hathycolMost people don't know this, but I applied for The Apprentice this year. I spent a lot of time shouting "I COULD DO BETTER THAN THIS" at the telly in the previous series and also I and felt it was a legitimate job opportunity. I am cool with a six figure salary, apart from anything else.
Anyway, glass of wine inside me, I applied. I told the truth and all, with variations on: "I really need a job. Honest, I do. Also I have crazy hair and would therefore make an interesting telly type person. PLEASE GIVE ME AN INTERVIEW." Anyway, I got an e-mail today and I have, in fact, got through to the auditions.
Gosh.
Unfortunately, they have changed the prize to 'money to open your own business' and I on so many levels don't want to do that. You have to go with a business idea. I don't have a business idea and I don't want a business idea so I am not going to go to the auditon and I'm really fucking pissed off about it, actually, because this is the closest I have got to a job interview for months. How tragic is that? And I'm annoyed because for a brief shiny moment I thought I might get to have an adventure, at least, but there is no point in having an adventure down to Birmingham if I don't even want the end result. Plus I am meant to be in Scotland that weekend, and also everyone I mentioned 'O HEY TEEVEE PEOPLE LIKE ME' to just basically laughed at me and talked me out of it anyway, not that is took much doing due to aforementioned change of prize.
It just would have been fun, that's all.
And because I'm pissed off and moody, I came home and weighed myself and I am working really bloody hard on eating well and exercising and the weight won't bastarding shift so I went to the chippy, which of course didn't taste as good as I wanted it too, so now I am filled with self-loathing as well as being pissed off. And living at home is particularly getting on my wick at the moment as I would just like a moment's quiet peace rather than being harrassed all the time.
I haven't felt this much like a teenager in a while.
