Excitement over the possiblities
SO!
I got a call today while I was at work from Consumer's to schedule a interview. Actually, if I think about it, I was either calling David, at the time they called, or I was just heading into work. And that really pisses me off because it might have been right in my pocket when it went off.
Anyways. I'm really excited so I'm going to talk about it.
The job title is Customer Service and Sales Representative. It's located in Lansing on Willow St, which is a 40 minute drive from my house-in good weather conditions.
On the first day there were about 40 people there, if not more. Then we took a general knowledge test and that weeded out about 10 people.
So, I have a 1/3 chance of getting picked for the job, which requires 7 weeks of paid training, 9am to 4:30pm. I can either work full time or part time at 10.64 an hour, plus $1 after 6pm, or on weekends.
I am pretty much really nervous. There were a lot of older people, I imagine everybody is just scraping to find a job in our wonderful economic climate. But then, I am one of the younger people that applied to the job and I'm not sure if that will go in my favor or not. Also, I think the fact that I am attending college right now will work for me.
I need to focus on this interview, speak clearly, and be really positive. I'm sure I will be sweatin up a storm.
Because I found out, through working at Meijer, that handling phone calls (while a bit annoying at busy times) is one of the easiest things to do there, and I don't have a problem with talking to people and listening, and being actually nice.
But I keep getting ahead of myself. I've already been thinking of the possible income I could receive, and have even gotten as far as thinking of buying a new car if I get it.
I'm pretty confident. But I don't know, because a lot of those older people may have more experience...I dunno.
But! We'll find out Monday when I call them back and get it all sorted out.
Also, this opportunity changed my school schedule. I went to one day of Biology and was dreading it. I absolutely hate science, and it was at 8:30 in the morning. And I also had a Music class that was kinda blah. Gen Ed crap. So I dropped out of those two classes, because if I DO get this job, I wouldn't be able to go to them anyways, and I got another online class...Astronomy.
I'm really thinking I'm gonna like online classes, and working at my own pace, and not having to drive out there every day.
And the cards are turning in my favor lately. There is no baby on the way (whew!). And even though it is -15 degrees outside...I am pretty damn optimistic right now.
Much love
