Think Again
"You know, you should really cancel that Superbowl gig in Dallas now that you have a real job," my mom said over coffee last night.
Me: A real, temporary job. That pays shit, by the way.
Mommy Dearest: No matter. Cancel Dallas before you lose this one.
Me: I'm not going to lose it, they've already given me permission. Sides, if I commit to something I'm doing it, not cancelling anything.
Take a wild guess as to who's unemployed once again?
Employer (this afternoon right before I was due to go home): So... We've told the job agency that we love you, but now that you're here we realize we really have no need for you. The person you're supposed to be assisting won't be here for a month and we can't afford to pay you in the meantime.
Me: Okay. (smiling with hands folded on lap, wishing I was somewhere sipping pinot noir).
Employer: Are you alright?
Me: This is obviously a trick question.
Oh, universe. You better have some epic adventures bathed in glittery chicken blood planned for me because I'm really becoming immune to your cruel shenanigans. Also, can my next real job that only lasts four days be in a vodka factory? Thanks in advance.
Update: I go to my page to check for typos and this is what I see.

roll with the punches :) go where the wind takes u and now it will be dallas. have fun and enjoy life. remember u have to work till u die usually so enjoy ur time off :)
Awwww! Damn, I'm sorry. That is ridiculous.
I mean, on the plus side, more "you" time.
Down side, you are going to have to really stretch the ramen noodle budget.
Make sure you go out this weekend and have fun. Drown your sorrows! IN VODKA!!!
shake it off girlie, shake it off! i'm sorry this happened to you. it sucks. i should know,i've worked for all of the downtown houston (and surrounding areas)law firms! kidding. sort of. anyway, go to dallas, do your thing, have fun. come back and get back at it. you GOT this chica! something bigger and better will come your way, you'll see! xoxo
I'm actually not upset at all. I've become incredibly easy going (more than usual). Whatever it shall be, will be.
Now where's that bartender!
Well, when you become famous they'll be sorry. But until then...DALLAS!
But if you play the upset card, you might earn some free drinks, man.
Time for margaritas! To drown your...uh...sorrow.
when you get even more famous...please pay me to just lay around your crib and just eat and watch tv to entertain you ;)
Ah, crap! Sorry.
Things will get better!! they always do! and thank GOd you didn't pay attention to your mom! It's just a perfect example of why NOT to do everything they suggest!
AWWW I was so happy for you Annah!! Sorry. Oh well. Come to Auburn and teach a class on how to be FACKIN AMAZING! Everyone I know would love you and that would be like the best class since...blowjobs 101 (which unfortunately they don't teach here but I'm hopeful)
Dag. Sorry.
That really sucks. I hope you stole all the staplers in that damn place.
Dammit! Well, this is the Universe's way of helping you make room for something bigger coming your way. I just know it!
I too am sorry Annah but like they say, keep on keeping on. Do hope you have some party time lined up for this weekend to counteract the negatives from the job thing. We love you girl.
I'm sorry that you lost the job (though temporary and paid shit), Annah. :( I'm glad that you're not upset about it, but I still feel bad. Their loss though. They couldn't handle your rockstardom, and it means there's something better in store for you. Now let's break out that Vodka, and Tequila too, if you don't mind.~♥
Also, the "cua, cua, cua" made me laugh-it's pronounced "coo-AH", in Spanish, yes? It's basically the same in Gaelic, only the stress in on the first syllable COO-ah (assuming I'm correct about the stress in Spanish), and I was thinking if of Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman" and that maybe he was meaning to say "coo-ah" every time he said "hoo-ah" in the movie because he was "lol-ing", and it made me chuckle. XD
Okay, that was long, and kinda dumb, so I will hush now. ^_^;
Honey NO !!!!! -=0(
MOVE UP HERE ALREADY DAMN IT !!!!!
what bastards.
I say enjoy Dallas anyways!
Well...at least you have Dallas!
I feel your pain..I got the 'We're not firing you we just don't need you anymore' too...
Ummm isn't that just frecking like firing me? Durrr
"Wishing" for Pinot Noir?
See, there's your mistake, you should have been balls deep in Pinot at work. I know I am.
So sorry baby. You're in my world now. No income. It truly sucks. Enjoy Dallas and then let's see what happens next in our lives right??
My page once said I had no followers and I almost shit a brick....until they magically came back the next day when I felt loved and adored all over again.
Oh, my blog said I had no followers, too, this morning. I didn't freak out, though, because I *don't* have any followers . . . well, two. That'll admit to it, anyways.
Vodka fixes everything.
You and me both honey. At least you are in a state where hypothermia isn't a real concern because we all know you can't die when it's 50. Today in my world it is a balmy 7 degrees outside (4 days above 0--it's a fucking heat wave) and my house is currently at 58. The heater wants to heat more but it just can't do it. So it's kind of like I'm homeless already with being cold-- I just have a fancier box.
ugh! such a bummer! (also, the dashboard has been weird for me today, too)
Well, that pretty well fucking sucks. Hope the universe gets its shit together for you soon.
Take some consolation in the fact that your idiot employer PAID the employment agency to find you, only to discover that they didn't really have a need for you. Talk about a waste of their time and money. Bwahahaha.
Oh stupid, temporary jobs.
You'll find a much better one. Promise.
Well that's plain dumb and they should not have put the word out that they needed someone. What if like you were banking on this job to like help with something really important. I hate when people dick you around for no good reason.. Oh well at least you didn't listen to your mom about canceling Dallas. Go out and get crazy this weekend!
So, I assume you're going to Dallas to be a dancer? There is supposedly a severe shortage, and they're offering big bucks...

If so, please tell me where you'll be employed.
sorry tohear that
'the person you're assisting won't be here for a month'??? way to plan ahead, stupid lame temporary job.
get a cold drink, annah, and enjoy the weekend.
Craigslist has a 'jobs wanted' section wherein people describe what they want to do and wait to see if anybody wants to pay them to do it.
You should post an ad like that here on WRMG. Something you'd enjoy the fuck out of, are experience in, and are legendarilly awesome at:
PARTYING
I don't mean 'party planner', I mean 'Bachelor/bachelorette party planner'! Who on God's green earth, I ask you, could do that better than you?
Who doesn't notice that they don't need a new employee before contacting an employment agency and asking for one? Sounds like if you had dug into someone's desk drawer a little deeper you could have had some pinot without leaving the building.
Sorry, woman.
Well isn't that craptastic?
Sorry to hear it Annah. With you wit,looks, writing skills and personality, it's only a matter of time before you land the perfect job that brings you the "famosity" you deserve. On the bright side, more time for blogging...yay
I'm sure you'll find your perfect job soon...meanwhile, time for Vodka...
That's total balls. Are they even allowed to give you a job and then say, umm, there's no job anymore? I mean, really, what a cock up!
Chin up girly...and if I hear of any gigs in vodka factories, I'll give them your name! Although, being in Australia, it's more likely to be a beer or bundy rum factory...
Blech. Job hunting blows.
On the other hand, now there's more time for drunken blogging! Pop a bottle, bitches!
Screw it! You are going to make millions in your life. Jump forward with your mind and look at yourself in ten years. Then come back and tell yourself, "It's going to be all right."
Hey...I'm still unemployed, so I don't want to hear it. Well, actually, as of Tuesday I will be selling Avon. But if that goes as stellar as my last attempt to sell shit, I'm still fucked. Haha. As my mother tells me, "you're not pushy." *sigh* Oh well...wanna buy some Avon?
Do not fret young one. Your famousity is just around the corner.
I can't believe you just cua, cua, cua'd. I think I'm in love with you. <3
Lor
Everything happens for a reason ... At least that much I do know. We'll see where the madness machines leads to.
Roxanne: Girl you know that's how us Latin people do it. Cua cua cua cua cua. Love you back.
<3 <3 <3 cat's are such special little people. i love your poetic take. and that picture.
xo
It was cool to meet you for the 4 days at the J.O.B (Just above Broke)
