when do I get my break?

When I left my interview Friday morning I was told I would receive an email over the weekend as a practice to see my work on Excel spreadsheets. I did not receive that email... I was also told I would receive a phone call about a second interview. As I sit here waiting for the phone to ring I think, what if they don't call me back? I was looking at jobs yesterday and there just isn't anything I am interested in or can even afford to work for... Disney wants you to work for $7.24 an hour. C'mon, that wouldn't even give me the gas money to get back and forth to work! How can I sell myself when I thought I had given the interview of a lifetime? Why is there always someone that seems better than me or someone they don't want to take a chance on. It's all because I just moved here. People are afraid that I won't stay here. Well damnit I'm not the type of person that when the going gets tough i get going... I am here for the long haul.
Sorry I just needed to vent... I really want that phone call to come and I have been praying on it... Maybe I'm just not good enough........

We will never forget

I just wanted to reflect on the tragic disaster that happened 7 years ago today. We will never forget the events of that dreadful morning. I pray for the families that were forever changed and I hope they are finding some sense of peace in knowing that their loved ones are watching over them from above. I pray for the soldiers that are still fighting for us today. I also pray for their families, that they find the strength to continue on in everyday life as best as they can and that their loved ones are returned to them safe and unharmed.


On that note... things are looking bright around here (except for the weather...lol lots of thunderstorms over the past couple of days.) I had an interview last evening for an office assistant position with Acme Enterprises. They specialize in T.V. and Audio repair parts. I would be in charge of responding to inquiries, preparing orders, shipping them, and keeping track of inventory and bookkeeping and secretarial duties. It was interesting! The "office" was about 2x2 and had 3 desks crammed in amongst all the merchandise. They smoke inside there too! EW! How bizarre! They don't offer health benefits at this time either. If I get the job offer that would be my last resort. I am getting quite sick of not working! haha

I have another job interview tomorrow morning at Full Sail University. this position would be the manager of the school store. Not exactly my first choice but definately interesting enough! I would be in charge of the employees, sales transactions, inventory, deliveries... a true big girl job :-D I really hope it goes well. The current manager is finding someone to replace her when she leaves and she said that she was impressed by my cover letter and resume when she called! So I think that is a GREAT start :-D

I am going to go back to my movie now. Get to relax after cleaning the apartment!! Bed early for this girl! Have a great night :) Check ya later!

It's been busy!!

So I finally got a bed :-D No more sleeping on an air mattress for this chick. No sir no way :) I got a bed and I LOVE it. I haven't slept this well in a long time!!
I also bought a Canon Rebel EOS G 35 mm camera and am in LOVE with it!! Tj and I went touring and took black and white photos and I cannot wait to get them developed.

One of the friends that we met here just moved back to VT :( He has been living here for 4 years in different apartments with different people. His current living situation took a drastic turn and he got kicked out of his place. We told him he could stay with us for the weekend but we couldn't let him live with us. TJ has started school and needs to focus and I am still on the job hunt! We are trying to get ourselves settled in and acclimated. We can't just move someone in! Also, our landlords would not be impressed I'm sure! So he decided to move back to to near Newport,VT!

My brother's birthday is in 2 weeks and I have been searching EVERYWHERE to find him a Teacup Yorkie! We are dying for a puppy but do not have hardly any money to spend on getting one. Wouldn't you know I would get the run around from every Tom, Dick, and Harry telling me they have them for cheap but I just have to send them $200 and they will ship it to me from Cameroon. WTF is Cameroon?! You freaking advertised that the damn puppy was in Orlando. Go figure they aren't! Well, unless I want to spend $1000-$1500 on one! Um SORRY, no thanks. I will keep looking, something will come about eventually. It would just be nice to have a pet to give our love to and fill our home with more joy than it has now. We are starting to get a little homesick and we would love something to cuddle :)

Anywho, I think I am going to go make a pizza for dinner and then go for a swim at the pool :) Maybe i'll even go for a run at the gym, since we FINALLY found it :)
Talk to you later people!!


I miss you all
