So, I figured maybe I should update this thing since it's been so long...
Tuesday night I left for Chicago. I met Justin in Indianapolis and he treated me to a wonderful dinner at Bonefish. My relationship with him has taught me that you don't need to physically see someone for years to love them and maintain a flourishing relationship. I hadn't seen him in two years, but it felt just like yesterday. Talking five days a week actually does make a difference.
I stayed in a hotel outside of Chicago, which was rather loud and seedy. Yesterday morning I had a group interview at SEIU. There were only two other interviewees there, both much older men, and I still think I outperformed them. But I'm a little arrogant, too.
The interview went super. I fell in love with the woman conducting the interview (think: Wanda Sykes) and I will know by Monday whether or not I will become an APPRENTICE ORGANIZER on an SEIU campaign. The pay is great, and since it is often away from home, includes transportation, hotels, rental cars, etc. I would be trying to help people form unions at their jobs. Making an actual difference. Who would have thought?
