Vol. 4: I Wish I Had Windows So I Could Roll Them Down

(Does this scene from Britney Spears' 2002 hit movie "Crossroads" remind you of YOUR life?)

I consider myself lucky to have just two wheels instead of four ever since gas prices cracked the four dollar mark. But in the prime heat of my summer in Boston, I do miss navigating the winding roads and tree-bordered freeways of the Pacific Northwest - my windows down and the volume up high enough that the music can drown me out when I'm singing along at the top of my lungs. The shower and a roommate-less apartment just aren't quite the same.

There's less than a month left - get out on the open road and start wailing.

Vol. 2: F*** S*** Up

Nearing my one-month mark of living in Boston, I remain unemployed after many fruitless attempts to convince another indifferent manager that I am capable of delivering plates of food from point A to point B. Well I've got another interview tomorrow at The Country Club in Chestnut Hill - which apparently is actually the first country club in America, which I suppose grants it the right to its name. Anyway, I go into this interview with renewed vigor and a determination to "f*** s*** up". I guess I could just say "rock the interview" or even "kick ass," but both of those just don't sound as awesome.

If this job doesn't work out, I should probably reconsider blogging about potential future employers on the internet.
