"Why don't you make like a tree, and get the f*ck out of here."

I am still wearing my pajamas. I never bothered to change after already braving the stiffening cold chill this morning as I finally managed to crawl out from within my warm and comfy mound of twisted sheets. My motivation to even bother getting out of bed in the first place is progressively slipping away. Unemployment and living out of suitcases is killing my self-confidence, but there is still hope.

I was called in for an interview Monday at the Chestnut Hill Coffee Co. in a very swanky area of Philadelphia. Driving into the city limits on Germantown Ave, passed some of the largest stone mansions I have ever seen, the trees parted into a beautiful area; trolley car tracks embedded through the center of cobblestone streets, historical buildings renovated into one-of-a-kind stores, and a tiny magazine stand at the top of a train station lined with green paint-chipped benches. I can only imagine the cost of living. Yikes.

And this upscale coffee shop is serious about their espresso, just check out the site:

They are the #1 coffee joint in the city, and possibly 5th in the nation, so when "Mr. national barista champion" began grilling me about my piss-poor coffee knowledge, it occurred to me just how upscale this place is... very intimidating to say the least.

The interview went well and they pretty much already want me to come back for a second interview to meet the owner. Although I'm still waiting to hear from them on when, which is starting to discourage my impatient self.

Of course, I'm feeling discouraged with just about everything in my life right now. I can't figure out which health insurance plan to go with or who to get it from and I only have about 2 1/2 weeks left to decide. I also got my first loan bill earlier this week... and there are many more to come. *headdesk*

I know I've mentioned the thrill of how anything could happen at this point and all, but I wish something would uh... you know, happen. Any smidgen of certainty, or purpose. Something to keep me motivated, to give me a reason to get out of bed tomorrow.
