I can’t believe I got no comments on the He-Man opening. LOL
The last few days have been more pavement-pounding and a lot of telephone conversations. It feels like “Old Home Day” with all the voices from the past I’m hearing from. Keep ‘em coming y’all. I like the attention. In fact, the frequent socializing takes the emphasis off the feelings of disappointment I feel that I haven’t been offered anything yet.
I know I’m rushing things with this, but I really want to be a part of something new and exciting, or at least new, but I hear nothing. I just wait and wait, while people deliberate. The upcoming holiday weekend doesn’t help things. Decisions get put off yet again.
I don’t like my chances on the last interview. Things were very dry during the question and answer period and I only was able to finish half of the CAD test they gave. We’ll see.
A furniture place I applied to gave me yet another psychological test. The good news is that I am the type of candidate they can use. The bad news was that their temporary store where I have to drop the rest of my application off at was closed for the evening when I made it back out to the mall.
It does sound like American Eagle will give me an interview though. After the furniture place was closed, I dropped off an application there. They don’t pay worth a shit, but all those scantily clad young girls will definitely be a pick-me-up.
Speaking of malls, as I’m always doing, apparently whatever it is they’re putting up next to T.J. Maxx at Tanglewood Mall is now underway. I tried asking around to see what was coming, but nobody’s talking.
But anyway, that’s all that’s going on.
* - anybody out there know what the title references?
Please don't ever work at American Eagle...you really don't want to do that.
ReplyDeleteI have beef with the place, as that is where my crappy ex-fiance was employed the entire three years I was with him. My uncle was also the VP of the west coast until they "squeezed" him out.
Just don't work there...thanks =)
He-Man is too young for me, and my windows media player is too slow...
ReplyDeleteYour pavement-pounding stories are draining to read; I feel for you for experiencing them......
Yesterday, I got the brilliant idea of taking over day shifts at work as soon as my world-travelling friend has taken of for another 3 months in the summer.... in late july....*sigh.* plus they'll just push me out and rehire when she returns, which she inevitably will, in spite of her repeated insistence to the contrary......
Gainful-employment hunting sucks....
Turd Ferguson was the name used by Burt Reynolds on the "Jeopardy!" skit on SNL a while back.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am back, and yes, I am very good at SNL Trivial Pursuit!!

Carrie: It doesn't look like I'll have to work at American Eagle now. Stay tuned...
ReplyDeleteHeather: You've been there for so long, I don't think they'd push you out on a whim, but then again I don't know your boss.
Ken: Well, of course you would know ;-)
Welcome back! How was your trip?
