Since the new year started it doesn't feel like I've head a day off at all, which most would consider bad but I like the feeling of being busy. How every I hate the feeling that I'm not getting everything I need to get done done, thankfully things are slowing down now. Part of the reason I'm finally getting to update.
About a week about I did nothing but gather applications & apply to this place or that all along Preston rd, I did 5 Starbucks applications before that. I was immediately interviewed someplace but let things flop with them at first then Wendsday or so I got a call from the YMCA after school program offering me a position & not 2 minutes (or maybe not even that) later the person I interviewed with called me back for a second interview.
I was so happy I cried.
Most of you might think that's odd because you have moved jobs so much & understand that eventually someone will hire you if you keep looking. For me though, after watching my mother fail at this over & over again for a good chunk on my life & still watch her now fail at this made me so scared that I was going to end up like her. Then hearing everyone talk about the economy & how crappy it is & how you will never get hired if you have Tat's piercings & are gay. All of the odds seemed against me. From the words I was hearing. It scared me. I do not feel I'm good at interviewing anyways so to get not only a job offer but a second interview for places I actually want to work is a HUGE thing for me. I now know I am worth it & can do it unlike my mother. I'm doing something right after all.
So I got a job offer for YMCA after school program & the job offer for Starbucks isn't on the table yet but to be interviewed by one manager then get interviewed by a store manager I find this to be a big deal. I've pretty much have the job there too & over all I have no idea which one I am going to pick. I have done some magic on it but I do not want to say what advice I was given because I don't want to jinx anything just yet. Every time I go over the pros & cons of both jobs I always find something to make up for the con I find. It's going to be a super hard choice & if I could I would take them both but Starbucks wants my schedule to be open for anything which makes sense since they want me for a full time position. Really the only thing that makes the Y job tricky is the drive out there. There isn't alot of bus lines to go out there on & if I can't get a ride then it's may not be worth taking. The other thing that may be a deciding factor is that the Y is only 20 or so hours a week & I may start at 9 dollars but even at 7.25 with Starbucks I would be making more money with the extra hours. Those are the only things I can find to be deciding factors between the job offers.
My second interview for Starbucks is Monday & I will be so excited I will post another blog to let the world know what happened. Wish me luck!
I was thinking not to long ago that I have not introduced the newest member of our family yet for everyone to see.
Everyone welcome ZORT as I called him in the video. I know alot of you are most likely wondering what the hell kind of name is Zort. We combined Zeus & Thor because of the white lightening strip on his head there. (I'm just not enough of a harry potter fan to subject him to that.) I honestly wanted to name him Thor but my roommate has one named Thor so yeah. Zort it was! Is...yeah. Haha! I love him. He's great except when he wakes you up by biting your toes in the morning under the blankets. Though it's still cute, just annoying. Katniss & him get along famously. In fact, when he had to stay in the emergency vet place the other night after an accident happened to him she was running around mewing for him. Broke my & Grilfriend heart honestly.
Over all I am stratified with this year. So much is going on, & going right. It really looks like I am getting my stuff together this time. New job, new studies, new actions, new me. If you don't like me then please see yourself out. I don't have time for you.
