Lost

Alright, I should probably update everyone on what happened with that interview that I predicted would be a disaster.

It never happened.

I drove myself there (illegal and bad choice). I got so lost. I ended up in some really bad part of the north side, after I was already 20 mins late, and I just gave up and went home. I didn't bother rescheduling. First, there's a bunch of issues with insurance and such for my car. Then, I don't actually have my license yet. Third, it would be an hour drive for me every day and well, I don't want to put my poor half-dead car through that.

There is hope for me yet, however.

My mom's company (Northwestern Mutual) is hiring 15 new POS (Policy Owner Services) associates. Since this is my mom's department, she can forward my resume to the hiring manager and put in a good word for me. There's only one problem: It's a full time position and I do have one in person class that I really can't drop. I could try to find another time to take it (like at night) except it would not be in west allis. I'm hoping to have my license before I go transferring to the downtown campus. That, and that particular campus is not in a good area and I do not feel comfortable being in that area at night (Yeah, I live in the suburbs. Does it show?). But I suppose that's a bridge to cross when I come to it.

Today is also going to be the most uneventful valentine's day ever. The Boy and I are both extremely poor, so we MIGHT see a movie but most likely we'll just end up sitting at home doing nothing like every other night. A couple friends want to go out much later, but The Boy is fighting with one of them and that's just drama I don't want to touch. I'll let them duke it out and figure out what's going on. Which is really a shame because I was looking forward to hanging out with them. I don't have enough people to just hang out with, and The Boy and I don't have...any...mutual friends. In fact, for the most part, we hate each other's friends (except for this couple, but like I said, there's drama).

Nothing else of interest is going on in my life. It snowed, and that sucks, but it is still February and this is still Wisconsin. It seems to be melting already though.

Ok, I'm going to go rouse The Boy and see if he'd like to go see a movie.
