Plan of action…
This breaks my heart so much.

Right now there are people swimming on the beach right outside my door and I can see them dancing in the water outside my window (the small one by my desk that I love so much) and here I am sussing up my resume and planning my route of action for tomorrow’s ‘Diana needs an second job’ day. This hurts much more than all the other times that I had to get a second job… Vancouver is getting more and more beautiful and I need to flip burgers to keep myself afloat. I’ve scoured the area and this is a list of places which I will be gracing with a copy of my resume tomorrow (they are all basically around the corner from my apartment),

* mondo gelato (though I might eat more than serve)
* cupcakes (yes, it is a store that sells ONLY CUPCAKES and the uniform is a cute t’shirt that says ‘I love cupcakes’ and a cute cupcake under it…)
* italien café thingy… basically barista and cake serving.
* shoppers drug mart (though I might spend entire paycheques on copious amounts of lipgloss…oh I forgot to put that on my list of things that make me happy…FRUITY LIPGLOSS)
* Starbucks (yes, I did work there for 2 years already..yes, they are a megelo-american corporation…blah blah blah…working there were amongst the best years of my life and I could have better health benefits than at my day job, no joke…oh and free coffee!)
* Steamrollers, yes…I think it would be really funny to work the crappiest of crap crap jobs making burritos for a living. I think it would be funny and I could pick up men who like burritos with my cool uniform which includes a white paper hat.. *cough*
* Safeway… though I think this one might drive me mad

Literally, the first to call with a job offer will be my lovely second job. Let fate dictate what my crap-tastic second job will be!!!

When I visit Vancouver, I will kill you if you take me to that Cupcake place. I will also kill you if you don't take me to this Cupcake place, as you know how much I love cupcakes.

But know that once filled with sugar-and-icing-filled, Kells is unlikely to kill you. So the strategy would be for you to tell me how you won't tempt my almost-vegan ass with cupcakes, and I'll be all grateful, and then we'll be walking down the street when all of a sudden you open a door and shove me inside and WONDER OF WONDERS it is a store filled completely with cupcakes, and of course I'll eat one... or two... or seventy seven. And then I'll be filled with sugar and icing, and all grateful to you. See how that worked? Good.

Those don't sound so bad. Especially the first 2.
I worked at shoppers before and I spent my breaks spending all the money I was making. Very counter productive, but you get everything at cost and I was drunk with money saving power.

Good luck on the search:)

I don't know what it is exactly about cupcakes that makes them so damn tasty. oh, wait. I think it's sugar. still, they rock lame ass.
please do not work at a grocery store. I did for nearly three years back in the day and it almost did me in. I'm trying to get a job in a cool kitchen somewhere, but I'm wondering if such a thing really exists.
