Rainy Sunday.

I've up and done something to internet explorer. I haven't been able to log into blogger for days now. I guess this can be shelved as a 'check, check, one, two three...is this thing working' post. I apologize in advance for the randomness.

I know blogger was updating it's server a few days ago, but something has happened between Tuesday and now. I couldn't login at first. And then when that failed, I was unable to access the website altogether. I was having quite the panic attack about this.

I thought I lost all of my entries from the get go. I accessed the site from my phone and it suggested that I try using another internet browser because I probably messed up cookie feature.So for now, i'll have to use Safari in order to access my blog, at least until I can figure out what the hell I did on internet explorer.

Anyway,

I requested today off a couple of weeks ago because I had plans with my aunt and cousin to attend an art fair in Sleepy Hollow. But we are a family full of flakes, and she didn't call this week to set up a time to be at her house and I was to lazy to call and ask her if our plans were still on. Plus, I kind of just wanted a weekend to myself again.

I'm a selfish, selfish girl and quite possibly the only 25 year old who likes not having anything to do on the weekend.

With summer just around the corner, I am making half-hearted attempts to a) curb my terrible eating habits (um, eating anything in my sights that looks like a cookie) and prepare myself for a summer of activity and job hunting.

I actually spent some time today applying to another literary agency gig in the city. It's a pretty small company (3 agents and the owner) but I feel oddly confident about getting an interview. I am weeks away from having to face student loan repayments which is causing a damn near heart attack before sleep. I am in the home stretch and have to find something quick.

Le Sad Store is still cutting hours all the while interviewing people to hire for the summer. My attitude has been less than stellar making it even harder to bear dealing with customers and screaming children. The other day, some mom let her kid trail popcorn all around the kids department. She did not clean this mess up when she left and I refused to do so while I was there. So the department smelled of kernel all day.

Outside of my dissatisfaction at work, I think my weird funk, lag, is all but behind me. While I am not excited about hotter weather (I prefer wind and rain) the sun has inspired activity. I am jotting down a reading list for the summer, along with various places I'd like to visit in or around the city. Apparently in Brooklyn there is a rooftop cinema where you can watch classic movies. I will find someone to drag to this. I will.

Plus there are going to be many parks and zoos now available to explore. Having a steady job, with steady income would fund these excursions well. Heather has been damn near perfect in advice, as we are both in the same position. Outside of talking up Harry Potter to such acclaim that I had no choice but to start reading the series, we are job hunting buddies.

And after checking out this agency, I like it a lot. Their website is pretty basic but i've been able to get a sense of the people who work there via facebook (and one of their leading agents is a cute Brit. tee hee). But who knows. I have to apply first, and hope that my qualifications pay off, and hope that I am not scared shitless during the interview like I was last time. I'll worry about all of that when it comes around, I guess.

I think I am going to finish the rest of my Sunday night, finishing up Harry Potter and listening to Beach House. I'm more relieved that blogger works and that I haven't lost this journal. I was starting to get worried after countless attempts to connect to the site.

My anxiety has now been put to rest and I don't have to start writing post from the library again. Last time I attempted that I sat next to a guy clearly looking at porn.
