The Peanut Chronicles

Really pissy day

I had an interview today. I had rescheduled it from last week because 1) I couldn’t find a babysitter and 2) make up or not, I have a black eye and the excuse was L-A-M-E!! So today I drove all the way into Metropolis to have the interview.

I left the Nutter with Able Johnson, of the Johnson Family who is currently looking to buy out Bear. He’s really a great kid. (19 years… he’s a kid. And if he looks at my cleavage one more time I am going to call him on it.) Nut wasn’t really kosher with me leaving but I had to.

The interview was OK I guess. They liked that I started up a program for the schools in Outskirts a few years ago. They liked that I had the experiences at the Senior Center that I had. They loved the fact that I liked computers and know how to use certain programs.

BUT…

I don’t speak Spanish. Or Chinese. They were bummed about that. However, it was mentioned that they are trying to start a new program and would I be interested in the admin part of it. Oh hell yeah. I am not really sure what they thought. My guess is they will find someone who is more qualified and, oh I don’t know, speaks Spanish or Chinese to take the position. But I asked them to keep my resume for their new program. They asked if I would be more interested in that. I said I was interested in anything at this point, but I am trying not to seem desperate. Downside is the commute to Metropolis is even further then the Center!! I would have to leave here at 630 every morning for my 9 o’clock starting time. Sigh…

I picked up Nut form the Johnson house on my home and brought him to Mama C for his next babysitting stint. He was pissed!!! When I was leaving he started to cry. I stalled for so long on leaving because I just didn’t want to leave him again. I wanted to stay and just hold him forever. But Bear and I had class.

Which leads me to rant number 2: stupid, skanky, Paris Hilton wanna be teenyboppers. Bear is taking a class with me for sign language. I already sign; he wants to know what the fuck I am saying about his family. (Nothing! Batting my eyes innocently). The teacher is a deaf man.

Let me clear a few stereotypes up for folks: being deaf doesn’t mean that you hear nothing. In our teacher’s case, he can hear things, such as the phone ring for example, but he can’t understand words. He is a nice enough guy really. He thinks I am hilarious. Must be my charm. That, and the fact that I am the only one in the class that can understand him the first time. But I digress…

There are these two skanky girls in the back of the class. Think Paris Hilton skank and that’s what you got. They must be about 17 or so and my god, the things they wear. (OK, at one point I used to dress like that as well but I had a rather interesting profession at the time… and it wasn’t hooking!!!) They are talking and making fun of the teacher’s way of talking and since we are not supposed to talk in class, EVERYONE could hear them. EVERYONE. Eventually I turned to Bear and said (What I hope was under my breathe but not having great hearing could have been louder then I intended) “I am going to shoot those two skanks.” Bear signed to me “want my AK?” Awwww… he’s using sign language!!

Eventually, they bugged me so much I turned around and shot them a look. Unlike other people's dirty looks, this one was deserved. (and by that I mean they WERE being loud and rude when it wasn't appropreate) They saw it and shut up right away. Oh god, I am such a mom.

And if Nut ever brings home girls like that he’s in BIG trouble!! If I ever have a daughter, no way will she dress like that!

I came home and got the news I have been waiting and waiting for: the answer is no. The cool job I really wanted is a no go. How fucked.

Mama C still has Nut so Bear and I are eating alone. It’s nice but today was the first day where I barely saw my son. I just want to hold him until I die.
