Post Bus Debacle

I hope I am not self sabotaging. Yesterday I had an interview, that I am pretty sure I blew because I was late. Not like 5-10 minutes, but an hour. I wasn't nervous about the interview, I was nervous about getting there. My instinct was to just take a cab. Lesson 843 on how I should trust my instincts.

Instead of reliving the whole ordeal, I will instead try to stay positive and list the things I learned.
1. Public transportation isn't as tricky as I believe it is.
2. If you get off at the wrong bus stop the smartest thing to do is stay at that bus stop and wait for another bus, not to try to walk to where the transfer stop was.
3. Trust instincts.
4. That interview and that job were not the only interview and only job in San Francisco.
5. Talk to the bus drivers, they are there to help you.

I allowed myself to mope last night and this morning and then got right back at it applying for jobs. I have an interview tomorrow and a hopeful promo this weekend and next week. Cross your fingers, I need that promo.

So, the job hunt is going, the apartment hunt is going.

On a happier note, Jami and I ventured out Tuesday night to Open Mic night at this awesome bar, Amnesia. It is a dark, sexy place. With a great bar that had a $3 micro brew special until 8 or 9, can't remember. Definitely crowded, standing room, but worth it. I laughed until I cried. I expect to go back next Tuesday as well.

Soon I'm going to start making dinner, some sort of kale, chard, bean, rice scramble. Hippie mash strikes again! I've been cooking almost every night and have been loving it.

I think the Joshua Tree weekend is off, its supposed to rain in the park and camping in the rain isn't exactly fun. I am still tempted to go down for Thanksgiving to Palm Springs, but if I get that Promo then I'll be working that entire week. I hope I get that Promo, it sounds awesome.
