After talking with Tricarico for a bit last night, he suggested I apply for the NYC Fellowship program. It's HIGHLY competitive to get in, but it's worth a shot. Applications are due by next Sunday. I've always wanted to teach, but I can't afford to get my masters.... what better than getting paid to GET my masters! Definitely going to be applying ( Read more... )

As time passes at OTB I can accept the fact that that is currently my job. What scares me is that fact that everyone thinks I SHOULD be able to pull in $1000 a month, which is my basic need to sustain my bills, gas, and other general items (make up, hair). This does NOT leave me any money to go out, ever, or save for anything, ever. I just told my ( Read more... )

So I don't think I got the job at Croxleys. I'm not bummed on that specifically, more or less bummed that money is going to be really tight until I find something greater. Training at OTB is grueling, not hard, but so redundant and "I can't believe they're making me do this AGAIN". I really DON'T want to work there, but again, I have very few ( Read more... )

Still no call from Croxley's. When someone tells you they'll call you in a couple of days, how long does that really span for? They still haven't made ANY calls, my sources say. Pfft ( Read more... )

Writing in this is definitely becoming an asset to me. It's for one, breaking up the monotonicity of my every day life in which I'm not doing much. It's also helping me sort my thoughts, which seemed to get jumbled very easily these days, since I'm left alone with them most of the day ( Read more... )

I have my interview last night. Went pretty well, I didn't hesitate on questions, and to be honest, I DO think I'm an asset to any restaurant, so I have no problem selling myself as that. They told me they'd call me back in a couple of days, because they seemed to have a bunch of interviews lined up (thanks to Craiglists, I'm sure). This made me ( Read more... )

So immediately after losing my job, Stefanie contacted me and asked me if I'd like a job at Croxley's, to come in and fill out an application. Not even a day after I lost my job I had my sorry ass in Farmingdale filling out the application. Stefanie was even able to score me an interview with the manager (which apparently is as difficult as getting ( Read more... )

I lost my job December 17th, and I've been searching for a new one since. I FINALLY found another, but it hasn't seemed to ease my mind in the least. I got a job at On the Border in Hicksville. I was supposed to start on Sunday, but the guy in charge of training me called out that day, and it was post-poned till this Saturday. This means ANOTHER ( Read more... )
