Step In The Right Direction

I couldn't sleep last night. It's been over ten years since I had to do an interview for a job. Ten freaking years?! Wow.

~*Okay so we were all herded into a room and was told we were getting laid off, but it felt like a sticky note was left on our desk*~

I got up this morning with anticipation, my interview wasn't until 11:00 a.m. MST, but dammit I was excited. No butterflies, not nervous just so damn happy!

I have been in a call center environment since I was at the legal age to work, so it seems like forever. When I moved here to Colorado in 2000, I started at the job that laid me off this year. I worked my way up to the highest department that the company had. Yay! I was in that department, The Office of the President, for two and a half years, until the blade came down on the guillotine. WHACK! That was in June.

~*This was my cubicle. Home away from home*~

So I was so super excited to get an email stating that they would like to do a phone interview. The phone interview went well, and I was set up for an in-person interview which was for today. I was ten minutes early, and I think that helped out a little bit too. I feel it went well. It was only a twenty minute interview, and I think I am way qualified for this job. It's the same call center customer service job, but it's a job and it's money! It will have to hold me over until I finish school for my Mortuary Science Degree, which starts in January and runs for three years. One year pre-requisites and the two year associates.




I will know by the end of this week or the beginning of next week that I have the job. That's right HAVE, because there is no other option dammit! I really need a job.

Guess what?!

So I got called yesterday to set up an interview for a job! Yay! It's the same job I did before I was laid off, but that's alright just means I have all the experience they are looking for plus more! It's an inbound customer service with friendly customers, so I shouldn't get yelled at too much, well not as much as my last job! At least that is what I have been told.

So yesterday Hillary and I planned to get me ready for my interview on Tuesday, but it started out really rough. We both woke up with massive sinus headaches. I already had a sinus infection/congestion, which wasn't helping matters. We were both in PAIN!

However, the plans were to dye my hair black, which we did because going into an interview with black, brown, blond, gray and green hair wouldn't go over well I don't think. Yes those were the colors that were in my hair, or that my hair was.  Hillary did my nails for me too! They are white tip with a black line. That's all I really needed to have done, because I am just awesome all the other ways. Haha!

~*I know it's a small pic, but I ♥ my nails!*~

So I anxiously await for Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. to get here. I am so excited and I think I will do just fine in the interview. Again, I have done this inbound customer service for over 13 years, and to know that I wont be getting yelled at makes it even better and makes me want this job even more, and will suffice while I get my Mortuary Science Degree which I start in January.

Yay!!!
