What is my life?

What is today?

I AM HEAD OF VOLUNTEER COORDINATION AND FIELD MANAGEMENT.

…I’m going to die.

Today was All-Important Interview Day.  I wasn’t really sure what to wear, considering it was more like a volunteer/interview sesh, so I thought I could get away with black jeans, but eventually I decided to be overdressed instead of underdressed and changed into dress pants… in an Arby’s bathroom.  This is after I texted Erin to ask if I could change at her apartment (which was on the way), and apparently this wasn’t weird to Erin (thank God), but alas, she was not home.

So I rolled into the interview and there was one guy there and he was NOT the guy I was supposed to see.  I explained and he was like, “Oh… umm, he’s in New York until like, next week…” I was immediately shocked and found the e-mail on my phone and read it to him and he was like, “Clearly this isn’t your fault and it’s his mistake, you can stay and help me do research!”

I stayed.  And researched.  And the other guy who was supposed to know about my interview came in and was like, “Oh yeah, his bad, he’ll be here next week to sit down with you…” and I was like, “This is all kind of ridiculous,” but the candidate himself was like, “He needs to interview this girl…” so I’m a little conflicted.

Like… part of me feels a little jerked around, and I don’t know if it’s just because of the obvious miscommunication that went down today or what, but it makes me a little concerned.  But if it’s looking like I could potentially get hired, then I feel like I should stay with it.  This has a lot of potential, and it could be a really excellent start for me.

I should have known today was going to be weird when I heard Celine Dion in that Arby’s bathroom while I changed.  How ominous.

I WANT TO HAVE A GIANT PARTY OR MAYBE CRY I CAN’T REALLY DECIDE WHICH RIGHT NOW BUT OMG.

Between the clip of Constance being appallingly bitchy (BE NICE TO HIM, DAMN IT) and the burn photos, I’m about twelve levels of verklempt now.

Although it’s good to see Larry’s sassy green cardigan is making a comeback.

I’m not even a huge fan of the Flaming Lips but ho. lee. shit.

I cannot wait.  Please tour together right this instant.  I can picture it now:  slightly creepy/weird old dudes who wear fly-ass suits and totally rock out.  Mm.  Yes.

(I might be behind the curve on this a little because I was definitely thinking today about how I’ve been neglecting my love for Nick Cave and need to see if anything special is happening with the Bad Seeds/Grinderman and then THIS news was delivered to me.  Perf.)
