i got a JOB! i got it! yeah, i got it! the job at that one group home! *YAY!*
i'm still pretty shocked right now. like, i turned it in last monday, and i didn't hear back from them until saturday, so all last week, i was psyching myself out, telling myself i wouldn't get it, as to lessen the fall of disappointment. so when i heard from them on saturday, that they wanted to do an interview, i was still skeptical. i didn't call back until sunday, but then the person i talked to said she'd call me by monday. monday rolls around, and she doesn't call, so i call her first thing tuesday morning. she wasn't available so i left a message and she calls me back like, 20 minutes later. we schedule an appointment today at 9:15, and when i went to sleep earlier today [at 3AM, because i couldn't sleep due to my anxiousness] i was all freaking out. i left my house today way early [about 7:50] and got to the general area by 8:15 so i sat and had some coffee to settle myself down.
i was coming in with no expectations, but i was also instilling confidence in myself by thinking of all the beautiful people i know who love and support me.
so i went in, wearing my kool-aid grin and had the interview, which was mainly talking about my experiences at muir, NCCJ, and making waves. when it was over, i was certain she'd tell me that i'd hear back in a few days, so you can only imagine my shock when she offered it to me right then and there. she was like, i want to offer you the job, and i was like, okay. then i thought about it, and i was like, what?? huh? i think it was apparent, because my eyes got really big and this HUGE ass grin came across my face.
cause it's like, damn! yeah! full time job with eventual benefits! it's just great, you know? sigh. wow.
