Hello Opportunity!

The past few days I have felt crappy. My stomach has been hurting, I’ve been puking left and right, and I’ve felt weak. So last night instead of my normal “let’s talk all night, baby” session with Scott, I decided to go to bed early since I was falling asleep anyways.

This morning, the phone rang and when I grabbed the phone and looked at the caller ID, I had to try to force myself to stay calm and not do the jump up and down happy dance. You see, yesterday I submitted my resumes to two places. While sending these e-mails, I saw this e-mail from this place I interviewed at last year before I decided to go back to school again. This was an awesome opportunity but in my family, education is everything so I chose school. Well, one of the places I submitted my resume to was at that same company but for an inside sales job. After talking to the woman, she said I still was a candidate for the position I interviewed for last year but opted to not take. She asked if it would interfere with my school and I told her no. The new position is for inside sales and I’d basically be making $12.00 an hour plus commission. The awesome part is it is a Monday through Friday gig and I’d get off of work at 5 PM. The other job is a technical support rep and I’d make $11.25 an hour and not have a set schedule and January through April, I’d be working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week but I’d definitely rack up that overtime. I would end that job around May and not work again until like November the next year. That gives me time to go to school in my down time but I have no guarantee I would be hired on and not considered temp which sucks.

I want a year round job with weekends off so I can still take online classes. The sales job is perfect. I go in Thursday to take a computer test geared towards sales. The good thing is that she feels either way I will get a job whether it’s inside sales, technical support, or even a customer service gig. I am excited. I need a job and after September 13th, I will only be able to take one class a semester until I get past some of these pre-requisites. So let’s all keep the fingers crossed for Kateness.

Well I need to get some stuff done for one of my classes and put my sheets and comforter in the washer. Yes, it’s laundry day! Lol. So until next time, later lovelies!

  1. Oh man, I hope you’re feeling better now… That doesn’t sound good… =(

    Yep, I know what you mean about your family thinking that education is everything…

    But yes, oh wow about the job!!!! GOOD LUCK!!! Wow, and the position you were interviewed for last year is STILL opened?! Geez!

  2. Hey Kate :P

    I hope you’re feeling better. Glad to hear about the job. I kinda want a job, but I don’t know if I will be able to commit to it so I dunno… God that sounds so pathetic. :(

    Anyway, hope all is well. Love the new blog. I’m going to open up another blog for more personal stuff too, cause mine is becoming kind of commercial.

    Do you have AIM?
