Someone from Sears called me earlier today about a job opening I was seeking. I thought this was going to be a "give me your basic information" call before scheduling an actual in-person interview. Instead, I was asked questions like "Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond the call of duty to provide exceptional customer service." I don't remember every detail about my past work experience and these types of questions always catch me off-guard. I told her I couldn't remember a specific example, and she abruptly ended the call.
I was pissed off for a while. I reflected on my feelings for a while and realized it was silly to get worked up over not getting a job I wasn't exactly crazy about, especially when I need to focus my energy on getting a job at the newly-launched radio stations in town. I left voice mails for my Vocational Rehab counselor and the new employment agent who's working with me.
After tonight's OA meeting, I went to a group member's house for tea then took a walk around the neighborhood with her. I definitely feel more relaxed now.
A few weeks ago, I discovered I mistakenly entered an online payment for the wrong company. I entered the amount under my credit card company's name instead of my phone company's name. I've scheduled the phone company payment for May 2nd.
I ordered the correct size boxes to ship the glow stick bracelets I plan to sell on eBay.
