Washington?
If life were easy and perfect, I'd be going to my orientation at Target tomorrow.
Then again, if life were easy and perfect, I'd be bored out of my mind.
"WAAIT! Wait wait, Andy. What's this about Target?"
I had an interview at Target on Friday. Actually, I had two interviews and a drug test, which means I was more or less hired, if my drug test and background check turned out alright. I was called today.
Unfortunately, my background check came back negative. For those of you who know me well and remember me ranting and raving about it, my SSN number was stolen quite a few years ago. Well, I can finally put a name to the phantom: Humberto Gaeta.
If I ever find the guy, I'll strangle him where he stands, but let's not get into THAT...
I thought I had cleared this up ages ago, but I guess not. I'm going to the SSN office tomorrow to show them my card and my I.D. so I can get a letter stating that I am indeed Robert Zador and the number is mine. This I have to fax to the company that performs the background checks for Target, and then wait three to five days for the background check to go through.
I'm gonna change my SSN number after starting work at Target. I've had problems with my number for maybe ten years now, and I've been told countless times by the SSN offices that "Everything's clear, now." HAH, I say!
Sucks that I'm going to spend another week sitting on my hairy ass, but I'm still totally elated that I actually was hired. Actually, Target seemed very impressed with my resume! My sister aided me in snazzing it up. It makes me sound like I've been employed since I was twelve.
Which is more or less true, but still.
Anyway... I miss you all tons. I've met new people here and made a friend or two, but I've still been spending most of these two weeks alone. I'm going a little nuts; I need some human interaction!
Oh My God. I've actually been here for two weeks?!
I find it funny that I found a job within a week. In California I couldn't find one in three months.
In any case, as usual, pray to whatever deity or idea you hold faith in, my friends. Pray that I start work soon, and that I find Mr. Gaeta. Also pray that I have a strand of rope or a dagger or brass knuckles or really, really heavy rings on my person when I meet him.
Oh, and pray that I don't loose ALL shreds of my sanity. *nods sagely*
P.S.: Mondo thanks and even bigger apologies to all who have sent me messages and left me comments. Forgive me for not replying, I will soon.
