The Pink Shoe Diaries

omg there is much to discuss:

first of all, i am quitting my job. it is just not working out at all. i dont like to talk money: but working 10 hours a day is not cool when you are SALARIED and making under 30K. i mean essentially i am making less than $10 an hour. hello? how am i supposed to afford my Dior Party Sunglasses on that kind of money? secondly: i was sick this week and while i was gone my boss got into my email account, checked all my email, emailed all my friends YELLING at them for emailing me at work, and (according to my source) read aloud parts of emails to the office manager (who just so happens to be his wife). thirdly: when i was hired, i was told the hours are 8-5 but it ended up that i rarely leave before 6. so on friday, being that i had a party to go to, i left right at 5 and he was "very dissapointed" that i left work "early". whatevs.

so, i have a job interview with an asset management/financial type company in downtown crossing tomorrow morning. it's an admin position, but its way more money, non salaried and has dental benefits. i had a phone interview this afternoon and the woman who interviewed me and i got along famously. i was still in the throes of realizing that my boss had been in my email and emailed my friends, so i was very frank with her about what i will and will not tolerate in a work environment. she concured that my boss is a jerk, and i need to come work for them. so we will see....i'm interviewing at 10, then lunching with jenny afterwards. (did i mention im not giving 2 wks notice at my current job? they can go fuck themselves as far as i am concerned)

phew, now that that is done.

my weekend was quite lovely. on friday i attended a halloween soiree at adam's friend lokesh's house in Boston. i was a greek goddess in flowing white robes, adam was a white trash rocker complete with mullet wig. we were quite the couple. anyway, we found legal parking close to the party (a novelty!) and ended up befriending another couple: amanda and joe, who are our new best friends (adam and i have been in the market for a "couple friend" because they are hard to come by around here). we boozed, we joked. at one point, a young college boy asked me "hey, are you caesar?" which i CLEARLY was not. later in the night, i was recounting this event to one of my million New Best Friends, and said "can you believe some asshole actually though i was caesar?" and he, of course, ended up being the same young man who had said that to me. oh well, live and learn. we ended up going home with amanda and joe (quel trash!) , picked up some wingit on the way, and hung out until the wee small hours of the morning. on the way home, i realized some trash had vandalized my car by snapping off the passenger side exterior mirror so it hung forlornly down the side. you can image the wrath this kind of thing incurred: i mean many of you have seen me when i think something as small as my wallet has been messed with...but you do NOT mess with someone's vehicle. that is just wrong.

but as with everything in life that does not go my way, i attribute it to "trash" who are too poor to afford what i have, and thus take pleasure in ruining it for me. this is horrible i suppose, but it makes ME feel better. so deal.

on a less bitchy tip: i voted today. i did it nice and early and i was still the 605th person to vote in my precent. i always feel good after i vote. i'm trying not to be cynical about this reaction: but after being a Democrat in this country for the past 5 years...it has been really easy to become cynical ( i have campaigned for Brian Joyce (lost!), Robert Reich (lost!) and Howard Dean and we all know how that turned out. i tend to pick losers. In a way though, i have always thought that being a Democrat is like being a Red Sox fan and being a Republican is like being a Yankees fan....and being that the Red Sox spanked the Yanks this year...here's hoping for a similar spanking in the political arena. I'll take a sexy Ass over an Elephant any day.
