Time: 9:02am
State of Being: i have a cold. ick. snot is my arch-nemesis in life.
Song lyric in my head:
current desire: energy to get up and take the dog out
where am I?: in the livingroom on the couch
what's that noise?: the AC. dog next to me licking/biting at herself.
So when I left yesterday morning for the interview, I put the address of the place into my phone GPS. (the place is actually pretty close to my friend Lindsay's house. for a few minutes, I thought I had accidentally put in her address). I arrived in the general location about 10/15 mins early. I always like being early to interviews. But my GPS led me to the middle of a random neighborhood. Then "your location is on the right." Huh? Nothing to the right, but random houses, and vacant lots. I was so confused. After driving around for a while looking for anything that could possibly be the place, at 9:54, I finally parked in a plaza and called the lady. I felt so unprofessional. I told her that my GPS took me into a neighborhood. She told me how to get there, and said no rush, because she was still with someone else. Cool. So I followed her direction to the plaza with the fitness center. I walked all around, and still nothing. awesome. what the hell. There was an independent pharmacy in the plaza, so I walked in and asked the techs if they knew where Providence Education Group was. They said there was an education group upstairs, but there's also one across the street. awesome. They told me to knock my interview out of the park. lol My next thought was if I blew the interview, I could always ask if they were hiring. They seemed cool. and hello pharmacy technician here for 6 years. So I took the elevator upstairs and wandered for a bit. I finally found a door with the number 205 on it that matched the address number. woo-hoo! There was a banner draped over the railing, but I couldn't see it. I took a chance and went in. arrival time was 10:03. not too late. I still felt bad though.
I heard the lady still giving an interview to someone else in another room so I sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting area. I couldn't help up overhear. The lady was getting hired right away. sweet! or not so sweet, because will she have room for me? They were finally done with the interview at around 10:30. And it was my turn next. I found out the lady that was just hired was for that English teacher position I wanted. But there were still openings for tutors. So she hired me right then and there as a tutor. She gave me the hiring packet with all the info I have to fill out. I have to go in for a background check. The same place I went a couple months ago for the school. lol. It's going to be $90, which sucks ass. But I gotta do what I gotta do. And I have to fill out all the application with employee history and education and stuff. I hate those things. Why did I write a resume anyway? I have to bring it to her or fax it back monday, and she's going to e-mail me my schedule. I told her I was efficient in a lot of subjects. Math, English, Science.. And I am.
I don't know how many hours I'm going to get, but it's something. And I get to work one-on-one with kids, which I love.
Anywho, I thought I was going to bomb the interview, because yesterday morning I woke up feeling like crap. yay cold. my throat was hurting, I was SO tired. I honestly felt stoned without the fun part. I still think I babbled more than I should.
After the interview, Lindz and I went out shopping for our dresses for Jilly's wedding Saturday. We're both in the wedding party, and Jilly basically said any black dress is fine. I'm not a dress person, but I found this really pretty one, and it was only $10.99! I LOVE Ross. Lindz found a pretty one too, so we took a picture and sent it to Jilly for approval. She loved them. woo-hoo!
We went to target after that (with a quick stop at Starbucks. I didn't want to spend money, but tea sounded amazing for my throat, which was still killing me.) Lindz wanted some kind of shaper underneath her dress, so she got that.
I had to go home after that. I felt like crap. And I basically laid in bed all day.
I hate colds. I rarely get sick.
peace!
