iceminkThis trying to get back into writing thing, not going as well as I'd like. Actually I'm making some headway on a short PWP I've been working on forever. As much as I'd like to work on my WIPs, the muse just isn't headed that way right now and I'm not going to try and force her.
On the bright side, I got two pretty good job leads yesterday. First I got a call back from a restaurant I'd e-mailed my resume to, and I have an interview on Tuesday. It's a place I think I'd have a lot of fun working, so I'm hoping I can sell myself well enough to get the job. I also found out about a bar that was looking to hire right away so I called up and they told me to come in last night. There were two other women there filling out applications when I arrived, but they had both just graduated bartending school, and didn't even have resumes put together, so I feel like I have a good chance there. It's not really a place I'd prefer to work, because evidently they mostly sell by the bottle, so I wouldn't really be there to pour drinks, but to look pretty. Still it's work, and I wouldn't turn it down if they offered it to me.
The problem is, I can't help but get my hopes up, which is the real reason I'm so emotionally worn out. It's like dating only worse. No one ever calls you back. Okay, enough complaining, I'm off to try and wright some more.
