Friday the 13th?! Eh. After this week, no biggie....

No big developments today, except maybe that it's my brothers 38th birthday.  Our family,  Leo (my brother), his girlfriend, my mom and I just went to Fun Buffet on Rt 440 like we always do on birthdays in our family.  It's become our thing to go there.  It's cheap, and it's a lot of food.  I couldn't help but notice one person missing out of the picture of course.  My "ex" would come out and join us too. Oh well...  The reason I couldn't help but notice my ex wasn't there was because the way my brother and his girl kept carrying on.  I mean, fine, I didn't bring her up in conversation, but Jeez,  I just broke up with her!  Tone it down a bit!  I didn't say anything to them 'cause obviously, they weren't doing anything on purpose to spite me.  I just thought it was a little insensitive. ( listen to me talk about being insensitive, "Mr. No Filter" over here.)

Anyway...

 I just walked around Downtown JC and handed out my resume, after lunch.  I gotta say... I hate doing this!  Then again, I guess you gotta be some kind masochist to enjoy this process.  I had one interview in a place in Hoboken where they held an open call for staff.  He interviewed me fully but at the end he mentioned that he already had 4 guy bartenders; in other words he was looking for women.  I swear to God, one of these days I'm gonna put on a padded bra, some lipstick, heels and a wig and go into one of these interview get all "Tootsie" on'em.  Whatever.

Something nice did happen while I was interviewing.  I called the place where I was just fired and spoke to the bartender.  The bartender said that it was nuts what happened to me.  In fact, the bartender said that just today a person came up to the bar and asked for two bottles of water and when the bartender told the customer, "$6.00 please," the customer said, "no thanks." and walked out of the restaurant!!!!  How's that for irony.  The bartender had some kind words for me too, saying that I was one of the backbones of the restaurant.  Nice to hear.

Well.... on that note, I'm goin' over to a friends place and have a drink or 8 or 10.  Hope all is well with you.
