I hate waiting for calls. I'm supposed to be receiving a call from this one place (that I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention) regarding a volunteer opportunity. I was scheduled for an interview, but I called them back yesterday because it conflicted with my mother's schedule and they were just being more difficult than they needed to be.

So I was basically told that I'd get a call some time today about an interview I may or may not have today or tomorrow. Which, if you ask me, is not very professional at all. I suggested on multiple occasions that this be conducted as a phone interview, an option presented to prospective volunteers of another location that is also very convenient for me considering I stay home pretty much all day.

I mean, if they're emphasizing this because they want to physically see me and my hygiene/personality/whatnot, they're honestly not prioritizing their criteria. It's mostly behind the scenes clerical work, you see. Therefore, what I look like shouldn't be as important as my experience, skills, and things of the sort. I could have the ugliest haircut in existence, but if I was damn good at what I do, I'd still hire me.

I just don't understand how hard a phone interview could be. It's convenient on both parties' ends considering they're probably really busy and my mother (my only ride) is also very busy. If we're both busy, why not just call for a few minutes? I'd think they'd want to hear more about my class presidency and work with my conservatory than take a look at how clean my nails are and what kind of hairstyle I wear (which isn't part of the job description, anyway).

I shouldn't be denied an opportunity simply because my mother is unavailable at the times they set in the middle of the afternoon. The job I applied for is perfect for her schedule, early in the morning to early afternoon. That's what I'd indicated and I'd only hoped that they'd imply that perhaps those are the only times I am available for anything, really.

Anyway. That was just my mini-complaint. I'm sure it'll be resolved one way or another.

AND QUICK DREAM BLOG:

I sadly don't remember much because I'm too lazy to keep a pen and pad near my bed to write stuff down the minute I wake up (I'm also too lazy to wake up and write). But here is what I remember of last night's dreams. Well, one of many (since you're said to have up to 8 dreams per night).

My sister got preggers and it was really embarrassing for the family so she was basically banished and shunned from our family. I remember being very angry and yelling at her (which was probably not the best move for someone who just found out they're pregnant).

This is probably due to too much Avatar with the whole, "Zuko being banished from the Fire Nation". But I've also heard that people depicted as pregnant in dreams signal a new beginning with lots of opportunity (by giving birth to a new life or housing such opportunity in the womb, in a dream). So maybe I was yelling at her to let out my frustration with how successful her life seems at the moment.

She's straight out of college (magna cum laude) and currently on an international business exchange program, and when she gets back, she's already got a secure job with a gargantuan company that pays extremely well. And during my uncertainty with the upcoming college process, I can't help but feel like I have so much left to do in my life in order to prove I'm worthy of having gotten her hand-me-down-womb (sorry, mom).

Surely some of her brilliance was passed down to me? And I'll be honest, I know what largely separates us: she's not AMAZINGLY brilliant, but she uses what she has to her advantage and is a very hard worker. On the other hand, I think of myself as pretty damn witty and socially awesome. I also have some brains (which never hurt anyone)--I just don't utilize it.

In short: I'm a lazy procrastinator, she's not. And I should really change myself, but it's just how it is. She steadily works through assignments while I lounge around until I have a day left to pound out an entire essay. I suppose in terms of a real-life situation, my procrastination skills would be a lot more helpful, considering I do better under slight pressure and know how to manage my time in a short amount of time (hey, procrastination still involves a lot of time management, such as when to start working your ass off and such).

Whatever. I guess I shouldn't be comparing myself to my sister in the first place.
