the train at my home station I was limping enough that Rob noticed it from the car when he came to get me. My knee was killing me and both my ankles felt like they were going to give out at any minute. Surprisingly on Tuesday my knee was fine, but my ankles were pretty sore, and my calves were the worst. They had tightened while I slept and walking was near impossible. I could barely hobble from the bedroom to the bathroom. It’s a good thing I didn’t have to go anywhere.

Today (I know the date says Thursday already, and I could change it, but then the time would be all messed up. I’m writing this entry for Wednesday) it wasn’t so bad. Still a little sore, but nothing like yesterday.

This morning I woke up to my cell phone ringing. I thought it was Rob’s phone because I changed my ringer a while back, and I’m still not used to it. I knew it was mine when the voicemail alert went off. Chewbacca’s roar is always a dead giveaway. Anyhow, the prospective employer had called me back saying that something had happened, and he was rescheduling all of the interviews he had cancelled on Monday. Rock. So I called him back and have an interview tomorrow (today really) morning at 10. If all goes well, I might be employed by next week. I’m so supposed to be sleeping, but my sleep schedule is all messed up. I’ll be alright tomorrow though, I’m sure.

Edit: Oh yeah.  I also Devoured the book Eragon yesterday.  I was supposed to watch a movie with Rob yesterday, but I couldn’t put the book down.  I finished it, but of course, now I want to read the sequel.  Sigh.
