job offering
yesterday i went for an interview. i just got a phone call offering me the job. i don't even want a job! why did i say i was still interested? why? i could be jobless, free, and unfettered. no one else in my family has a job. my mom doesn't care. but what if i turn down this job and then i can't get another job for months? i have no skills. it's not like i'm good at anything in particular.
let me tell you a little about this job. it's working for a wholesale book distributor in the bay area (located in oakland by the airport and coliseum) doing customer service (phones) and data entry of orders. this is not glamorous. pay is minimal and it is far away from where i live. but there is a cat which lives there and lots of pretty books to look at and the potential for interesting co-workers. there's no dress code, my hair can be as crazy as i like, and did i mention the on-site cat? it doesn't seem like demanding or responsiblity driven work. but i am not sure if the computers are hooked up to the internet. which could pose a serious problem to my getting thru each day. wait...they have a webpage and email addresses...they must have internet. hmm well that is one concern eliminated. i could have health benefits again and money for all my expensive habits.
but working in oakland....for $9/hour....these are crazy intense drawbacks.

I think you should take the job, and when you eventually quit you can steal the cat. And while you are working there you can steal books.

gasp erica. i could not steal books from there.
my mom said, “maybe you can give them some cats.” i like how you want me to take their cat AWAY. like i need MORE.
