cat and mouse

I really hate waiting and being waited on.  Phone calls, tardiness (others and my own), line ups, and the like.  I think I get it from my dad; he’s always been the one herding us into the car to make sure we get to whatever destination on time, if not five minutes early.

I’m currently waiting for a phone call.  A phone call for employment; therefore, this additional tidbit of information makes the situation even worse; not only am I waiting for a phone call, I am also hoping that this phone call will be a positive conversation.  However, I don’t deal with confrontation and rejection very easily (and am a slight control freak), so a part of me doesn’t want to pick up the phone when she calls.  That way, if it’s a rejection message, I can simply press 7 and it will be deleted and all will be forgotten.  If it is a congratulatory message, I am now the one who is control, and she will be the one sweating and hoping that I call her back in order to accept the position.

lovely and amazing

Playing catch-up with my podcasts is always fun. I don’t know what it is, but I find the voices of both Ira Glass and Bob Boilen to be extremely comforting, almost like friends. Listening to the latest podcast for All Songs Considered, I have discovered a new love, and they go by the name AU. Extremely whimsical yet melodic, you never seem to know where this band is going to take you! I love it. I was walking in the rain and I have to admit, thirty seconds into the song RR vs D and I was hooked. Suddenly the grey skies looked a little apologetic and my face just couldn’t stop smiling. I was in Kerrisdale, so I must’ve looked out of place, to say the least.
Actually, I totally suggest you listen to that entire podcast (titled A Great Unknowns Showcase) because there are quite a few excellent tracks: Port O’Brien, Okay, Amber Rubarth, etc…

Whatever to make this weekend come sooner (have you seen the weather report? 25 degrees? What?)
