What the fudge?

Alright dang it,

Where the sam heck is [livejournal.com profile] lirrin???

I was about to order jewelry from her.

Moving on to me, me, me news:
I just got home from my interview a little while ago.
So here's how it went.

I had to fill out a long application first, which I was very glad I remembered to bring a resume with me. I was truthful about my criminal history, because they had me sing a paper saying they would check. Then I almost had a panic attack on my way up these super tall stairs to wait for round one of the interview. But I had some water and felt okay.

The first part of the interview was six technical questions, of which I answered four reasonably correctly. Than were six customer service questions which I aced. But I thought I had done really poorly on the tech questions, and since it's a tech support position I felt really terrible and wanted to run out of there and go home. But I stayed, and it was good that I stayed, because it turns out that I made it to round two. That was one of those long personality tests and then another customer service interview. I think I did well in that one as well. And the cab ride was $25. So there's no way in hell I'd pay for it. If I did, it would be the same as making 1/3 as much money. Fie!!

I'm going to work with my job developing guy to see how they can help me with transportation. The people there seem very cool and freindly, so I imagine there will be folks for me to carpool with eventually. I'm also calling on another job tomorrow just in case this doesn't work out. It's a sweet job though, good wage, full benefits and 401K, and FREE CABLE!

Woo hoo!

I'm sure you'll dope out the transportation challenge!

Yay!

It's good that you forced your way through the job interview. Not good that you had to force your way through, but good that you managed it. :)

Thanks. It was stressing me out. But as usual, I worried too much over nothing.

Worrying about what may seem like nothing may seem like it's just a waste of energy at the time, but it the worst occurs you'll be one of the few who are ready.

Such as zombie attacks.

Oh dude, I have so much shopping to do before the zombie attacks.

But you're mentally several steps ahead of everyone else. While they're off panicing, getting eaten and having sex with each other, you'll be surviving!

Well yeah, and writing about it.

Thanks for noticing.

Oh, and you rock.

Congrats on the interview! That sucks about the transportation, though. You'll get something worked out, though. I'm sure.

I sure hope so.

Congrats on the interview! Sounds like you did fantastically. Did you get any info on whether or not the job will actually be at the same place, requiring that cab-ride?

As for lirrin... that's really wierd. The account must've been deleted overnight. She had only just posted about stuff yesterday...

But you can order jewelry from her here.

Thank you!

for both the encouragement and the etsy link. I didn't really mena for that to sound like I was only interested in the jewelry. I was pretty stunned to see that line through her name.

The job is at the place I went to, so it is far. But my job developer is looking into low cost options for me, and I'm supposed to also follow up with a guy from the Center for Independent living. It'a amazing how some of these disability programs actually make me feel less disabled; when I first felt like a loser for having to use them.

I'm alive. The journal is sadly going Friends Only, and will be up, down and sideways for a few days until I get it all resorted. :)

For jewelry, either check out http://triplelle.etsy.com, or you can email me at lilith@ beansidhe.com or lisalinderman@ hotmail.com

Or if you wanna be really freaky and pre-LJish, you can call me at 360 573 5967. ;-)

Thanks!

I do have the etsy link bookmarked, I've been taking some time to peruse it and decide what I want.

I was mostly really surprised to see that line through you.

But what's that long number? Like an IP address or something? ;-P
