Impractical Girls /I.J/

Chapter Six

Sals Point Of View:

"This is some bullshit." I mumble to myself after I pressed end on my cell phone.

"What's wrong?" Q asks, approaching me, and sitting in one of the chairs at the table.

"I just called like 10 places that claim they are hiring but when I call and ask about an interview, they tell me they aren't hiring. Its pissing me off." I rub my face with my hands and massage my temples a little bit.

"You'll find a job soon, my friend. Give it some time."

Murr and Joe came in with some boxes and set them on the table.

"Donuts forever." Joe says and reaches into the box to grab one of the white colored pastries.

After they all took theirs, Joe offered me one but I shook my head.

"Okay what's wrong Sally boy?" He asks. "You don't ever turn a delicious snack down."

"Job searching isn't going well, I've called so many places."

"Wait, you're calling places? No, no. You have to go into the places that are hiring, if you call over the phone it makes you look lazy and effortless. You have to dress nice and go in to ask about the job. Trust me." Murr explains and gave me a sympathetic smile.

"I guess I can try that, how about you guys? How's some side jobs coming?"

"I got Joe a job to work with me." Q stated with a big smile.

"I got a job as a taxi driver." Murr smiled and jumped up and down.

"Good job guys, I'm proud." I lightened up a little bit and got up to grab a Snapple. I sat back down and Q stood up.

"Sorry guys I have to go to an interview for a car wash job. I'll be back later." He adjusted his hat and grabbed his keys off the hook then left quickly.

"I wish I still had my car washing job." I said to myself and sipped on my drink.

"Sal, I know you're going through a tough time with all this going on but cheer up. You'll get a nice paying job soon, you just have to keep your head high and above your shoulders. And I sound completely ridiculous because its like I'm a pastor." Murr said causing Joe and I to laugh.

"I won't lie but that's 100 percent true." Joe commented and stole my Snapple and took a big drink of it.

"Wow Joe, have it. You know I can't drink after people." I let out a sigh and pushed myself out from the table, then sat on the dark colored couch.

I flip channels on the TV and jumped up and down, seeing the girls were on.

'Stop being a puss, Si, and do it! Ask for those digits!' Bess said making Si shake her head.

'Let me get those digits?'

The man laughed and showed her the ring on his hand. A big red thumbs down appeared. It went to the next scene.
