November, already? Seriously?

Holy Cow - is it me or are you guys surprised it's November already too? I know I haven't been posting lately, I'm finally catching up with computer stuff today since I have to keep myself busy until work at 5. Eww, totally the worst thing about waitressing is working Sunday nights, which I always am - and next week I have a double at 10am and 5 pm, gross, real job... please find me!

Which brings me to my fingers crossed news - Harpo studios called last week (Harpo = Oprah!) and my God that would be perfect. They called about an editorial intern position, which is only $10/hour but its for Oprah.com in Chicago, so basically I'd do it for $2/hour lol. She talked to me for about ten minutes and told me to send a few things their way and that its the beginning of the process for this position so not to be discouraged if its a week or two before I hear anything, so that would be wonderful. I would actually be doing something related to my degree and I don't have to move and Oprah probably isn't going bankrupt or anything soon... so that's where I am in my job search right now. It was pretty nice because I didn't even apply for this position, but they kept me on file from a previous app, so that's a good sign too!

As for my current job, I don't hate it but I don't love it. I work pretty much 5-6 shifts a week and make about $40/lunch, $90ish at dinners, which would be ok except my shifts are anywhere from 3-8 hours which sucks because they don't post "closers" but just decide when we're there which means I can go in for a dinner shift at 4:30pm and end up there until 1:30am... without a break, food or the ability to sit down, except for the many times I take pee breaks of course lol.

The rest of my life is pretty boring filled with little bursts of baking and drinking I guess lol I went to a wedding last week and was told I had sexy calves lol and spent Halloween dressed as a bottle of ketchup with Bridge & Mags last night, so that was a nice add on to my usual work and sleep schedule.

Feel free to read my stuff at Cake Journal or nillarose and keep your fingers crossed that Oprah (or someone that works for her :) calls soon!

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed your extra hour of sleep!!!
