ontologyToday the Quill & Ink Society had another meeting at last, during which some writing got done, I acquired several tattoos, Hannah christened a centipede Fitzgerald and then promptly squashed it to death with a boot, and all of the very chocolatey cookies I made disappeared with astonishing rapidity.
While we were in the middle of a writing exercise, Mum called. Someone at Ross called and WANTS TO INTERVIEW ME. Ross is by and large TJ Maxx with a different name, and possibly more interesting household goods; it also happens to be one of my favourite stores, because it is full of discount items, most of which are somewhat quirky and extremely well suited to my taste. (It also has excellent inexpensive basic electronics, such as earbuds, giant headphones, headphone splitters, miniature speakers, iPod alarm clocks, and other such tempting and useful things.) The store is large, but not massive, and very bright, and in the mall, which is easy riding distance from my house. I called back as soon as I got home, and have an interview set up for tomorrow (Saturday) at one. Oh dear, I do hope this works out. I would like to have money and something to occupy my time.
Because I am fairly nervous I have set out my clothing for tomorrow already -- red and black, for confidence, but not too much black, lest I look dour: black dress shirt, black-and-red-and-white patchwork skirt with a bit of frill to it, red stockings, dark red leather jacket, and I am attempting to decide whether it would be best to wear my more conservative heels or if my granny boots would be a little too quirky for a first impression. Frittering away my mental energy on such frivolous topics is somewhat calming. ohdearohdearohdear.
