On Life and Things Related (2)
I FINALLY HAVE good news on the job front, as I've been offered two jobs. One is a full time position (30 hours a week) and the second is part-time (16 hours). After being turned down by everyone and their mother, I think I'll take them both. My record: 2-8. Thank the Lord! And thank you for your prayers.
SORRY THAT IT has been so quiet -- unusually quiet -- around here. I suppose that the whole application/interview process/having-that-positive-tone-in-my-v
I GOT SO tired of it. In fact, when I interviewed with both of the offered positions I was honest with them. After they both told me that they would get in touch with me, I said something like this: "I've interviewed at numerous places and many of them have not contacted me back. I would appreciate it if you contact me as soon as possible." At one of them I said explicitly: "Is there anyway we can expedite this process?" Ironically, one smiled and immediately ushered me into a meeting with the owner of the company. When the second job called me back with an offer, they specifically mentioned that they appreciated my candor. Who da' thunk it?
AFTER I HEARD about the second job, I went to Starbucks -- that great American wasteland -- to tell my friend and roommate. I sat there for awhile enjoying my coffee, my plush seat and marveled about how many people type in public places (there is a Family Guy sketch about this but I can't find it). I felt rather artsy in that setting, which I'm sure is a coffeehouse's intended purpose. I share with you, therefore, a little piece of crappy verse that was inspired by these last few weeks. I sure it wasn't the only crappy piece of poetry written there that day:
Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great!
She who was both Pimp and Whore,
charging thousands more
from those whose cheeks would turn.
THAT'S ALL FOR now.
