Rain, Cut it out!

It has rained 17 of the last 21 days! Everyday it's overcast. This weather is so weird I got an antenna today so i actually have a tv that i can watch now! i am so excited.

Tonight i am going to the village to see a band with chloe and carmine(?) and some other people. I think it will be fun.

Pigeons!

I hate pigeons. They are loud. I hear them outside my window every day. The noise they make sounds like two people getting it on. Which is really gross. Yesterday i left my apt and i was about to get on the elevator and there was a pigeon just standing there in the hallway. I think that pigeon is to blame for the alarm going off in the building TWICE yesterday! They are dirty and what's worse, they aren't afraid of humans.Their poop is everywhere. You dirty,dirty,bird!

Week wrap- up!

So movie night went well. I invited christina and ian, chermelle, and whitney. So we had snacks and watched on the waterfront and some standup of demetri martin. Then christina and ian left and then it was just the single girls. What do single girls talk about? Men! Well, the girls ended up leaving my house at 3 a.m. But it was fun.

So last week i started working at this dental office in the Heights. She's a female, which is a negative. I don't really like the office very much but it's only temporary. She basically told me that i am not worth what i am asking for. Which i found really insulting and i almost started crying. I automatically took what she said as true. It's not true. I am good at what i do. I just learned that you have to have confidence in yourself and your own abilities because people will say whatever, in order to make you feel inferior.

I met this sister at the meeting Sunday who used to be a dental assistant and she was so nice. She just told me that don't believe what they tell you they will say whatever in order to pay you less money. She told me to try the temp agency because that was how she was able to get a good job with a dentist in manhattan.So she just helped me to see that i shouldn't take what they say seriously.

Things are happening!

So i met this girl named whitney at the meeting last week. She lives in my building. She is so nice she's only 21 but you would never guess it. She's just really mature, way more mature than me! So she said that most of her single friends are back in michigan where she's from. So she doesn't have many single friends in the city, and i said," well neither do i, so let's fast-track this friendship Whitney!" She's just nice and laid back and she teaches pilates. Christina, whitney and i decided we are going to start running together. I think it will be nice. I need to excercise. It's nice having witnesses in the same building or just in the next building.

So i am having a movie night party at my house. So i am inviting Christina,Ian,Whitney and some other single girls. I think it will be fun. We are going to have snacks and maybe play some games.

Everyone in the building is nice. A lot of them have said you must be new to the building, everyone introduces themselves and it's just like a little community.I love my neighborhood. This transition has been so easy... too easy! Something bad is going to happen, i can feel it. This is too good to be true. I probably will choke on a banana tomorrow and die or get hit by a car.

What a great day!

So today i got up for early morning service. It was raining so whitney and i went over to christina's house and wrote letters. Then we met the group. Christina had territory near the house so we worked that.It was so nice. I didn't place any literature but it was just nice to talk to people and be outside. The sun was shining and it was just perfect. So we finished up the territory and then we went to this cafe for lunch called, "Little Purity" It's just this small nice little cafe. There is this guy that works there that is so cute, he looks like he could be a model but he is probably gay. But everyone that works there is really friendly. I ordered some tea and then spilled the entire thing and they were like that's ok and made another one for me.

After that, we went to the park and just walked around and placed magazines, it was so nice.I think after service tomorrow i am going to the park to hang out and read a book. Later Christina and i headed to Ikea i bought some picture frames and pillows and a throw and shelves. I am trying to whip this room into shape.

Round 2

So the same day that i had my job interview i get a call from the recruiter asking me to come in next thursday for a working interview. So this thursday i am working nine hours. I hope it goes ok, i could use a job. Next week i think i might call a temp agency and try to work another day during the week. I wouldn't mind taking one afternoon and working somewhere other than a dental office.Where, i don't know but it would be nice to do something fun.

So this morning I had my first job interview. It was in Brooklyn heights. The office is in a brownstone and it is a really small working space.so I was expecting to interview with the dentist but instead it was a recruiter. She just asked a bunch of questions and I think I have decent answers. When she talked about what the dentist was looking for, a lot of it was what I had mentioned. So I felt good about it, so the next step is interviewing with the dentist. So I hope I get a phone call.
