Ducky Does What Ducky Does

Okay, well when I got home today I was in no mood for posting (just getting my hopes for a second job crushed again tends to do that). Anyway, what happened was: I dressed up in a semi-casual fashion, to impress them or whatever, and headed to Cool Springs. When I sat down, the manager said "Why do you want to be a server?" I said, "I need some more money for school next year and I have never waited tables, and I'm sick of working retail and would like a new experience" or something like that. Well, he led me to believe that he was interested in getting my help.

Then he pulled out the classic line, you know, we don't need people just for summer (blah blah blah blah blah). Even though, mind you, in Brentwood the manager said that at Cool Springs they DID need summer help. The manager was very apologetic, and he said that my references "checked-out" and that everything else looked good on the app, but dang it I guess I should have started looking for work earlier in the summer (you were right, Mom).

Other than that, I introduced my parents to the goodness of Christopher Guest tonight. Me and my sisters and Adam (Mauldin) and my parents all gathered around the TV for a good old fashioned movie night and watched "Waiting for Guffman". It's probably one of the only movies that I think is funny that I feel pretty much safe watching with my parents. They thought it was funny as well. So that was a fun time.

So tomorrow it's back to the battlefield of looking for work. I wonder how much gas money have I burned looking for ways to earn more? I don't even want to know.
