...but now i cannot remember what it was. It is a common expression and I am going to remember it sometime tomorrow, but for now, lame-o title it is.
Anyway. Remember how the other day i was all, "i cannot even think about filling out another application. i quit." Well, it is probably a good thing that i quit when i did.
I think i talked about this already, but Monday afternoon i got two phone calls, one right after the other, to set up job interviews. I went on one today and was hired, pending my background check, so yay! It is only 15-20 hours a week at Babies R Us, but i am absolutely okay with that. The other interview from that day is on Friday, and it is a job that i think i would really, really like, so i don't even want to jinx it by talking about it any more than that.
Yesterday morning I woke up to a call from another place that i applied, but she told me it was part time and i wasn't terribly interested in working there to begin with, so i told her i was not still interested. I regretted that decision almost immediately. I was so worried that the jobs i had interviews set up for would not pan out and that i had just given up the job i was supposed to take.
Then today happened. I woke up and was getting ready for my interview and my phone rang. It was a place that i think i could like working for, but a friend of mine just left there and didn't like it. Anyway, we set up a phone interview for Thursday, and i think i am going to be okay with whatever direction that goes. The discount would be nice, but it is a little farther out than i am interested in driving for a retail job. (My job at BRU is three minutes from my house. Literally. I timed it.)
I went to my interview at BRU and as I was walking in the door, my phone rang, and it was TRU, calling to tell me that they pull from the same list of applicants and was i interested in coming to work for them? I laughed and told her that I was walking into my interview at BRU, and she said that she didn't want to steal me away from them, but if it didn't work out to call her back and she would set me up with an interview. (I found out in my BRU interview that i can actually pick up hours at TRU if i wanted, but its kind of far away, too, so I don't know.)
So i interviewed, was offered the job (at least i think. i am still a little iffy on what actually happened. hahaha. But she said that she was going to try to get me in next week to do my paperwork and that she was starting the background check as i was walking out the door, so i believe i have a job. If i don't, i'll be the one with egg on my face) and left. I had originally scheduled a blood donor appointment for the morning but between sleeping through my alarm and the other phone call, i missed it. I was sitting in my room listening to the radio and they wouldn't stop talking about the blood drive, so I decided to get in my car and go give blood. Better late than never, right?
As i was sitting waiting to go back and do my history, my phone rang again, and it was another company i had applied to calling to set up an interview. Unfortunately i deleted the voicemail before i could call her back, though i did write down her name on my notepad in my phone. I never did get around to calling her back though because giving blood took 2 and a half hours, and then i called my parents, and then J and i went to Waffle House because cheese'n eggs.
Take that, being unemployed!
