Today has been a pretty good day. The woman with an employer I’ve
been talking to called me this afternoon for my phone interview. We had a
decent conversation and she said she was going to elevate me to the next step,
which is to interview with two managers, and my interview is set up for next
Friday. Because of the type of job this is it means that I have to show up in a
suit. Now, that would be just fine if I was still a size 12 because I have a
ton of suits in that size. However; I’m about 40 pounds heavier so none of them
fit me currently. Which means I needed to buy one. I hate shopping.
I went to JCPenney because they’ve got a pretty decent sale
going on right now. I, eventually, found a pair of pants, shirt, and jacket. I
hate shopping. I don’t know how many different outfits I tried on. One thing
would fit and the rest of it wouldn’t. The one downside to having lost a
significant amount of weight is that there is a lot of skin that just sags. So
what would look decent on someone else wound up looking like poo on me. I hate
shopping. The shirt I bought is a bright fuschia color. Might not be the best
choice, but by golly, I want a nice pop of color and I’ll wear that shirt with
something else even if the interview doesn’t go as well as I hope it does. I
still hate shopping. Oh, but I did get a cute pair of shoes…cause a suit needs
shoes…and they’re SHOES. I love shoes. I hate shopping though. Shoes…yeah,
shoes are good. Shopping for shoes isn’t shopping…it’s a way of life…lol
I did get a nice little surprise today though. The UPS man
brought me a package that I had to sign for. Not knowing who sent me something,
I came in and opened it up like a kid at Christmas. When I opened the box I
stood there and looked at it in complete and utter shock. It was the jewelry
that I sent to my friend for her wedding that I cannot attend. I sent it out a
week ago and it was supposed to arrive to my friend today. The girl who handled
my transaction had a brain fart or something because she entered it as if my
friend had sent it to ME instead of me sending it to HER. Once I got to talk to
the manager and she figured out what happened, she apologized profusely.
Needless to say, I resent it today and they covered all shipping costs. I just
shook my head. Who does this happen to? Me. Only me.
I still hate shopping.
