Just as I begin to drift off into a haze of laziness, I quit.
Being funemployed, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when you compare it to the opportunity to do what you love and get paid for it!
As per my previous post, I had a morning interview at Matchstick on Friday, and couldn't come out of it more excited to start life. I don't believe I'm the best interviewee, I can become awkward, especially when I feel like I have to act or really promote myself. However, this interview was like none other I'd had; the questions had purpose, were relevant and felt really easy to answer in depth. It was sort of like I was catching up with someone I hadn't see in a long time and wanted to impress with all my greatest accomplishments - thorough, comfortable and real! If all goes well, I'll have an exciting update in a few days!
After my interview Matchstick Co-Founder Patrick Thoburn pointed me towards a few cafe's and boutiques in the Liberty Village area just around the corner. I stopped by the first place I found, School; exposed red brick and doodled-in black chalkboard walls, a couple dozen round clock faces, and red apples decorated the place, capturing this theme. It was still early so I ordered a bowl of yogurt, fruit and granola with an iced coffee for the patio. You best buh-leave I was gettin deep into mah mind - thought about the interview (obvi), thought about what it would be like to work there, how I got to where I am, where I came from, what came first the chicken or the egg etc. etc.
Then as I went to meet up with my mom, bro and sis who were dying to go shopping in Toronto, I stopped by a Vintage boutique The Public Butter. And quickly realized there could be a few treasures in this store after finding old and well used Ferragamo shoes and a couple gigantic turquoise rings for only $10! They also do their own silk screening in the store, but the heat and that used clothes musk took over me, so I headed down to Bloor for Holt's summer sale (up to 50% off people!).
After a few small purchases and some complimentary lemonade (frock yeah!), we headed to Queen St. and then went out for my uncle Danny's birthday with the whole Mark clan. Ze End.
