one.one. {11}

I just realized that within the next fourteen days I will be going to TWO amazing concerts. I have tickets to Goo Goo Dolls on the 14th and Maroon 5 on the 19th. Seems like August is going to be an eventful month.

Julie and Dennis keep reminding me that we're going CAMPING. Camping. Me. LOL. This is going to be quite an adventure. We're going to spend a day down at the Jersey Shore and my mommy told me I can bring a guido home with me as long as I promise to take care of it. I'm kind of excited. We're also going to Six Flags and this has me bouncing off the walls! I love vacations.

I applied for a Director position here at FIU, I didn't think I had any chance whatsoever based on what they wanted. Surprisingly, I passed the initial screening and my application is under review by the hiring committee. It's in the College of Arts and Sciences, so it would be weird to be working with the people I was a student under for all those years. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I actually get a call for an interview. Jack's last day in our office is officially August 19th, so I'm going to be the only one here for a while. I think Boss Lady will kill me if I leave at the same time he does. Although she knows that I am underpaid for what I do and know. It really isn't fair; FIU promotes and hires as it sees fit, not based on knowledge or effort. Red tape. Ugh.

I'm still pretty upset about the behavior place lowering my pay rate. If I start making decent money from the passion parties, I think I'll leave there and get my hours elsewhere. There's plenty of time to make those decisions though.

I want to go out and do something fun tonight. I also want to check out Miami Spice, but none of the restaurant menus seemed appealing to me. I feel like the offerings last year were better than this year. Maybe I'm just more picky. I think we're probably going to settle on Mortons or Shula's for dinner tomorrow.

I never know how to end these rambles...
