So Jillian said i should update...

Well. I got the job a Borders. And i should be happy, right? Well i cant really because they are only hiring part time right now... and i cant afford to pay rent on half time... SuperAmerica gas station hired me full time, but i cant do part time AND full time. so i had to choose... I made a Pro's and Con's list that went somthing like this:

Super A.
PROS-$8.00 an hour, $200 dollars a semester for college, Full time, Health insurance
CONS-i'd have to work 2pm to 10pm every day (i'd miss the afternoon and most of the evening activities). It doesnt interest me.

Borders
PROS- Dream Job.
CONS- Part time.


Lame... i know. So the manager at SuperAmerica asked me to come in and train at 8am on saturday and that i'd start work full time on monday. Well i spent most of friday debating, trying to see my way around this... I didnt want to turn down super america because i know its the smart choice, but i didnt want to turn down borders because its my flippin' dream job and i've been trying to get a job at a book store since i was 16, what if it took another 3 years to get a job at a book store? so i wanted more time to think about it so at 7:30am i called SuperAmerica and lied and told him i had a dentist appointment that i forgot about and if i could come in later that day or tomorrow.and he said "yeah, i'll call you monday and we can figure it out" ....so now its tuesday... i havent heard anything... and im thinking i probably blew my chances there...

AND THEN i looked online and saw that there was another Borders that was hiring full time, and that they were going to schedual interviews May 1st and 2nd. so i put in an application and i hope i hope i hope i hope i get it... but who knows. until then i have to work part time and borders, but that would be kinda crappy to work for 3 weeks and then quit and work at a different borders. what if i cant transfer? what if i dont get it? i cant just put all my hopes into this...



AND JUST NOW Paul, the manager from Super America called and was like "if you still want it call me back and come fill out the paper work and we'll train you right away" And thats good, but what happens friday when i have training for Borders? If i turn them down will the other Borders hiring full time find out? And again, what if i get the job!? then its really crappy to quit after working just a little. UGH i dont know what to do... HELP.





and just for fun here are some videos of this guy Jack Conte. he has really really awesome videos, so even though i know no one watches the videos i put up, these i promise are worth your while.

Time to update i suppose.

So i have a job interview at Borders books on Tuesday from 4-5pm. So please please please PRAY! seriously working at a book store is my dream job. All i want is an interview because i know that i would so totally be awesome in that interview. I LOVE books. LOVE them. being well read is about the only thing i have going for me. So i'm pretty much psyched. The only thing is its a group interview and i dont know how many positions there are so... i'm hoping i'll blow the rest of them out of the water. but i'm feelin' confident.

You know what video game is not over rated at all? Call of Duty. I love it. I may just be addicted.

In other news, i want a pet pig.



Here's Why
1.) They are very clean animals.
2.) They'll eat basically anything.
3.) They can be potty trained just like dogs can.
4.) They are very smart animals.
5.) Depending on the pig, they're not that big. (i want a Babe sized one)
6.) They are friggin Adorable.



(haha the pig in the above video is named Notorious P.I.G.)







so yeah. either a pig or a Shiba Inu dog. They are so pretty. They look like foxes! They also dont bark a lot and they arent to small or too big. AND they're smart.



This one is full grown:

eh.




You Are An ENFP



The Inspirer



You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.

You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority and rules.

Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.

You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!



In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart.

You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. And you do break a lot of hearts.



At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do.

You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.



How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding



When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

home.

after a small detour, i am finally home. i forgot how much i love it here.
