so i went for my little interview yesterday. it went so well! i'm surprisingly confident. if i was someone else looking in, i'd even go so far as to say cocky. but i'm not. it's kinda weird. i wasn't nervous going into it, and it's not like i had to tell myself 'okay lois. firm handshake, steady eye contact, articulate well' or anything, it was like it came from the real part of me. which amkes me wonder who that other person is that pops through every once in a while. the opposite of the above mentioned. but the mac grill, the mac girll. indeed, i met both managers yesterday. the first dude looked a little chapped in the begginning, like you disrupted my pasta-mowin-sesh right before his shift and he was kinda shlumpin along, not really interested. he looked at my newly improved oh so cute resume and started giggling...he's all like 'this is cute..'. good sign? i'm hopin. anyways, we talked for a few minutes and then he said 'well i'm gonna take a chance. i really like your resume and what i can see of your personality'. i'm gonna grab my manager [guess he was the assistant?] and see if he has a sec to meet you. so i guess the first guy was a screener dude. so tyson comes out. we chat it up for a minutes. he likes me, says he's gonna put in a 'really good word' to his hiring manager who's in on thursday who does the paper work and the more official side. so it looks really positive. the only issue was me not having serving experience. but everyone there at one point or another was lacking experience to. that's what i figure. and tyson said it was great that i understood the importance of first/last impressions, being a receptionist, of making people feel uncomfortable in awkward settings so that's on my side. and a bonus? i sing. and the server's sing on special occasions.
but at lunch i kinda wnt on a mini-retreat downstaris at the little cafe thingey. by accident. i just wanted to get outside and destress. detox if you will. i got some major attitude dished yesterday morning so i was feeling bitter and cynical. so it was good. and then i totally hada god moment. outa the blue. it was so refreshing. so whati needed. i gave back to him all my plans [immediate and futre], and just felt peace. but this was after he knocked on my door, like the gentleman he is, and asked for my attention. so i walked into the mac grill confident knowing i was being led. so rad.
i'd start as a hostel <-- i just wrote 'hostel'. i'm such a freak...ermhm, HOSTESS/server's assistant [fancy for busyboy]. but that makes sesne, how would i be able to jump inot a full time server w/o any experience? but i'm eager to learn. i'm excited! i think i'll be fully let down though if this doesn't happen. i'm wondering if i should drop of resumes elsewhere or just wait till i hear back...
lois land. it's a good day in lois land. kelsea fully made up a tongue twister yesterday...shooot! what was it..._______ slippery slitherer...now what was the ________??? anways, try saying THAT 5 times fast. whew. good times!! i love hearty laughs. they're so soul soothing.
anwyays, must file if i won't even be here for a whole week!
i feel like the small, fragmented pieces are coming togehter. i love that. e
