• Drunk

  I haven’t been around much lately…I’ve been busy.

  So a friend of mine invited me to be her date to her office party, which was held in her boss’s “mancave,” or second garage, Friday night. I didn’t think I would be drinking, but, oh, I did….did I ever.

  The day for them (my friend, her boss, the two other employees and their SOs), started at 8:30 am, where they met at the boss’s house. A limo picked them up, and they drank mimosas in the limo, on the way to the Mall of America (about an hour and a half drive from there). The boss gave the employees $500 to shop with, and they spent all day at the mall. So when they got back to the boss’s house after shopping, I showed up literally as the limo was leaving. I started with drinking a couple of beers. Then I had a few shots of this really delicious drink that tasted like milk after cinnamon toast crunch. Had few more beers as we played tippy cup, had a mixed drink of Kinky and 7up, more beer, then my friend’s boss started mixing drinks and giving everyone shots. I had a mojito with fresh mint sprigs, a shot of Red Hot, and a shot of Hot Damn, I think it was called, kind of like Red Hot (at least, I think that’s what it was..no idea). Needless to say, at the end of the night when people were dancing, I was sitting in one of the chairs, sleeping.

  It was mostly a fun night, and my friend’s boss is awesome..I wish I could work there. For the white elephant, I got a vibrating, fluffy ball. It’s awesome. The food was good and the alcohol was good too. I wasn’t hung over yesterday..I just felt really exhausted. My body sweated all the alcohol from my system as I slept..I woke up a few times in the middle of the night and damn was I hot…I felt like I was roasting.

  Anyway. I have a lot of things to do. Apparently the landlord has already found a replacement renter, and we have to be out sooner than I was planning…so instead of the 20th, I have to be out before the 11th. I don’t what the fuck to do. I have to put all my shit in storage…and I can’t even afford a storage unit right now. The only good news is that I have an interview with a staffing company on Friday who may have immediate placement for me…she was impressed with my test scores, she said I was “one smart cookie,” and she goes, “Yeah, we have to get you in here.” But still, even if I start something next Monday, I still won’t have a paycheck in time to help my dad with rent, or get a storage unit. It really sucks, because I don’t even know where to look for a job anymore. There are more jobs in the cities, but if I get a job there, I’m going to have to sleep on my sister’s couch for a few months until I can save enough money to get my own apartment. There aren’t as many jobs down here where my mom lives. Most of the jobs are something like fast food or retail, and I can’t live making such little money. I would never be able to pay my bills like that. And there’s a 90 mile difference, one way, between where all the real job opportunities are and where my mom lives. I’ve already spent all the money I make working for my step dad down here on gas, traveling up to the cities for interviews. I don’t even know if it’s worth it.

  But. Oh well I guess.. I’ll just keep applying for jobs in both places and see what happens….
