This is my first week of unemployment in around 1.5 years, and I’m keeping pretty busy anyway. Today I interviewed for a front of house position at a local theater of note, got a background check and fingerprints for my school gig, and spent the afternoon with the Husband watching sci if movies and doing laundry. 

The interview went overwhelmingly well, so good that the people interviewing me asked me to apply for a higher paying position with roughly the same hours. YAY! I was flattered and happy, but they haven’t hired me YET, so I’m just going to enjoy the idea that good interviews exist. Oh, and my hair looked amazing. And I wore makeup. Be shocked. 

The background check was done at the department of public safety in the far west side of the city, and the people there at the front door were so damn polite I was sure something had gone wrong. Like aliens landed and took over the building, and they were just trying to get my ass out of there before I got wise to their alien tricks. 

Tomorrow, however, I will be less enthused with the day. We’re going in to the social security office to discuss the overpayment that resulted in losing my benefits and insurance. I will try damn hard to be a polite and civil lady, but I am so nervous/upset about this that I don’t know how well I will do. I’ve had a lot of negative interactions with the SSA lately, and they don’t give any of the fucks. They literally herd and cull people like cattle. I’m not impressed with our government right now. We’re bringing a lawyer, but I’m still scared. 
Wish us luck, loyal reader.
