Glad this day is over!
It has been a long day, and I think I'll hit the sack as soon as I'm done here, but I told you, I'd let you know how the interview went.
First...I never made it to Kent's, and deliberated about going tomorrow, but I was starting to see that the money isn't going to go far, and I'd better start watching gas, cause there will be no more money till Thurs...anyway, I decided that I'm going to let Lee take the car tomorrow...that will save a good 1/2 tank, with my car running the way it has been. It's back to that using way more gas than it should, and we really don't know why. Anyone with any suggestions? So, that will at least save on some gas, plus eliminate me having to get out tomorrow morning in the horridly cold weather that we're having, and I'll be able to sleep in. I may try and hit Kent's on Mon...Tues...or may even wait till Wed...I'm not sure. I'll probably try to do it Mon., if at all possible, because I'd like to talk to Kent too, before I hear back on the job in Ashland.
The interview itself went pretty good. Getting there didn't go quite so easily. I tried to track my time...figure out about how long it would take me to go pay the bills I needed to pay...stop and make copies of my resume, go downtown and see Kent...and head to Ashland to be there at 10:30. My first stop was to be the grocery store..where I could make copies, and pick up a couple of things I needed to make Moriah's cashew chicken, that they didn't have last night when I was at a different store...so...I stood in line what seemed like forever...to simply ask where the copier was...I knew they had one, but I was looking all over, and couldn't see it. I finally just walked up to a cashier and asked them, and they pointed me in the right direction...finally. I situated my purse, and reached in to get my billfold...and dug some more, and a bit more...getting more and more frustrated by the second. The billfold was NOT there, so i was hoping that it had fallen out in the car seat. I WASN'T that fortunate....so....I had to go all the way back home...about 3 miles, I guess...and get my billfold, by this time I knew I was going to be running short of time.
I ran by to pay my cell bill, and to check on adding another phone for Moriah for her birthday...after standing and wasting another 15 mins. or so, and told what plan I could get, then was told that plan wouldn't be available till my contract was up in june...guess i can only add one phone per year...or something...who knows. So...that meant no phone through them, and also another stop at Wal Mart , to go ahead a do a prepay phone...which is what we had originally said we were going to do anyway. So...I headed downtown to just run off some copies at Tucker's. Seems that they've gotten rid of their other copier, and the only one now goes through the computer...and no one can get on the computer unless Rob does it...he's got it password protected...so...I was just so discusted that I told Lee I go somewhere and pay to have copies. So..I went just a couple of blocks down to the Kinko's. I was never so discusted their either...after finally getting my copies made, then I stood in line forever waiting for someone to check me out. I was watching the clock, and was done making my copies around noon...already cutting it short...but doable. But, I could not even get anyones attention, and I watched noon turn into 5 after... 6 after...and my interview was for 12:30. I finally got someone, and left there around 10 after...but was downtown columbia, and a ways from the highway. By the time I got to my interview, I was about 10 mins. late. I was thoroughly discusted, especially when he mentioned that he was beginning to wonder if I'd show up...and had just had an interview before me that didn't. I completely appologized, telling him I was tied up at Kinko's making copies of my resume. He spent about 30 mins with me, I guess....asking questions, telling me they did...a little on how they run the business, and the office...what duties the office manager would have. It is a very laid back place. He did seem a little concerned about me driving from columbia, but I continuted to assure him that it was't anything of a drive to me...that I do it quite often, and am in Ashland at least every couple of days anyway, only about 5 mins more than I'm driving to work now, so i sure hope he doesn't consider that little bit of a drive a problem. I sure don't...or I wouldn't be considering the job. So...he says he has one more interview tomorrow, and that he'll be getting back with me probably around the first of the week. So...I'm not really sure if that means Mon..or Tues...but would like to see what Kent has available...if anything, and how much hourly, so that I can compare the two.
We got everyone back to the house about the time I'd planned, but, the cashew chicken didn't get done when planned, so it threw the schedule for the evening off some. Moriah and the girls decided not to go to the show, since we got done eating so late, and then still had cake, ice cream, and presents. Allie..one of her friends that came over, brought a movie that Amanda hasn't seen, so right now, they're all curled up in the living room with Lee, watching the movie. I'm gonna be a party pooper and go to bed when i'm done here....lol.
So...I don't really know anything on the job situation yet...but at least one of them is out of the way, and out of my hands...so, now I just pray! Hopefully, I can get to kent's on Mon. If I can see Kent on Mon., and he'd happen to offer me about the same money wise as Chuck...I might have to consider taking that one...rather than putting Kent on hold, not knowing if I'm even going to hear from Chuck...even if it is a 'no'. I just don't know...I just pray that something does come through. Chuck sounded very understanding about my situation at the cleaners...I told him I had been moved down to 2 days...and he agreed..how was I suppose to live on that. I said jokingly...although actually serious...if ya know what I mean, that I could come in Monday morning...and just wouldn't have to go back to the cleaners. He remarked that from what he'd heard, he'd have a hard time giving Rex 1 hours notice. lol I did tell him that I in no way felt indebted to give a notice, especailly with the lack of consideration that they have shown me. Chuck agreed. So, anyway...as soon as I know something different, I'll let you know. In the meantime, keep praying that the right job comes through, at the right time, and things will just fall into place.
Well, I've been almost an hour writing this...I can't hardly keep my eyes open, and no telling how many typo's I have made. I'll definately be here tomorrow...gonna be stuck in this house all day with no car..and no way to get anywhere out in the bitter cold. I'll just stay in my cozy house...thank you very much! Talk to you all tomorrow!
Have a great one!
Much love,
Lev
