What a busy Monday

I don’t remember ever having a day so full of activities like the one I had yesterday – which reminds me that I definitely should get some hobbies or go back to school to feel my much to extra time so my life would have some sort of meaning…

But, of course, I need money for that, meaning I need to get a job, a well-paid job, before looking out for hobbies.

So, about yesterday:

My day started around 7 oclock in the morning when I woke up early so I could drive mom to work and have the car for the whole day. When I got back home, I went straight to the shower, got dressed and for the first time ever (!!!!) I put on some makeup on my face – I’ve definitely picked the time to start wearing makeup since it was the first day of Purim when almost everyone wears makeup. I’ve brushed my teeth before putting on lipstick and was overall satisfied with the outcome – except with the Mascara which I think I put too much which caused my eyelashes hairs got glued together, totally annoying.

My first station – or 2nd since driving mom was the first… oh, who cares – After I was ready to go, I took off to the job interview at the import office in Hertzeliyah. Of course that with my luck I’ve missed a exit at the road 2 highway and had to drive till I got to a turn on which I could U-turn and go back – which, obviously, caused me to be five minutes late but I did call when I realized I’ve missed the exit to let the office know I’ll be late, so it was OK.

I got to the office and woman to whom I talked on the phone recieved me and started telling me about the office and the job and the zillion of responsibilities that goes with it. I got totally stoked about it, because I am looking for an interesting challenging job and I completely know I’m up for it. After that, we’ve switched seats and she let me sit infront of the computer and she gave me a small test in English – since the whole work in the office is in English – and dictated me a few lines in English and after that a few lines in Hebrew which I was supposed to translate in English and I did it flawlessly. After that she led me to the CEO office where I met the CEO and talked with him a bit and I told him that all the talk about the many responsibilities only got me more excited to work with them instead of scaring me away.

I can totally see myself working there and doing beautifully, don’t even have the slightest doubt in my mind.

He said he’ll give me an answer by the end of this week. so, we’ll see.

When I was heading back to the car, I called the office from which I got fired and asked if the salary is ready since I’m already in the area. The CEO answered and said I can come and pick it up from the accountant. So I did. I went straight to her and took the envelope with my pay-check.

I got back to the car and went home and had almost two hours to rest before I had to go out again. This time to the doctor for a checkup – I’m fine, don’t worry.

I got home again, changed clothes and went out again to TLV for the catering gig I got through a friend and I was soooooo happy to see a familiar face from my previous catering job (Saar, it was awesome to see you there!!!) so I didn’t feel like a total stranger, you know what I mean? Anyway, it was a business event and since it’s Purim everyone wore costumes, and some were very creative. I got one of the buffets where I stood and served chicken noodles and veggi noodles for almost two hours. After the buffets were closed I joined everybody who ran everywhere clearing empty and dirty dishes from the tables and then I was given a huge tray with almond and berrys pastrys and gave them around.

During the event there was a performance of an acrobat on velvet rope, which was awesome – and the main event of the evening, the performance of the one and only diva -> Dana International! when she was presented by the host, I thought at the beginning that they’ll bring a mimic artist, but that was the real person and she looks amazing up close and personal and she got everyone on their feet dancing and singing her hits.

It was over around 1:30 in the morning and we had to clean and close the kitchen which took us about an hour. When we finally were told to take off the uniforms, I went straight to the bathroom to change and one the way I saw another familiar face! Yaniv Swissa from Y CIRCUS who I met at the previous catering job. He recognized me immediately and we were so happy to see eachother. I told him about the past three months and the fact that I lost the job and got back to catering temporarly until I could find a decent steadier job and even asked him if he’s looking to hire, but he said that he’s not hiring any new people but wished me the best of luck. I’ve congratulated him again for his marriage (already did through FACEBOOK) and said goodbye and hurried to the restrooms to change and when I got out, I saw that all the waiters were already gone which kinda sucked cause now I had to walk by myself to the parking lot.

But I’m a big girl. I took my stuff and walked quickly to the parking lot, got into the car and drove home – got there around 3am and went to sleep about forty minutes later – hey, I had to wash off the makeup I was wearing. I didn’t do a good job with the mascara because later on that morning when I woke up and went to the bathroom, I’ve found two dark circles around my eyes.

Mom helped me to take it all off. She and my sister were very happy to hear that I finally wore makeup.
