Tomorrow. At 12.30. Thats 13 hours and 15 minutes away. I am not nervous. But I'm not sure if being an Account Manager for all the South Island clients is quite what I want to do. But... this other job I'm in... as much as I love the people I work with, I am growing increasingly distrustful of the people I work for. And thats kind of sad. I also can't survive on the money I am on. Leana came round yesterday and went to put some vodka cruisers in the fridge and asked me where all my food was. Contents of fridge: 3/4 bottle of lemonade (for cointreau) bottle of lime juice three cans of diet coke tomato relish carton of milk fuck.

So I had my job interview, and the guy (Greg) was really nice. He talked about how I would have a multi-role of account co-ordinator, manager etc and that I'd get flown up to Wellington or Auckland every so often etc. So it's a step in a different direction. And if I get offered it I will probably take it. They offer international transfers.

Are you considering an international transfer? Where do you want to go?

3/4 bottle of lemonade (for cointreau); add vodka for a refreshing drink in the monring; gets one started off right. bottle of lime juice: add vodka for a refreshing drink in the afternoon; sets one up for a wonderful, citrusy evening. three cans of diet coke; discard; poison tomato relish; add vodka for a new twist on the chunky bloody mary side. You can use some of the lime here too. carton of milk: add vodka for that refreshing morning pick me up and you'll get a spot of nutrition too; warm slightly and add the vodka and you've got a drunk cow without the hot chocolate taste. and then there's the combination of chunky tomato relish, milk, lime juice, and lemonade along with a lot of vodka for job search fortification. Helpful when drafting "thank you notes" for interviews: --4 ounces tomato relish --8 ounces fresh turning slightly sour milk --shot lime juice concentrate --shots lemonade --blend with ice and raspberry yogurt for a smoothie. (you'll have to borrow the yogurt I guess) Hope the results of your interview end up better than this recipe.

No that sounded really yum! No really it did! heh. Cz, I want to go to New York. If I could work there for a bit rather than travel there and be poor while I stay it would be quite cool. or incredibly stupid.

what is a vodka "cruiser"????

"vodka cruiser" is a premix. fruit juice and vodka. several delish flavors. last weekend i had a drink made of goya® mango nectar, vodka, and enough tapatío to give it a kick. it wasn't bad. a tapatío is a native of guadalajara.

Yeah they're pretty cheap and nasty. But the grapefruit ones are goooooood. I've turned into a cheap drunk. I don't want to get hammered on my cointreau... because its so damn expensive.

In other moonit-work related news... yesterday my friend was told to go home and think for a week about her new contract. She was also branded a troublemaker by management... because she organised a group of people to visit a lawyer. Bastards. I have to escape.

why women are such boozers.

i want a big bag of money

I'll drink to that!

i think those pre-mixed chick drinks are reprehensible. last night i drank snake bites. try that moonit. time to belly up girl. ditch the pussy drinks.

er. irreprehensible. thats what i meant. to double check my spelling i looked it up, and i see the word doesnt exist. well. it does now.

thing is tho, those drinks are cheaper. and you get the nifty 'i drank cheap alcohol' hangover.

I understand about cost. as a lush myself, i really understand. thank god for Trader Joes and their cheap wine selection. I say cheap as in their killer prices, not the cheap wine. Something comforting to the lush about drinking a $3 bottle of decent Chilian wine vs slugging a quart of Tecate when youre on a budget.

Have you ever seen Cheap Red (and Cheap White) Wine sold? My dad loves to give bottles of that to people for gifts. The labels are plain brown with CHEAP RED WINE stenciled on them. He thinks it's hilarious. It's pretty good wine, too.

No. Never seen those.

I GOT THE JOB. 6 grand payrise. thankyouverymuch! yeah. i feel guilty though, but i know that i won't be the only person packing up and leaving as soon as something slightly better comes along.

Yay, Moonit!!

Congratulations, Moonit. Gonna go out and celebrate with vodka cruisers tonight?

Well done Account Manager Moonit!

Congratulations. And, good luck in the new job.

congrats, moonit! just don't become a useless fuckoff like all other account managers. when they start trying to remind you who butters your bread, tell them proudly, "the customers butter my motherfucking bread!" good luck.

go, moonie! don't you dare feel guilty, that stupid newspaper would have screwed you at the drop of a hat. bastards.

Right on hon,and maybe with that 6 grand pay raise you can come to the U.S.A for a visit.

Right on !!! Go get plowed.

hehe you all rock. I got my contract today and it looks allllrighty. Good bonus scheme. yeah. new year new career. heh.
