"Well I still feel ill, though not as bad as yesterday. I am not however up to going job hunting. Trying to convince someone to hire you when your throat hurts, the touch of your clothes makes your skin sore and you feel like a wombat curled up in your mouth and died is not a good idea.
This means also however that I can't rationalize going up to Boston for the Boston Poly get-together. If I'm too sick to find a job locally, I am too sick to drive 2 hours to have fun. Plus I don't want to get all of them sick.
I get to take my mom's car in to get the windshield replaced today. Plus today she returns from her vacation, and will find out about my getting fired. That ought to be an interesting conversation. Though I have already decided that if she starts lecturing me I am just going to walk away. After all there is nothing she can say about what I did wrong that I am not excruciatingly aware of.
Dropped off my Napa Uniforms yesterday, and talked a bit more with my former boss. He reaffirmed that I should list him as a reference, and specifically told me not to list why I got fired. He said he knows I made a mistake, and that he doesn't want it to follow me around for the rest of my life. So instead we'll simply say that I and the company had different ideas on which direction we wanted to go in. Nicely ambiguous.
I have no idea what my chances of getting it are, but I applied for a job yesterday that would actually pay more than Napa did, and would guarantee my weekends free. I can't hinge all my hopes on it though, and once I am feeling better I need to go out and get my resume off to a lot more places.
Tomorrow is a NE-furs get together, and Sunday is a CT-Poly potluck. ANd who knows, I might find something fun to do in between those."
