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.

Why Minneapolis Owns:

Abundantly rich in water, the city has twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi riverfront, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway.

Minneapolis was once the world's flour milling capital and a hub for timber, and today is the primary business center between Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, Washington

America's most literate city

The community's diverse population has a long tradition of charitable support through progressive public social programs and through private and corporate philanthropy

Beginning in the 1990s, a large Latino population arrived, along with refugees from Africa, especially from Somalia.

Minneapolis continues its heritage of welcoming newcomers. The metropolitan area is an immigrant gateway with a 127% increase in foreign-born residents between 1990 and 2000.

Compared to the U.S. national average in 2005, the city has fewer white, Hispanic, senior, and unemployed people, while it has more people aged over 18 and more with a college degree.

Minneapolis has the fourth highest percent of people who are gay, lesbian or bisexual, with 12.5%

large young population and low unemployment.

The standard of living is on the rise, with incomes among the highest in the Midwest

Five Fortune 500 headquarters are in Minneapolis proper: Target Corporation, U.S. Bancorp, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise Financial and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Availability of Wi-Fi, transportation solutions, medical trials, university research and development expenditures, advanced degrees held by the work force, and energy conservation are so far above the national average that in 2005, Popular Science named Minneapolis the "Top Tech City" in the U.S.

The Twin Cities ranked the country's second best city in a 2006 Kiplinger's poll of Smart Places to Live and Minneapolis was one of the Seven Cool Cities for young professionals.

The region is second only to New York City in live theater per capita

Tom Waits released two songs about the city, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (Blue Valentine 1978) and 9th & Hennepin (Rain Dogs 1985)

The city has garnered notice for rap and hip hop and its spoken word community.

The Minneapolis park system has been called the best-designed, best-financed and best-maintained in America.

The state of Minnesota has the nation's highest number of bicyclists, sport fishermen, and snow skiers per capita.

Forbes identified Minneapolis the world's fifth cleanest city. (the WORLD!)

More than 40% of adults in Minneapolis-St. Paul give time to volunteer work, the highest percent in the U.S.

Minneapolis has five hospitals, three ranked among America's best by U.S. News & World Report

In 2000, 2.3 million theater tickets were sold in the region.

There are more theatre seats per capita than in any other American city, besides New York City.

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis.





thats why all you californians should come live here, because i miss you all and we should all live together and be one big happy family. or at least visit. i love you all :)

So,

I guess if i put advertisements on my blog they'll pay me money every month depending on how much you guys (my readers) click on the advertisements. i could make up to $100 a month, so i says to myself "eh, why not?"

Did i sell out or something? because i really dont see a downside. i get paid to do the same thing i'm doing now. that's pretty cool.

So in 1-2 days they'll tell me if i'm approved and then there will be advertisements. i'll let you know how its going.


In other news, there really isnt any. i'm still a bum. but happy :)

Theres an offer on the house, but we dont know if the morgage company will accept it, so we are just waiting. so what does that mean for me... that means that i dont have a home to go back to so i have to get an apartment, which i was going to do anyway, but then what about derek... i cant just be like "welp, you're on your own in a new city. good luck." and because i dont have a job Addison is worried (naturally) that i wont be able to make rent. which is totally valid, i wouldnt trust me either but.. that puts me in a really crappy situation... I'm going to need to get an affordable apartment for myself or something. i dont know... i'm going to need a place to live and maybe i should just get an apartment with derek (i know what you're all thinking, i would think it too). it just... i dont have a lot of options, and i do love him. Arrgh. i just get... so depressed when i think about it... not derek, but the stress of what the heck am i supposed to do. i'm really scared.

But the good news is Derek, Katelyn, and I (and possibly katie i dont know) are going to get jobs at Canterbury Park, a horse race track. I really think i'll get this job because they need a lot of people for the summer (A LOT) and my friend christine has been working there for years and can get us the hook up. and her friends dad owns a lot of it so... i think we're good. and that makes me happy. i dont want to put all my faith in this, but that would be so badass. it really would.

i'm not really sure what else to say on here now... i think i'm gonna go play the sims. i love you all.
