I woke up this morning and headed to a staffing agency in Arcadia for an interview. They really like me, and they didn’t make me take those annoying Office tests. They don’t get Project Management positions often, but now I’m on file… so, we’ll see!
I had lunch with Bobby, then spent the next two hours on the phone with the IRS and Primerica due to a tax error on my 2007 filing that I didn’t know about. It wasn’t my fault or my accountant’s. It was Primerica’s fault, and they are going to fix it; but, it will take some paperwork and a few more phone calls. Very annoying!
I picked up John at work, we had dinner, watched the Simpsons, played Tetris, then I took him to the airport. He’s heading to NY to visit his family. He arrives around 5am East Coast time.
Once home, I did some job hunting; and, amazingly, someone was working late in HR at a company I applied for earlier this week! It wasn’t just any job, it’s a job that really stood out to me, one I am really excited about!!! I was so happy to get an email inviting me for an interview on Friday! Wish me luck! I am not sure what the job pays, but I hope they will keep my current rate. It’s a Brand Coordinator position, and it looks great. From the description, I seem to be a perfect fit! I’m super excited!
After that, I tried to watch a movie, but my cable had a glitch. I had to reset the box (which takes 20 min); so, I went online and played Mario Kart Wii. Man, those people are good! I lost hundreds of points in less than 20 minutes! I did come in 3rd on Maple Treeway, but I came in 2nd or 3rd to last in most of the races. I was in 1st for a while on a few courses, but that never lasts very long!
After the cable came back, I watched The Bucket List. It was an excellent movie. I really enjoyed the characters, story, and tone of the movie. I liked that Jack Nicholson’s character surprised me. I expected him to be different than he turned out to be.
I’m now watching Malcolm in the Middle and typing this blog entry. I didn’t walk today, no time! I’ll walk 1.5 miles tomorrow and Friday to make up for it!
I’m not tired, but I should go to sleep soon. When I’m unemployed, I become a true night owl. I feel so energized at night. I was always this way… I remember nights in high school that didn’t end til the sun came up!
Anyhow, tomorrow I have an interview (and testing) with another staffing agency. It never hurts to be registered with a lot of places!
