Oh, there’s a new bartender! Maybe I can get him to serve me something.

Dear Tina,

Day 9.

The reason I was in Naperville was because I have been hired as a Casting Associate for an independent film shooting in Chicago this summer. So, with regard to that…!!!!! Do you see what I mean? I haven’t just been sitting around, twiddling my thumbs, ignoring you. Unemployment has proved to be not so footloose and fancy free. I was in the office—in Naperville if you’re not following—from 9 until 5 and since there’s no point in making the hour long commute home when I have dear friends who live in Naperville, I stayed.

Unfortunately for me, this dear friend Meg had work that night so I left the office, drove to a discrete parking garage where I could change into something that didn’t scream new girl in the office and then walked around a local park for an hour and a half. Thankfully Meg had given me a magazine the day before so I also got to kill an extra half hour reading all the information seeping out of this month’s In Style.

When I arrived at her work place, which is a restaurant by the way, she still had a couple of hours until her shift was over so I made quick friends with the bartender (in part because we were actually already friends) and had a couple of drinks and a couple of sliders. Followed by a night dancing to Taio Cruz. I lead quite a life.

So with a day filled with work and a night filled with the kind of endless fun you can only expect from the Western suburbs of my favorite city, Dear Tina once again fell be the wayside.

My B.

30 Rock Quote of the Day:

Jack: No no no no no. You can’t say that. Jeb Bush is a friend of mine.
Frank: Who should I change it to?
Jack: Sean Penn. No, Barbra Streisand.
