mark your calendars
I am ready for something EARLY. Like, SIGNIFICANTLY early! I don't have to leave for my interview for an hour and I am showered, dressed, blow-dried, etc. Holy crap! Ok, so I still have to put makeup on and eat something but seriously! Usually I am at this stage in the preparation five minutes before I have to go somewhere, not a full hour!!
I deserve no credit for this. I have only my digestive track to blame, as I woke up an hour early (and by "an hour early" I mean "right when my alarm was set to go off" -- I traditionally hit the snooze bar five to six times before I get out of bed) with a terrible stomachache and couldn't go back to sleep. And so here I am! Kind of ready!
Also: I think I have to buy a flatiron because my hair is getting too long to straighten without one. I just have too much! I do it the way you're supposed to! I have a big round brush! I have a hair dryer! I have a clippy to hold my hair up so that I can dry it in pieces! And yet still I have mostly straight hair with occasional wave regions that I cannot destroy. It's kind of annoying.
Why am I getting all gussied up on a mere Thursday? Because as you all know, Jess Hair Straightening typically Means Something because it takes, oh, forever to do and is hot and uncomfortable and annoying, and so I only go through with it if I'm particularly bored or if I have Someplace To Be. It is the latter today: I have a job interview! A temp to perm thing at a real estate development company. It's kind of annoying because my temp agency had told me that there was nothing out there, really, and that it would take a while to place me and so I'd made all these mental plans to chill out and go visit friends and take trips and stuff and now I have to go on an interview! Am mildly nervous. Am doing my best to block the mild nerves out so, hopefully, they can attack me full-force mere minutes before the interview instead of dealing with them now. I hate being nervous. It's one of the main reasons my life goal is to be calm, cool, collected, sophisticated -- such people don't get nervous.
I am going on this interview because my last assignment finished up last Friday. No more Skeevy Law Firm! I do not miss it. But! But but! Mr. Boss! Mr. Boss wrote me a reference letter! Without my asking! In it, he blatantly lied and talked up how punctual I am (yeah right! I was eight minutes late every day, like, the last ten weeks of my assignment). I think my parents are kind of annoyed with him because now whenever they give me a hard time, I start quoting the letter all "Yeah, so I didn't empty the dishwasher exactly when I said I would! I have a pleasant and charming demeanor, dammit!"
Anyway! I better go eat something and throw some makeup on or all of my being-ready-earlyness will waste away! Am off!

I know I've already, you know, seen you in person since you wrote this, but I'm trying to up my karma points by being better about answering comments. :)

You have just described my dream job. Which I'm sure you knew when you typed that, but still, it bears saying.
JAAAAAYYYCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Sorry. Just had to, you know, get that out of my system.

Also? I love that icon! It's so pretty. I know I say this about all your icons, but I can't help it! They're always so cool. I think you should put a timer up and see how long it is between you putting a new icon into rotation and me randomly commenting somewhere about how much I enjoy them. Because they are always so cool!

I have a Mal one I'm gonna break out in a little while, so maybe I'll time you then. ;)
