Driving in Seattle is the Worst F*%#@!!!** idea Since Parallel Parking...... AND a pleasant update on the Job Hunt

Let me get this out:

WHY does it need to take me 20 MINUTES to drive 6 BLOCKS??? Also these situations make people SO DAMN PISSY! No, blonde chick, it is NOT my fault that I have NO ROOM to turn around and reposition my car so I DON'T hit for super shiny "status" mobile!! I'm sorry, why don't you use your massive boob job to honk the horn so you don't even have to take your hands off the wheel. It would be safer for all of us, really. Oh, and by the way- that shade of lipstick looks awful on you.

WHY OH WHY do we do this to ourselves? Statistics show that Americans have some of the highest stress of world citizens (as well as obesity, sleep disorders, ect.... but this isn't THAT kind of rant, I swear) and it seems that this whole traffic uselessness just ADDS to these numbers.

SEATTLE- you have the worst traffic I've ever driven in. Yes, I've traveled to Europe and 'witnessed' bad drivers/traffic, and even NYC has its 'nasty spots' in the city, but you, Seattle, the 405 makes Les Champs Elysées in Paris look like a f*%$#@*!! hot wheels track (in a good, organized, fun wholesome way). And don't even get me started on the 520 bridge... because it sucks.

END RANT.


JOB UPDATE:

I am happily employed...X2!!! I have a snappy, chic fun creative position as a "Customer Service Associate" at Paper Source- your one stop shop for pretty much ANYTHING creative involving paper products or stamps. I am blissfully employed there. I am fortunate to have found such an incredible employer that provides the means for me to be creative as I work.

My luck only continued to get better the following week when I had an "experiential" interview at BCBGMAXAZRIA (I basically 'pretended' or acted as if I were a sales associate and conducted myself accordingly- making sales, helping customers, ect). After the interview, the manager surprised me with a job offer. I took it instantly. I now have such an amazing balance of creative and fashion work between my two jobs- AND I GET TO DRESS UP FOR BOTH OF THEM!

Anthropologie never got back to me... so sad. Perhaps in the future. But for now, I have no reasons to complain and every reason to celebrate the beginnings of my still new life here in Seattle.

MORE TO COME ON THE BALLARD MOVE IN JULY...
