More jobs and books and STILL can’t count on the bus...

Ok I was late for another job interview today, seems I can never count on the fucking bus. I actually did manage to have the interview 30 minutes latter than intended, and it actually went really well. The woman (I’m tempted to say “girl”, she’s a recent graduate and only a year older than me, and kinda cute to boot) doing the hiring seemed really interested; guess being bilingual is a big plus in this world as we’ve all heard. But then the proverbial brick wall that always seems to pop up popped up; the Work Study grant says that I need to have earned money by tomorrow, not just be hired. She said she would contact me about it within the next 24 hours. She seemed really annoyed, not at me, but at the whole Work Study funding system (basically this little deadline not only put me out of the running, but all of the people that have applied for the job). I guess the Federal Government is intent on never giving me money, even if I want to actually work for it. She did say that she might be able to hire me for less money, and even asked if I would be willing to do it as a volunteer only. The place seemed really cool, so I would actually consider her last offer.

I also read the first 35 pages or so of Fight Club today, really good stuff. Really easy to get into, and really hold the readers interest. I however prefer the way that the narrator and Tyler met in the film as opposed to the novel...
