you tell me...
So the events up until today.
Been here in Los Angeles for about 3 and a half weeks. Visited friends and family who i haven't seen in years. Noticed Adonis and MOnet are both growing up waaaaay too fast. Adonis will be going to the 8th grade in september and he is taking two couses at a junior college this summer (just like his older brother did). Monet is graduating from the 6th grade thursday and my Venice peeps are also graduating that same day. I think its gonna be a great summer full of celebration, love, and lust***.
I have been unsuccessfully searching for a job ever since i got here. I have applied to 17 places interviewed for 2 and i haven't recieved word back from any of them! I love this! And its not like i go in the looking like shit either. I always have my hair pulled back in a pony tail with a nice shirt, slacks and powerful looking tiw, no matter where i go to fill out an application. I dont know what it is.
I caught a bit of a break yesterday while searching for a job with Brooke. She went into the fitting room of the Victoria's secret in the Marina. While she was trying on stuff i noticed that the store manager was standing across from me, so me being the unafraid speaker I am, I told her that she should start hiring more men to work at Victoria's Secret because i know from experience, when going in there to buy underwear for your girlfriend, its kind of intimidating to talk to one of those female associates. However, If a guy worked there, he could help out the other guys and possibly make their time in the store a little less tense and wierd. Can I get an amen? Who knows, i might even be able to bring in MORE sales. A bit later the manager (who turned out to be a manager for the perfume and cosmetics dept. next door) went and got me an application and said to drop it by to her personally one day soon. She gave Brooke an application too. We were in line and about to pay for stuff and Jessica (the manager) came back up to me and said you know what, could you possibly fill that out now and give it back to me, i'm going to be here shopping for a few more minutes and i wanted it before i went home". I was like oh of course, and me and Brooke went outside and filled them out in a hurry. We went back in 30 mins later and thats when Jessica paked up her stuff and prepared to leave. She seemed happy to see us and she took our apps and started looking them over right then and there asking about our availability and how soon we might be available to work. She said she would look over it more with the other managers and she was definately going to contact us and that she was glad that we had applied. Whatever, long story short, Brooke doesn't like the idea of me working in a women's underwear store and for some understandable reasons. I told her that I would only consider the lingerie side if the one on the perfume side didn't work out. But, with this being the only job out 17 that has given me positive feedback (really positive), i dont think i have a choice. I need a job really badly and here's the opportunity. If another arrizes that pays as much as Victoria's Secret, then i would without thinking take it, but until i get another job, I will be working at Victoria's Secret if i get hired.
What do you guys think?
about me working there...
brooke's reaction...
my attitude towards the job...
