shambles of my life....ie.unemployment

SO maybe you really are all wondering, why the efff am I still online, and why do I seem to appear on here ALL the time.

Well the answer my friends is this, inevitably I am about to begin facing the difficulty of employment/housing/money/life decisions back in the good ol' US of A. So naturally, rather than spend the all the time I should job searching and CV updating and all that fun stuff; I usually just get sucked into the black hole of google, staring blankly at the page for 15 minutes before I actually remember what I was supposed to look for, or I wind up on FB looking at my sisters friends cousins boyfriends baby mamas photos...I mean, actually I never creep around on there, right? normal.

So maybe this is just an SOS, from me to you, and let me explain why. If I compiled a list of all the jobs I am seriously considering (have maybe already applied for) you will understand my desperation. This list goes as such:
  • Laundry room attendant
  • Garden and Grounds Keeper
  • Librarian (this was my favorite when I found out a) librarians make BANK and b) you need a masters degree in well, librarian...ism? I know the alphabet, who says that's not good enough?!
  • Merry Maids, yes I actually looked.
  • on a craigslist posting, "work 2 days a week as a mermaid/fairy/princess" um YES, please. how did they know, that's what I was made to be?
  • cafe(teria) attendant, yes my friends.
  • Jewish Egg Donor. I may have that Jewish look, you know my frizzy curls and all, but no I am not, and yes I would still consider it.
  • African American Moms Needed...wait a second, Ok I got carried away.
So, as you can see...this is what my life will resort to in a few short months, as I jump ship and return to the glorious land of opportunities, with that well earned college degree that's come in real handy these days. Not that there is anything wrong with any of these jobs, somebody has to do it right, and my hat is off to the hard working people that do. I guess I just had my hopes set on something more glamorous, but that is well, obviously not going to happen in the midst of the biggest GLOBAL economic recession. Goody.

Not to mention, this morning I woke up in a stupor, probably the result of drinking too much whiskey apple drinks the night before, but also because I came to this realization....I will be SO cheap/broke when I get to the States, that probably none of you will want to hang out with me, and if you do, I will probably have to meet you on the corner, yes around the corner, from the bar you will all be hanging out at, while I brown bag a 2 dollar Tecate, because I can't afford to pay 10 big ones for a decent beer. The aftermath of spending a year in the subcontinent drinking 600 ml shit beer for 100 rupes, or the equivalent size of three bears for $1.20, you have got to be kidding me. Of all the injustices in the world, surely, the skyrocketing cost of beer in the US is one of them, am I right? hah. But oh how I long for a nice cold New Castle, or Blue Moon with a slice of Orange, or Chimay, or even Stella, or Corona, or Pyramid, or Anchor Steam...seriously, I have thought about it a lot. Like, really a lot.

So, needless to say, this SOS is for anyone who actually reads this, and who might just have a garden that needs weeding (like the time in high school when I weeded my friend Jenna's parents garden, and probably made big bucks back in the day!) a baby that needs sitting, a dog that needs walking, a window that needs to be cleaned, etc. You get the picture, I think. I will probably do most anything for some hard earned cash, because as many of you might think my adventures are crazy, I am already scheming up another one. And yes, I am not even back yet.

Thanks for reading my loyal friends, I know who you are....

btw. I am off for my first trek into the wilderness of Nepal tomorrow. yippeee. So if you don't hear another cry for help from me, in T minus 6 days, report to the US embassy of Kathmandu. Could not be more excited to get out of this smoggy smog filled city and romp through the wild for a few, much needed, days!

LOVE to ALL.
