Ok well i've got a couple updates. It seems that i'm only doing this LJ thing once a month but i'll change that.
1) The big things i alluded to last episode was concerning a certain position i might attain at an "up and coming, trendy technology retailer." I saw it on craigs list as a position for a stock clerk. I needed a job and it seemed that that would be something good to start with, at least until i can get something better. So i sent my resume and everything and they called me back a couple weeks later. They wanted me to come in for an interview and everything. The place is called the RCS Experience, btw. It's like a trendier Circuit City, if that makes any sense. So i met with the director of HR and handed him my resume and application and we spoke for a couple minutes. He told me about the benefits employees get like paid vacations and stuff like that. It was after i left that it dawned on me, this could be big for me. This position as a "stock clerk" could lead to maybe stock room manager, and then maybe to an office position that pays well and maybe something even better. I know that it's extremely wishful thinking, something i seem to be doing a lot of lately, but the thing that i think could really make this happen is the fact that it's a growing company. It can expand, bringing competition to Circuit City, Best Buy, and places like that. So anyway, the guy told me that he'd respond to me in may cuz he was takin a couple days off. So may comes around and i don't hear from him. I wait till wednesday and call him up and he's busty on something so i should call him tomorrow. I call him tomorrow and i get the feeling that i'm being strung along when he asks me if i spoke to some other guy about filling out some forms, something really vague like that. So i ask him if he wants me to come in again and reinterview. He says yeah, and i'm supposed to come in this coming tuesday. So idk if this guy really wants me or he's just bullshitting around. idk, but we'll see. so yeah, that's it on that.
2) Petal's Sweet 16 turned out to be a pretty good event. We were all concerned with the timing of everything cuz they only gave us the place for 4 hours. We didn't wanna take too long with the presentation and not have enough time to dance & eat, but everything turned out fine. I thought i was halfway decent as an MC, but ppl were telling me that i was great. So idk whether or not to get gassed or actually believe that i'm good at speaking in front of lots of ppl. I think i am, but I could be better. I know alot of ppl fear that but not so much me. And besides that, i thought i was killin ppl with my purple tux. Petal had this purple motif goin on so i matched it with a purple jumpoff. I thought it was hot. I thought i looked better than her, but it seems that i was the only one thinking that. But Petal looked nice, and her friends did too. There was a lil slide show of old pix of her, and i was in alot of them. It was cute, it showed how thin i was back then. Like going back in time. But all in all, everything turned out great. Good food, good dancing, good times. If you weren't there, you missed a good time.
Etc) So i wanna go to either boston to get drunk and make out with a white girl ala alex, go back to philly and get drunk and do the damn thing with a sorority girl ala nat, or somethin new, go to syracuse and get drunk and "chill" with a certain domini-rican up there, all before i start this job i hope to get. Yeah the latter part of each scenario prolly isn't gonna happen, but there goes that wishful thinkin again...
I'm gettin a new phone, the Motorola V710. It was a toss up between that and the LG VX7000. I got the motorola cuz it's black. And it has buletooth capabilities. But mostly cuz it's black. Holla.
Gotta go see C-Rza, the science wizzard before he ships out, and this 18 yr old girl Sonia that i know and find out why she's been married for a month now. And i gotta maintain that 4.0 so i can go to Brooklyn College and get some more schoolin. Ok, i'll holla when something new happens to my boring life.
Btw, I hope that Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex comes back for a 2nd season. I hear that most people might not like it cuz there's not enough action in it. But i love it because of the espionage in it, and it has a compelling storyline that you gotta really pay attention to or else you'll miss it...GOD my life is boring...
