i got an interview!

so, as you may have gleened (gleaned?) from the title of today's post, i got an interview for a totally awesome job at So Others Might Eat as a Crisis Management Counselor. Basically, SOME provides mental health services for DC's homeless and poverty-stricken, and the crisis management program will serve as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization for those who need it but can't afford it - lots of schizophrenics, apparently. so, my primary responsibilities would be providing counseling for these patients, monitoring medications, etc.

sounds pretty awesome, right? well, you haven't heard the coolest part yet. it's a full-time job, and i'll only be working 2 days a week. 2 non-consecutive 24 hour shifts, with 4 hours of sleep per shift. so, i'll work 40 hours in 2 days and have 5 days off per week. can you freaking imagine? i could get a second job, i could take classes, i could update my blog constantly, i could do anything. seriously. bad-ass! wish me luck on this interview, guys: monday, february 7th, 3 pm EST.

also, tonight, my extremely annoying roommate chad (for those of you who don't know my living situation, i'm renting one room of a two-bedroom apartment from an awesome guy named john. chad is a guy who used to rent my room, then moved out to move in with his girlfriend - then, around the same time i moved into my room, he broke up with his girlfriend and moved back into my apartment "just for a few weeks" until he could find something better. well, that was october, and he's still here. hence, his nickname: "the hanging chad") has a few of his extremely annoying friends over tonight, and it's awful. i'm in my room but i can hear his horrible, booming voice. remember that episode of the family guy where peter invites dr. weed over for dinner and peter says he has trouble controlling the volume of his voice when he's nervous? well, chad is like that, except he's always unbearably loud, whether he's nervous or not. so, really, he has nothing in common with peter in that episode, i just wanted to reference family guy. anyway, chad has no social skills and has no concept of when he should shut the hell up, which is often. he just prattles on, oblivious to the extreme emotional distress of whomever has the misfortune of sharing a room with him. and he always talks about the most inane, idiotic, sophomoric bullshit. like, i'll be watching the last 2 minutes of CSI and they're just about to reveal the plot twist and he'll shout some trivia about karl marx's troubled adolescence and i'm like, hey douchebag! arrrrgh. anyway. that's the story of the hanging chad, and he doesn't seem to have any intentions of moving out soon.

okay, i guess that's it.

OH! if any of you haven't seen million dollar baby yet, please go out and see it right now. if you can't afford it, i will send you $8 so you can see this movie. those of you who know me best know my propensity to exaggerate, but million dollar baby might literally be the best movie i've ever seen. so go see it now.
