i had a job interview

it came about in a very weird, random way, and i'm not actually looking for another job but i thought, "what the hell?" it doesn't hurt to keep your options open, and honestly, you and i and everyone who has come into a certain cell phone store in the last few weeks knows that i am not the worlds best salesgirl. i'm not awful, and i'm pretty damn helpful, but when it comes to actually selling you stuff i'm stymied. so i heard about this job, and i called and had a nice chat with the lady in charge there. the interview went well, although i was sort of tired and freaked out because it's been months since i had to be on my best behavior and i hate answering the question, "what do you feel your weakness are?" and so i might not have been exactly sparkling. they're supposed to call me soon, and i might go in for a second interview next week. the job itself is typical office work, back to receptioning and doing the mail, but having benefits and a scheduled lunch hour is all i'm really looking for right now. that, and not dealing with assclowns with phone issues. for the very last time: having a cell phone doesn't make you any more important than anyone else. once crack addicts get them, i think it's safe to say the cache is gone.

i don't know. i'm too tired to be very hopeful at this point, and i would hate to get excited only to get shot down. i'd like this job, i'd like it a lot, but if i don't get it the world will keep on spinning and i'll keep on muttering "jackass" under my breath when i get yelled at for the price of text messages.

I suppose an "important appointment" which you were all excited about probably WOULDN'T be a doctor or dentist appointment! I hope you get the job. There's a lot to be said about benefits and normal workday hours, even though that gets sucky, too. Only winning the lottery would rid us of the nasty dweebs in life (or most of them). ~Tonya

Ooh, I hope you get it. I'll be thinking nice thoughts about you all weekend long.
