I feel treetrunking GREAT! I just gave my 2 weeks notice...oh, you guys don't understand how miserable I was there. I feel like a giant boulder of crap has been lifted off my shoulders. I've been offered a GREAT job with BENEFITS elsewhere also...and it's NOT anything related to the BEAUTY INDUSTRY. (!!!)

If I was a little lighter and had wings, I'd be flying...

Hey, thanks very much everyone for your congrats. 🙂 I find out Monday if I definitely have the job or not. I had to go through the group screening process, watch videos, take a big long test, have one "unofficial" interview, and then a second "official" interview, and I've been told I'll be called either way on Monday. To tell you the truth...the job sounds good, but I don't feel "desperate" for it. So even if I don't get it, I'm fine with looking elsewhere. "Just in case...", etc.

Now all y'all meet me in the Park for a Parrrrrtaaaaaay! 😛

Okay...so the hiring manager won't be calling me for at least another week (oh sweet, broke, torture...) because apparently they suddenly and unexpectedly got flooded with applicants after I had my other interview. So she has to get through all those other interviews. Then she'll call.

I'm preparing myself for the worst, simply because I was fairly rigid about the hours I'd be available (planning on going to school...retch vomit etc) and I could tell that was the one area of possible difficulty, as they need a full time Christmas helper. Oh well...as I said, and truly meant, I am not passionate about this...it would be something for the interim between my pressing need for money and my eventual rise to (not necessarily the top, but)...some place nice. Some place better.

Thanks for the congrats James. 😛 I was formerly working at a Beauty Supply and Equipment store...it's a famous one...they're all over the country, I'm sure you even have one in your town. In fact they're all over the world. Do you perchance have a summer home in Germany or Japan? lol...because they're there, too.

TOMORROW'S MY LAST DAY .... For Ever ... 🙂🙂🙂

Oh, forgot to answer your question. The place I'm hoping to get on is a department-slash-grocery store. I believe it's only a west-coast corporation though. The Fine Jewelry department is a strange thing in that they tell me it's "part of" the corporation, yet it's "separate" from the corporation. In some ways this is good...I'll actually get legal breaks, legal lunches, decent pay...commission...etc...but in some ways, it will have the feel of a small business, because *some* rules are bendable, due to it's separateness.

Alright, now that I've put you to sleep...goodnight. 🙂

Thanks James...

The jewelry thing didn't pan out, because I wasn't willing to compromise on the hours I would be available, and she needed weird hours (full time then part time then full time, etc..."as needed")...I'll take a nine-to-five, over that, at least. Although I'm still trying to keep my days open "just in case" I start school. But more than that...I actually purposely undersold myself during the interviews a bit, because something about this woman was off, I could tell. And I have a family member who works in the department store, and they asked around about this jewelry manager, and not one single person had a nice thing to say about her, so I'm very glad it didn't happen. I knew she wasn't my type of person when she started asking me all kinds of completely unrelated personal questions. She actually told me during interview # 2, "this would work, except for your availability..." and I simply said, "that's understandable". Meaning...I don't care...this is when you can have me and if you need otherwise then stop wasting my time lady...lol.

So now I'm job-hunting. I have a place or two in mind; I'll update when something happens.
