I decided that I’d had enough of the daycare. It was very draining of my energy but aside from that… I couldn’t handle getting sick with all of their kiddie germs and getting bitten was the last straw. I’m looking for a new job, which, admittedly will take a lot of effort considering my lack of Hebrew. But I’m determined to make it work.
I know my family will be pissed that I quit before finding a new job but I just couldn’t do it. I will try to pinch my pennies and avoid expensive luxuries. Like today for instance. I didn’t have proper internet at my apartment so I decided to go camping. Virtual camping that is… I walked to Aroma in Mamilla and have been sitting for several hours looking for work. I’ve submitted about a dozen resumes, spent hours reading the employment websites, and updated my resume to reflect any changes. All for under 50 Shekels.
It might still seem a bit expensive but considering my much desired Netstick is 350 Shekels plus an additional 130 Shekels a month for the next 3 months… I think it was a more reasonable alternative. Plus I’m getting the opportunity to download the entire third season of Gossip Girl for my off hours amusement. What am I going to do when I’m finished? How will I ever wait for next season?
On a personal note… I went out on a date for coffee yesterday. It was a bust. The guy was nice and all but he was either really shy, or really boring, or both. Either way there were too many awkward silences to count. Toward the end of things (about an hour or two, though it felt more like six) I, rudely I admit, went on my computer and played Farmville just to keep myself entertained.
I really just wanted him to say ‘ok I’m going back home’ and leave. But it didn’t happen. Even though I told him I needed to stay and finish working on my Job search and writing. He asked me to continue the date with a movie, or going back to his house, or joining me for tea at mine… to each I said no thank you. No hint was received. Today he told me what a great time he had yesterday. Was I on the same date? We didn’t have a thing to talk about. I kept trying to provoke a conversation with little tidbits of things he told me or questions about his life, but nothing…
I guess I should have known. He looked like the “shy” type. I don’t do well with those guys. I need someone who can keep up with my charisma without outshining me. I know I can be a lot to take in and it can be difficult to keep up with me but i don’t think I’m asking for a lot. Just a confident (but not too cockey) guy with good hygiene and a little bit of a tough guy façade. Sure there are other preferences but that is a good starting point.
I’m beginning to think that G-d is intending for me to be a beautiful, powerful, permanent bachelorette with (hopefully) an amazing career. That is something I could get behind. AB, international blogger. AB, Assistant to the Prime Minister. AB, Likud Party Leader. Has a bit of a ring to it doesn’t it!
Ok my lovelies… this little birdie needs to go have some chick time. Until the next story breaks!
