I put myself out there.

I did it.
I printed my resume, however outdated, and headed off to the mall to apply for a job at Reitman’s but when I got there I saw that across from Reitman’s was R. W. & Co. Now that’s a store I can see myself in. It’s hip, trendy and full of hot, gorgeous people. I would be a perfect addition to either store, don’t you think.

Now, there is the whole problem with me not having ever done retail, except for a small stint at a ski/snowboard shop in the Bellis Fair mall in Washington. That was so short lived it’s not even on my resume. I can’t tell you anything about roller blades, snowboards or the newest ski goggles but I know clothes and I can spot a woman looking to spend money a mile away. Like I said, I’m perfect for this. Now I just need a phone call and an opportunity.

Cross your fingers.

In other news, it’s been a fun couple of days. I went back for the second and last part of my root canal so I have a new tooth and a new prescription for Tylenol 3.
Man, I love that stuff too much so I’ve kept to Advil and Tylenol 1′s. I’m in less pain, less loopy and the kids aren’t laughing at me while I sit on the couch and drool all over myself, so really I’m feeling much better.

Chuck has revamped the behind the scenes working of this website and my email stuff so that’s cool. I won’t bore you with the details but take my word for it, he is my computer guru with a rockin’ exterior. (Maybe I am a little loopier than I thought.)

I’ve also asked for Chuck to add an email link so that you can get to me directly, for those of you that are afraid of the comment button. (Don’t worry, it won’t bite but if you misspell a lot of words I’ll probably laugh at you.)

Oh, we’re going out with our monthly dinner date buddies so I’ll have a new restaurant review for Calgary’s Chili Club Thai House coming soon.

My mouth is already watering!

One more thing, thanks to everyone for adding your two cents about whether I should do this mall job thing or not. It’s definitely not my get-rich-quick-scheme-of-the-day but it’ll be fun and I know I’d be good at it, so you were all right. I’m going for it.
Like I said before, cross your fingers and I’ll let you know what happens.

I wonder if my chances would be better if I went in and spent hundreds of dollars on clothes today? Couldn’t hurt, right?

(Relax Chuck, I made a funny.)
