stitching the wings on butterflies

Plan for tomorrow is to try to get to the DMV and renew my learner's permit. Then a job interview (OMG help), and then shopping for underwear and possibly some nicer shirts. I've got maybe four shirts that are nice and can be worn in polite company, and even if I don't get this job, I'm going to need more than that. We'll see what happens.

Tuesday, I'm going to be meeting up with despiojarse12, and possibly allandaros and kashmir_ki_kali, for tea. I haven't seen despiojarse12 since last summer, when he and another friend met me near our old high school while I was taking driver's ed. I miss seeing that crew every day, I really do.

Since I finished my Trek: OS rewatch, I've now started a TNG rewatch. As much as OS amused me, TNG is still my first love. I was literally raised on it: it started the year I was born, and I grew up watching a blend of TNG and Sesame Street. It definitely explains why I'm warped.

Also, I'm almost done already with the cross stitch I'm making for Mum's birthday next month. Once it's done, I'm going to have pictures of the process, and I think I'll even be able to convince one of the boys to take pictures while I wash and frame it. It's very pretty. :D

And now, to bed.

I HAVE A JOB!!!

Interview was today, and it was pretty much to straighten out details, rather than actually interview me. It's very exciting. Basically, I'm going to be code monkey-ing for a law firm and updating and futzing with their website. We're still working out the details, but I might actually be able to work from home, rather than commute the hour plus it would take me to get there. Should have more details soon.

Also, I renewed my learner's permit. Now I get to go driving every weekend so I can just finish the damned hours and be done with it.

And then I went shopping, wherein I picked up a few nice shirts and a blazer. I also failed to succeed at underwear shopping, but that's complicated.

Ridiculous, ridiculous Monday kind of day, though. Examples:

Got to the DMV early this morning, only to find out once they opened that the paperwork I needed was different from what was listed on the website. Went home, got other paperwork, came back.

Got my number and sat down, and then the computer system for the entire State went down. It was down for about three hours. Dad and I almost had to bail so I'd make it to my interview on time, but just as we decided to give it half an hour more, the system came back up and they called my number.

Told my interviewer to recognize me by the clothing I was wearing. Ten minutes after I sat down, a woman came in who was wear exactly the same color shirt. I kind of wanted to cry.

Apparently wireless bras are in right now, because I had a bitch of a time finding a wired, lined, non-pushup bra at Macy's. Finally did, and the cups were so bizarrely shaped I didn't understand who they were supposed to fit. Went to Victoria's Secret to try on something I'd seen in the catalogue...and was informed that they don't carry 32D bras in the store. Tried on the 32C, and it was good but I was still falling out of it. Went home and ordered some online, but it was still infinitely frustrating.

And then there was a 15 minute wait at the restaurant Dad and I were going to go to, but the place was empty.

I think I'm going to go collapse now.
