The Workin' Life

Today, I started part-time working in the dance office. There is no such thing as spending too much time in that building for me! This job opportunity, although temporary, was just the thing to boost my spirits admist all the rejection e-mails.

Right now, I'm taking a break from applying for jobs. The thing that gets me is that...I'm qualified for all of them! The job market is just way tough out here, but I'm ready to give it the 'ole one two (I just got the image of Russell Crowe in "Cinderella Man" stuck in my head).

Ah--I have more tales of urban living for you. I was trying to reward my day of work today by making a tuna melt for a late lunch. By the way, the trick to a good tuna melt: balsamic vinegar. Anyways, I go to open the pre-heated oven, and our fire alarm goes off. This is hilarious because our apartment is already 115 degrees without the oven on. Any suggestions about solving this? I can't live without an oven for three months--I've got to make some banana nut bread sometime...

That was a great break--back to job searching. Cheers.
