Yep, another Monday has rolled round and yours truly is still a fully-paid up member of the In Between Jobs Club(®). Nope, no phonecall from the company I had the second interview with last Tuesday, and I'm starting to fantasise about phoning up the Human Resources lady and giving her a god-damn piece of my mind about common courtesy and getting people's hopes up and how hard is it to keep a person in the loop, mmmm???
To take my mind off my extensive woes, I went into town and treated myself to a coffee and a muffin because I deserve it, then hit the DVD store again - Monday means weekly DVDs at $1 each so how could I resist a bargain like that in my unemployed situation. Got out The Other Boleyn Girl (like ScarJo and Natalie Portman as actresses), Wall Street (I've never seen it), The Departed (Mark Wahlberg was the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear last night and mentioned this was the best movie he'd been cast in) and (I pounced on this one when I spotted it! I covet that white T-Bird!) American Graffiti,
To counter all this self-indulgence I then had to go and do the weekly grocery shopping. As I drifted round PakNSave, I reminisced over the times when it was only the Other Harf, Miss 8 and myself to shop for. We could have pork (Lil'Sis doesn't like it) or Thai Green Curry (it disturbes Bruvinlaw's metabolism) and Movenpick Chocolate Icecream (not really considered a budget, family sort of purchase at $8+ a tub) when ever we wanted.
So, the good news for all concerned is that the Moving Out of the Kiwifruit Homestead/Moving in to the Beige Shed date for my sis and family is looming on the horizon - @six weeks and counting. I will not be getting the marker pen out to cross off the days, but it's going to be a date that I'll certainly be counting down to and may celebrate with some Thai Green Curried Pork.
6 weeks? I'm crossing my fingers for you!!!
The Departed is a brilliant film- brilliant!
I'm with Lil Sis on pork though- yeech!
I agree that that's a lack of common courtesy - a "I'm sorry you didn't get it" phonecall would have cost cents! 6 weeks eh?? Just dream about pork ;o)
yup I'm a member of that club too *sigh* I'm starting to get bored...
I'll be right over for Thai Green Curry. And when you come visit me here there is the best Thai place just 2 blocks away! Yum! And, uh, pork? One of the many reasons I can't ever go vegetarian. Nuf said.
