onlyemma's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Places to go, people to see, application forms to fill, iced buns to buy The last few days have been eventful. You'll never guess what...I've been out of the house! Yep, that's right, I emerged pasty white and squinting into the daylight, and went to Kirsty's house. For two days. And I believe we didn't once venture outside (which I find quite ironic). Much fun was had though; baking about a trillion cookies, and reading our old diary entries out in annoying voices so we all felt utterly ashamed of our 14-16 year old selves (could our excessive use of exclamation marks, smiley faces and "haha!"s be any more annoying?). We also talked a considerable amount about farting and our various excuses in order to race outdoors, ("is it warm outside? I think I'll go check..."). Ahh...those were a good two days. On Wednesday I went into Ripley and went to the dentists. Nothing to say about that. Yesterday I went to Ripley again, this time I got an application form for Sainsbury's (my job hunt continues), and today my mum took me into Alfreton to get an application form from Wilko's, where I made friends with the girl at the help desk and so my application is a collaboration with her. When I came out I saw a sign for a new sales assistant in Greggs. "Oooh, I could do that!" I thought, so I decided to go in. However, unfortunately my fear of attractive strangers got the better of me, and though I hoped not to be served by him so I wouldn't chicken out and look stupid, I was and I did. And instead of asking for an application form I pointed to the nearest thing to me, and came out with a 27p iced bun. Idiot. My mum dropped me off at my Nanna's on the way back. She got me cleaning her skirting board with a wet cloth, which I think made no difference whatsoever. But as long as she's happy...and I didn't get called lazy once today. Major achievement. I even fixed the drippy hose pipe, which made me feel good and butch. Always a good feeling :-S To be honest, I'm quite pleased with my helpfulness and lack of sitting around being lazy, and eating twice my body weight in food *pats self on back*. Depressing thought of the day: McDonalds doesn't want to employ me. Seriously! I can't even get a job at McDonalds. That doesn't boost my confidence at all. I phoned them up to see if my application form had been looked at and I talked to the manager. Talk about rubbish people skills. My every sentence was interrupted by "who are you? Who are you?". I hadn't even finished explaining why I'd phoned. I finally told him my name, after my well rehearsed explanation, and he said with disgust (funny how much people talk to me with disgust), "you're not looking for summer work are you?", "err...yeah", "We're not taking on temporary staff we need permanent staff. Bye". And he hung up on me. Talk about rude! Humph. I'd spit on his burger. 2:56 p.m. - 2003-07-11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
