I only own one pair of trousers and it is jeans. They are too big which is a little awkward and the belt is uncomfortable but the jeans themselves are ok. I need to buy more trousers, it seems.

Two weeks til I leave Paris, guys! And in reality more like nine days because I'm going on a choir tour for the last few days so I won't be around to work any more. Five more working days. I feel kind of stuck in limbo here now and just want to lie in bed all day so that it goes more quickly. There are a few things I want to see before I leave (couple of museums, Versailles and maybe the Arc de Triomphe again) but everything is shut on Mondays so... might get up and have lunch...

Me. For the better half of a year now. Hell, I wish I'd realized it was a stupid idea to do it for free.

What's really infuriating to me is that this fucker has strung us along for the entire time, saying "If business picks up I'll start paying you guys." Well, now that my friends and I have been building up the event for 8 months and we've literally tripled his fucking business, where's the goddamn money?

We asked him that question once a while back after we had spent a lot of time working on getting the night bigger and bigger, and he offered to pay us in the wine that he makes up at his winery. Yeah, this fool owns a winery, Livermore is excellent wine country and that shit just happens sometimes. The motherfucker's LOADED, and he wants to pay us in his wine. What the fuck am I gonna do with it? I can't sell it, and I don't drink anywhere even CLOSE to a bottle of wine a week. And I sure can't pay rent or buy food with wine, which are oddly enough two of my biggest problems right now. I want the rate I was promised for the conditions I promised to meet, and then proceeded to surpass.

I have half a mind to call up Andy (my replacement) and see if he won't do me a solid by telling the owner to go fuck himself dry. I know better than to ask for a letter of recommendation from a man who steals (a liar and a thief are all the same), because I can't imagine I'm the only person he's fucked over before. But I don't think I'm going to sit idly by while some douche takes advantage of poor naive saps like us.

I just wish I'd gotten that fucker's word in writing so I could sue him for this bullshit. I'm getting evicted and I go hungry more often than not because I'm not getting paid what we agreed on. I honestly wonder if I shouldn't just call him on his mobile someday and tell him exactly what I've had to eat all day. Just so the son of a bitch can hear the effects of what happens to the people you lie to and steal from.

First prize is A$3000. Feelin' good, feelin' like a shark in a reef full of clownfish.

I only wear jeans anymore. They are the only things that even come close to looking good on my big butt. And the only other pants I've ever liked as much were Tripp bondage pants and I'm trying to be a grown-up so I don't wear them anymore.

Dear Bloggy-thing:

Things are finally picking up at work. After a few months of pretty much making up shit to do around the office, I finally have stuff to do. A lot of stuff. I seem to have more than anyone else on the team. I am starting a new doctor with our practice (maybe 10 applications to fill out), starting two doctors in Delaware (another 5 applications for each doc), starting a doctor at a new hospital (one application, but I have to teach a new girl to do it as well), then showing the two new girls how to do the applications for the Residents that help us out. Which are not difficult, but they take time, which will be tripled with showing completely green people how to do them.

The problem here is that I look like I'm kissing ass. But I can't give away any of my responsibilities, or I'll look like I can't handle the work. And I've really had to work hard to get management to notice that I can do more. I hoped that the other girls would get that I'm honestly just trying to help the team, but it seems this is not the case. Oh well. There's really nothing I can do about it. I am kicking butt, though! I've had tons of compliments from the doctors I work with and it makes me feel awesome.

"Elesia,
Happy credentialing day! Hope you are having a great day. Thanks for doing the hard, tedious work for me, I'd never get those never-ending forms filled out correctly. You are AWESOME! I pledge to complete the forms faster this year!
Enjoy your special day, thanks again for everything,
Dr. Brennan"

I look at this when I'm feeling like crap at my job and it makes me smile :D

There's a power in an open mic, there's a power in a bar, there's a power in the hands of the performer, but it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand...
