No rest for the wicked, I suppose.

thejunipertreeIt is 6:10 in the morning and I am (obviously) awake.
Wait. Let me rephrase that sentence:
It is 6:10 in the GODDAMN morning and I am GODDAMN awake.
hrmph.
Why am I up so early? Oh-ho! Up? I haven't been to fucking sleep.
I attempted to sleep, but it was not forthcoming. See, today I am meant to go to some silly unemployment orientation bullshit at 8:45. I have to drop my mother off at her office then drive to a rather unsavory part of New Jersey. This means I have to leave the apartment at 7:45. Earlier, if I can manage it.
So, I went to bed around 1:30. Okay, I'm lying. I turned out my light and laid down at about 2:10. Tossed, turned, sang to myself in my head, sang to myself a loud, got up to pee about a billion and a half times, smoked a cigarette, etc. You get the idea. Sleep was just not happening for me. I got up at 5:30, a full hour before my clock was set to go off.
I am NOT a happy girl right now.
This orientation is going to be sheer hell, I just know it. Three scheduled hours of being surrounded by people I do not know and probably don't wish to be around at that ungodly hour, while being told how to look for a job. Which I damn well already know how to do.
I am going to get through this solely on the hope that I'll be able to speak to someone (with a brain in their head) about pursuing college whilst receiving unemployment benefits.
Hoping.

Date: 2003-07-27 09:51 pm (UTC)It really was a large waste of my time, though. And the coming ones will be even worse. Resume writing? Pah! My resume is fucking /spectacular./ And I don't even know what the other meeting is for. I kind of zoned out after a while.
