suck
I hate searching for jobs. My buddy Steve was cool enough to hook me up with an interview where he works at Auto-Owners on the west side of Lansing. So I took Chandra and made her interview as well. My interview was a bit robotic. You can tell that the woman I talked to sees a LOT of interviewees and has her schpiel down. So it was a little hard to function since she did most of the talking and I didn't have a whole lot of opportunities to sell myself. But then she made it clear that I'm applicable for the job, they just don't have any current openings. However, if one comes open this week or next week or two months from now I can expect a call. So it was good, but not great.
Chandra on the other hand had an awesome interview! My referral letter from Steve came signed by Anne Witt of the recruitment department. Chandra was like, "I think I went to high school with her." And she ended up doing Chandra's interview. So that was great. She had a good time talking to her, and learning about career possibilities and such. In all honesty, after our past year in Clio, I hope Chandra gets the better job at this point. She deserves a career finally.
So I kept making phone calls this week deciding not to sit on my butt and wait for them to call me back. So I called Hicks-Miller Studio (photography) in Williamston and they want to meet with me about a part-time position...in Howell. Yeah. I don't know if that'll happen. I'll keep calling around, but if nothing else I'm meeting with Maria Miller (Hicks-MILLER) on Tuesday in Williamston. I'm KIND OF looking forward to it, but not terribly. I hate being grilled on whether or not I know what I'm doing.
Of course, after this morning I feel like I DON'T know what I'm doing. I took some pics of my buddy Matt, and they turned out like crap. It was horrible. Like I didn't even read my meter...yet I did! I dunno what I'm doing...some days I just wish Chandra WOULD get the awesome career and I could be a house-husband and cartoon for a living or something.
Ignore my self-pity. It becomes tiresome even in my mind.
My mom told me the other day that she was praying for us to find good jobs and everything...but that it wouldn't be 'easy.' She said she doesn't want us thinking we can just 'up and move' anytime we feel like it. WHY NOT?! We're young! We have no kids! THIS IS THE TIME TO DO THESE THINGS!!
Egad man.
