God Fucking Dammit

Okay. So, the woman from the temp agency told me to call her today so she can try to get me work. Then, someone from another agency called to see if she could send my resume to another company, which is steady work until August, receptionist/office work, $10/ hour. Now, the lady from the first agency is trying to find me a higher paying job, but I *don't* turn down work (except for today, which was a good move as you'll see in a second), but my question is, do I still call the first agency today? I'm thinking I probably do, because I haven't gotten the first temp job and I might be able to get something higher paying, right?

Secondly, I took my car in for a long overdue oil change. Like, over a thousand miles overdue. *blushes* And, guess what? I need brakes. And, yes, I really do, because these are the mechanics that once fixed my mom's car by stuffing a rag in something and telling her it'll hold for six months. So, I trust that I need brakes, but it still sucks. I just hope they get it done soon, because I have an ortho appointment at 4. And I have to pick my sister up from school because I lent her a costume for the school play, and the little darlin' keeps forgetting to pick it up and bring it back. Freak.

I also finished both books I bought yesterday. I didn't mean to. I mean, Stepford Wives was an easy read, but The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time was just addictive. Couldn't put it down.

Okay. So, remember all that angsting I've been doing about not finding a teaching job? Things are getting better. I've got another interview scheduled. This one is for this Thursday in a school district south of here. Not quite San Diego, but it's not in my immediate comfort zone, which is good It doesn't pay as much as the one on Monday will pay, but I still need to interview, right?

As if I won't be nervous enough, though, this one is on a military base. So I've got to go through Marines before I face the principal. To compensate, they're giving me the questions early (well, not compensate, but they are), but I don't know if that's a good thing. I'm really good at speaking off the cuff and saying really brilliant things that I hadn't really thought of before. That's why I'm so good at interviews despite being shy. I'm a little nervous about knowing the questions, but I'm sure I'll be fine.

So, *so* nervous, and now I'm all frustrated about this temp thing. I didn't realize everyone would start calling for interviews now. *grr*

ETA: Being out of my comfort zone is a good thing. Ideally, I'd like to move somewhere where I haven't seen everything since birth. Since the school I'm interveing for new week is close enough, I probably won't be moving very far away from home. However, if I get the job on the military base, I'll have to move to an entirely new area, which is a good thing.
