in my online application for Walgreen's last night i was listing my previous job experience. i put down The Airport Lounge at Hampshire College, where, i'm sure you remember i was an overnight monitor for many years. and i rocked at it.

so then you had to go down and check off the skills or tasks that this job required, or that you learned.

did i check off 'Creating Displays?'

YES. YES I DID. because every night that i worked i had to set up the coffee pot, the creamer, the sugar, the tea, the hot cocoa, the coffee stirrers, napkins, etc! and it looked great!

ALSO - the airport lounge signs that i designed. let me show you, in case you forgot how awesome it was:



yeah. i wonder if that sign is still there. MAN that is awesome.

anyways. yes, i learned some valuable skills in the Airport Lounge.

and it must have showed, because i got a call this morning from the Walgreen's guy asking me to call him about my application.

i called him back just before 11:30 am. i had a 1pm interview. and he offered me the job on the spot.

ON THE SPOT! hired ON THE SPOT. crazy. not more than 16 hours after i submitted my application i had the job. crazy!

who gets hired that fast? ME! cause i'm awesome!

i think i'll be working mostly 4pm-10pm shifts, which i am happy about. although, i have already become friends with a lovely woman who works during the day shift.

i'm not really excited about the JOB. but i'm excited about having more friends. i'm also excited about getting paid to work. because i haven't gotten a paycheck in over a month.

anyways. that's my news for right now.

then i came home and took a nap. i set my alarm for a 1.5 hour nap. but, it turned into an almost 4 hour nap.

and i had a dream that i was on a vacation with my parents and kara and we were staying at this really old hotel. and Amanda Seyfreid, Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson also happened to be staying there. and there were two instances where we got into the elevator and Amanda was also in there, and she would say to someone,

AMANDA: Oh, I love your shoes.
PERSON: Thanks!
AMANDA: When you bought them, did they have a lot of them?

it was strange. and then one night i met up with Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton in the hotel lobby and we ended up hanging out until 5am.

i think this dream comes after the DRAMATIC season 3 finale of The O.C.

OMG. i cried during many parts. they graduated from high school!! aww and all their parents were crying! so i cried too!

the first disc of season 4 will arrive tomorrow. CAN'T WAIT. i think it's going to be really sad. i heard it's a really sad season from my friend Johanna.

hm.

i think i'm going to take a bath tonight. like, right now actually. Ruby snuggled with me on the couch tonight for sooo long. just all curled up on my chest like a baby. it was really sweet.


HEY! if you're in Los Angeles tonight go see Crash Kings! they're performing at The Roxy!!!

you should go see them before they start selling out stadiums. for realz.

i had to go to Vermont this morning to pick someone up at the Shady Lawn Motel. i learned that this is like, the number 1 drug dealing place in the area. awesome, right? but, it's right next to the Village Piano Shop. which, i always find so strange. i don't know why i find it strange, i suppose there has to be shops for pianos.

but they should be in very pristine locations. not under the highway overpass next to a motel full of drug dealers.

OK. it's time for Ruby Tuesday's supper. i'll talk to you later!!!

have a great night!!!!
