I did not get nude at this event! I worked it. Meaning I was running around prepping/cooking/serving food all day. The people that attended payed around $800 to attend the weekend retreat. I made enough money to cover rent for this next month so I'm happy to continue my steady job hunt at this point.
My sister asked me how it was working with my aunt. I decline to say what I really think, because I am too busy being appreciative at the fact that my aunt payed me to work. Suffice it to say that she is a total noob in a field I am a crazy pro. I felt very American negotiating the hourly wage for the weekend with a family member. Made me feel a little dirty. But I needed work and she got me some!
On a completely unrelated note (it is, I swear!) I've decided to practice being a little more conscientious of the words that come out of my mouth. Since being back in SD I'm frightfully shocked at how arrogant and pushy/bossy some members of my dad's side of the family are. Tact seems to be something they all prefer to throw out the window...They seem to prefer intimidation tactics instead, especially with loved ones and relatives. They're all just so damn loud!
But I've been schooled on enough intimidation tactics in the bay area to know when people are serious, and when they are just loud, annoying, obnoxious motherfuckers. So to be honest, I'm not phased at all. It seems like a huge waste of time to me.
In addition to all of this, I must say I have a job interview on Wednesday afternoon for a community outreach position and I'm excited about it! I was referred to it by an older cousin of mine. She's working hard to help me get it. I hope I do. If I do, I will probably only be interested in doing maybe 1 or 2 bartending shifts a week. It will be a definite life change of pace! But the way the bar job search has been going, it would be stupid of me to let this outreach job opportunity pass me up.
Brava Sami ♥
