Oh yea...

A couple other interesting things have happened besides my strange little soap opera in my head. First things first, I got a random compliment at the library the other day. I was just sitting at a table (or rather the table as our library is quite small) reading a magazine when a guy came up and plopped down his bag at the end of the table. I glanced over to see if I knew the owner. He had left by that time but when he returned he asked if he could share a table with me. I glanced up and replied 'sure' at which he exclaimed that I had the most amazing eyes he has ever seen. I thanked him and said that that was the first time I had gotten a compliment on my eyes in a while because I had been wearing rather thick glasses for the past four years. We ended up having quite a nice little conversation after that- he is supposedly a poet working on his first book and has been published in a few magazines and other such works over the years. Twas a nice little experience to have a complete stranger make such a comment though. Secondly, I have another job. This one is an actual job job too- not some bullshit commissions only sales shit. Unfortunatly, this one part of the food service industry. Even more unfortunatly, this one is part of the fast food service industry. Even more unfortunatly, this one is part of the McDonalds fast food service industry. The story is as follows...I had been looking for a job all summer when I decided to go to the nearby McDonalds and apply. They were out of applications but were in fact actually hiring-which was a major difference from every other possibility I had been able to track down. Because they were hiring but out of applications, I left my name and number there for the manager to call if she wanted me to come in for an interview. I did this never expecting to hear from them again of course, but I figured it would be a good idea. Then low and behold, I get a call on Saturday from the manager asking me to come in Monday to fill out an application and go for an interview on the spot. I came, I filled out, I interviewed and she informed me that she would like me to come back for orientation later that day. I had been hired, just like that. I only have about two weeks left to work of course, but thats about two hundred dollars I can make. Anyways, I went back to orientation earlier today. Behind the counter at McDonalds is definatly the last place I ever wanted to find myself again. The floor and the grease and the smell and just the feel in the air makes me want to cringe and run away. Money is money though, and I am definatly a lot smarter and a lot wiser than I was the first time I worked at McDonalds. Too bad being smarter and wiser won't erase the memories...Anyways...thats whats been going on lately. Definatly a lot for a little blonde girl who has such pressing matters on her mind...Oh, and I got a backrub today! I like backrubs... ^_~Felicia
