So I had an interview this morning at a place in town called the Patient Education Institute...it was supposed to be for a sales/marketing assistant. I get there and find out that it'd be about 2-3 months of setting up a marketing campaign, and then all sales after that. And they'd only pay $20-24k and a few benefits which I'd have to pay $35 a month to get....ooh, but I'd probably get the $24k because of my background in media studies. Woot. Ummm, no. It was a really good interview and a company that has a good product (online tutorials for patients at clinics/healthcare sites to help them understand medical topics and treatments) but the whole thing just seemed like one big joke. The sales director was a psycho and seriously talked to me for an hour and a half...that rarely happens at first interviews! So I think I'll have to pass if they offer it to me. I know it's "a job" but it's not something I'd let myself settle for just for the sake of having benefits.
On a much more positive note, I got back to work to find a voicemail from International Dairy Queen. I had applied for their consumer relations specialist last week and she wants to talk with me. So I'll have to call her back tonight and see if I can set up a time for tomorrow to chat. And that will hopefully lead to a meeting in Minneapolis, me getting the job, and then me moving to Minneapolis. Also, it turns out that the woman who got really sick here at work basically when I started has decided, after taking an extended leave of absence, not to come back at all. So her position will be open in a few weeks and is essentially what I'm doing now but permanent and with benefits. So assuming nothing else pans out in the next few weeks, I should be in consideration for that position (seeing as I already know how to do the job!) and I can probably handle it a little while longer. Maybe Heather and I can move in together in August? And then I can work til the spring after that and hopefully either move to Colorado or Chicago with one (preferably both) of my favorite girls in the whole wide world?? Please???
Veronica Vaughn: So...it's your last day of third grade....and you have your teacher...alone...in your tent...what do you wanna do?
Billy Madison: Well, I have three things I would like to do. One would involve some ice cubes and a pitching wedge. Two would involve a buffalo......live or stuffed, preferably stuffed for safety's sake....and three, we bring back some of those ice cubes and use a nine iron.
It's really cold and windy outside and I don't appreciate it. Also what I don't appreciate: not getting any sleep last night. For some reason my crazy ass was wide awake after the Rose Bowl. I was like a kid at Christmas, all giddy and wide-eyed. And I could not, for the life of me, settle my own freakin' thoughts. But thank you, Vince Young. You had me scared there for a second at the end. I tensed up at the snap of every play. But you came through for me. I only wish I could've been there to slap your ass.
