i said mi amor
Thank you for all the good thoughts, prayers, and well wishings, preciouses. Preciousii? You decide.
I think it went very well. There are only two other applicants, and I don't think either one of them are as strong a candidate as I am (she says modestly). I am 85% certain I'm going to be moving in the next three weeks, as he wants me moved before I go visit causeways in Germany, so I'm prepared to start in the store upon my return.
HOW CRAZY IS THIS SHIT?
Hi. I'm pretty much going to be moving (hopefully.... COUNTING CHICKENS AND ALL THAT) in the NEXT THREE WEEKS. AHHH. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO. (HOPEFULLY! MAYBE!!)
First item on the list, of course, will be actually telling my mother. :)
But really, the interview was kind of awesome and hilarious. He already knew a crap ton about me, since I started in a store managed by the woman that is the district manager now. So she knew all kinds of shit about me, and so did the manager of my old store now, who used to be my assistant manager. He read parts of my application aloud that he particularly liked, and asked about my family. At some point, I remember asking him whether or not they sold Playboys, which devolved into a conversation about how everyone goes to the internet for porn these days, since Playboy is too soft core anymore. So that was pretty much fantastic. He introduced me to all of his staff and we had impromptu meetings with his old assistant manager (who is now a manager at another store), the shift leaders at his store, and the district trainer.
AND YES. I'M FEELING VERY GOOD ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Whiiiiich is immediately followed by sadness about leaving OKC. Like, I don't particularly like OKC, but I like my friends here, and the things I do, and the store I know. I mean, YES, I am ready to move on and if offered I will take this job, but it's also kind of a wrench, because I do like it here on some occasions. Which is clearly not the basis for staying in a city, is it? Sigh.
