Smote In The Eye, Part II

My roommate's career in balloon animals got stalled last week when one of the animals she was twisting burst and hit her in the eye. Apparently, this is a common hazard of the job.

Another celebrity sighting in Whole Foods yesterday: Mena Suvari sporting a shaved head.

As for me, no word yet on whether I scored an interview for the personal assistant job. I do, however, think I will likely receive a job offer for a temporary library position that could result in a permanent placement in the West Hollywood area, which is very close to my home. The job is with yet another library system in the area.

Got my fifth parking ticket today. Am now up to $250 in tickets. Am babysitting for my French neighbor tonight, which will help to recoup my losses.

Investing In My Future

Back at the real estate investment company today, where more madness ensued due to some unpaid phone bills. It's been two months since I left, but already I don't recognize half the people working there.

My roommate D. is currently in rehearsals with a children's troupe. She left a depressed message on my cell this afternoon, saying she was a thirtysomething single woman "making balloon animals for a living."

On a more positive note, the passing on of my resume last night actually yielded a job interview. Interesting book-related position for a happenin' megastore, but the pay, predictably, is low.
