Bored

My golly gosh I never thought that being unemployed would be so damn boring. I've usually thrived on unemployment, it's always been the best time of my life. I suppose any other time I'm unemployed Felix is aswel. Now Felix has got a job it's not so fun anymore...

He leaves for work at 7am and gets home at 7pm. I've never been away from him for such a long time every damn day. It's boring! Showtime in Dubai, for your information, is full of repeated 90s TV which is AWESOME for a day.

I've applied for literally every relevant job on Dubizzle and the Gulf News Classifieds. I'm sick to death of writing my name. What shits me the most about applying for jobs is that companies want you to have experience. In answering the fucking phone. I've had at lease 20 years experience in answering the phone. They also want you to have experience in computers. I literally spend 14 hours a day on computers, but that couldn't POSSIBLY count.

If I could get a certificate to say I am the geekiest fuck with computers and that I also know how to pick up a reciever and say "hello" I would prolly get 50 job offers a day.

Fucking Filipinos taking all my jobs.

Interview!

I got an interview! It says visa provided, which is basically the only reason I'm going to work. But the thing is, it's at Lamcys and that's a *long* way away from where I live. Well, the truth is I'm not sure that it's *at* Lamcys. That's just where he wants to meet. I think he was just trying to say a place that's near it that I would know.

He's excited because I'm Australian and I think he'll be even happier when he sees my certificate for participating in the barista of the year comp.

I think I might have to go down to the mall later on and change some money, because I think a taxi to Lamcys is going to cost quite a bit. Which sucks, because I don't think I'll be getting paid very much here and if the taxi ride costs more than an entire days work, then I really can't stay.

I just want the visa so badly! Plus I'm kind of exicted. He said it's only a small cafe, they're only starting out. Which in my mind means I'll have a bit of freedom, maybe a managment role in the future. That'd look freakin' awesome on my CV.

I'm seeing him at 5:30. Wish me luck!
