Great * Bad* and really maybe grey

Well, I am working at August. The restaurant I moved down here for should open in July. All of this is really pretty amazing me working at August?. My first two days kicked my ass. They were long and I was hot and tired and my feet really f++king hurt. My Pastry Chef is kind of young and maybe a know it all - I don't get a good vibe from her but I am only working there for a month and half. I can make it through a month - that is nothing.
I was approved for the apartment building that I applied for but they have a huge deposit. All of this stresses me out I need a bed and I am just tired of trying to figure things out - exhausted. Where am I going to get 500 dollars? UGH! I just want my bed - I want to sleep in a bed.

I had two interviews today at Muriel's in Jackson Square so that is very hopeful since that actually makes interview two and three there. I also have several more interviews later this week around town. Can you see... my fingers are crossed.
I am still waiting to hear about the apartment in the sky. First month rent is free and the deposit is only a couple hundred so hopefully family or someone can help out with that since I am dam near out of funds. Sadly, I would need a little bit more so I can rent a moving truck and get my stuff out of storage that I sadly put in there on Monday and for some food.

I kind of feel like up till this point I was hemorrhaging money - things are changing ...finally!

Where am I?

New Orleans. I have been here for just over a week. I got the job with Chef Besh. Great news right! Then days later the opening of the restaurant was delayed till the beginning of July. UGH!!!

That's OK, I am rebounding and looking for something else to keep me going till July. Just maybe I can work both jobs for a while and get caught up on everything now that would be heaven.

I also was going to have a roommate here a friend from cooking school but his luck was a little rougher than mine and he went back home. So I kind of feel like I wasted a lot of time looking for a two bedroom and changed everything to just something for myself.

Well, I think I found a place for myself and it is kind of really nice - the weird thing is it is a high rise and the windows don't open. Not sure about that. And it is two blocks from where my new job is and a block from Bourbon St.

I am hoping everything works out soon because I am almost out of money - a never ending story for me sadly. So lets have happy thoughts and wishes for money to make it all work out.

Ah, I have three interviews hooray a light at the end of the tunnel.
