Got an email from old Manager today and HR had called her to find out about me and that the HR person will be contacting me soon for a phone interview & my old manager thinks i’ll be in with a good chance.
I’ll be based in the City store but will be driving around to other stores to help with their merchandising as well so my only boss with be the Head VM who can be a bit of a...
Plane ticket home is booked
Gah so much hassle though, on the STA website they didn’t have an international phone number only a 13 number (which you can’t call from overseas) so i had to try and change my ticket via email and the girl i had been dealing with must not be there any more so i was dealing with this other guy.
I have no idea what his problem was but he kept on giving me available dates that...
Don't you hate when you waste your good hair?
Tonight I was supposed to go out and see D’s band play tonight and we were getting ready when M started yelling at D and then declared she had a PMS headache and we weren’t going out.
The worst part was apart from getting dressed (had fab outfit organised in my head) I was completely ready complete with hair that had taken all day to do (my hair is a complicated beast that needs to be...
Coming Home
So it’s 99% certain that I am coming home in September and i’m not all that upset about it to be honest. I mean I could stick it out since I’ll have my money then anyway but to do what? and then have to come home 4 months later anyway and be even more in debt and have no money. Least this way i can use my money to pay off all my debts and have some money behind me in Sydney. Have...
Emailed my old Area Manager in Australia as there is a Visual Merchandising job going in Sydney for the clothing company I used to work for and I definately think I want to pursue a career in VM whilst I work on my own clothing designs. Least this way there will be no conflict of interests like there would be if i worked as an Assistant Designer.
She is going to speak to the Head VM and find out...
Went out last night to see my room mates new band play, wasn’t a huge night, am too poor to spend $6 for a glass of beer so only had a couple of drinks.
The band was pretty good, brit rock type stuff with a female lead singer. Afterwards we were talking to the British guitarist and the first thing he said was ‘You have awesome hair’ which means he is clearly gay, as it’s...
My new alcohol obsession
I wrote a couple of weeks ago how my new favorite alcohol was Hendrick’s Gin, well it’s now been superseded by St-Germain Elderflower Liquer. Mmmm good and so versatile, I have taken to either drinking it with Champagne (or in my cheap ass case, Prosecco) or just with sparkling mineral water and ice on a hot summer afternoon.
Plus it comes in such a pretty bottle, though i’d...
Golden Girls Ahoy!
I am so excited about moving in with 2 of my Golden Girls (Kiki & Lozy) next year in Sydney. We will have such an awesome place as we all have similar tastes (apart from Kiki hating mine and Lozzy’s penchant for animal themed knick knacks and decor) and we know what it’s like living with each other from all our road trips and holidays away together, weeeeeeee!

Meh
Not sure how the job interview went, its hard to tell, they had way cute stuff though.
On the way home i stopped and went into Trader Joes and got some stuff to make dinner tonight. Am making Kitty’s neopolitana sauce for the first time, best be good *shakes fist*, actually everything you cook sounds good Kitty, i think you should write a recipie book for me.
You know what I am totally over? California’s perfect sunny days.
I mean it’s good in a sense since I don’t have a car and walk everywhere but its also so bloody boring. I miss having thunderstorms and as crazy as the Texas weather was, at least it was unpredictable.
That being said, its slightly overcast today which i hope means its going to be cooler since I have to walk to...
Praise you baby jaysus
Have a job interview tomorrow for a clothing boutique around the corner from my house which is tres convient. It’s a cool mix of designer and cheap stuff which is fine by me and all the HSM and Disney girls who live in the area all shop there. It’s 20-30 hrs a week.
Am thinking if I don’t get this job i’ll go home as I can get work back home with my old company and live...
Not much to report here, my biggest achievement of the day was going to the 99c only store where i got some mini almond mounds, body lotion, razers, granola bars, rye crackers, baby wipes and a greeting card to send to my nana, it has a kitteh on it.
Totes want these boots from UO, would look awesome with stockings in winter
Want these Frye boots pretty much purely for the colour
and i don’t think i need any explanation as to why i want these, the pattern says it all.
haha got a reply about a job i applied for that was supposed to be a high end womens boutique, turns out its a kids shop.
Anyone who knows me will appreciate the irony in that
Actually i think he’s a dirty perv.
Walked to Rite Aid today to pick up my money transfer and now i have blisters on my feet from wearing my haviannas such a big distance but it was way too hot for sneakers. Oh well.
he didn’t seem too put off by it, haha
Baha or maybe not, he sent me a semi-dirty message on facebook and I told him off, hahaha.
Anyhoo just incase, i’ve started applying for positions in Sydney that I would move back now for, probably won’t get any, but worth a try yes?
Am tres excited about moving in with my Golden Girls Kiki and Lozzy next year in Sydney, will be so awesome.
I *MAY* have a job.
Applied for this job the other week to be the personal assistant to this young CEO of all these internet startup business. I thought it might be a scam cause he wanted to see facebook or mayspace pages so i gave him mine and he added me and told me I was cute and I was like ‘so is there actually a job or is this how you find girls on the internet’ and he was like...
Bless my friend Mia, she has just moved to Utah from Australia and so I called her today for a chat. She’s so cute, she was like come and live with me and Matt and there’s heaps of jobs in Salt lake city.
Haha I totes would but Utah? Really?
Bless her heart though
jaysus christ, I can’t even get a job as a temp. The temp agency that I was supposed to go for an interview with tomorrow just called me and basically told me not to bother because I don’t have office experience in the past 6 months and in this job climet, employers are getting more fussy with who they hire, she was like ‘i’ll keep your resume on file though for employers...
“ahhhh I love the Jessica & Hoyt storyline in True Blood, so cute!”
– I also may have shed a tear when he turned up to the hotel with flowers
I luffs my mummy
Called my mum and had a big tearful conversation with her when I told her i was going to come home in a couple of weeks if i can’t get a job she was like but you’ll get your money as soon as the house settles (big long story but I have $10,000 but it’s tied up in my old house that is up for auction in August) and I was like yeah, but i have absolutely no money and i can’t...

As a one last ditch effort to find a job, i signed up with a heap of temp agencies (which i did from my bed since i haven’t left it all day except to have a shower and to make some ramen, did wash my hair though so today was slightly productive).
Roommates have gone out, which is fine by me (although i would like to get out of the house and get some vitamin D) since there is a Law &...
urgh just keeps getting worse. This morning M (who has been my best friend for 15 years and I live in her and her husbands house with them) had a big go at me how I need to try harder since I am living here rent free (didn’t think it was the place to tell her so is she since her mother-in-law currently pays the morgage) and how I need to do more around the house. Apparently doing the...

Don’t think my Bloomies interview went too well, they kept on asking me how long i planned on working there and I had to totally lie. oh well.
Dropped my resume in at Bath & Body Works, Victorias Secret and Sephora. Least the Manager actually came out and met me at Sephora and seemed impressed with my resume so i guess i’ll see what happens.
Its getting to the point that...
Urgh feel so down tonight. I’m on such highs and lows right now.
I think I’m going to have to be realistic and face facts. If I don’t find a job in the next couple of weeks, I’m going to have to come home which I feel is such a waste but tonight I feel so down and lonely that it would be a relief.
