...which, of course, for the first time in five years left me with a very empty couple months in my calendar. They filled quickly, though.
Tim and I will be traveling to Georgia again this year, and I am very excited to visit his family.
My good friend Mirtill is coming to visit from Hungary, and I am so very excited to catch up.
I am going to be sewing dresses for a wedding.
The main reason I wasn't at camp, was because it would be good to begin working. After LTC ended, I decided it was a good time to really start filling out applications. Money is such a silly thing, but I felt like I could use some. I paid $7.00 to get my car washed (After Tim and I realized we couldn't do it on our own) only to get a long scratch along one side of my Saturn!
Last Friday I was out job hunting with no luck. Hobby Lobby told me they weren't hiring, and a bakery didn't have any applications left. I decided I should take a break and stop by the car wash; I had called them earlier and they were expecting me. The general manager came out and spoke to me about the scratch, and was very nice about it. I told him that I wasn't angry, and just that I wanted him to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the machine. He let me sit in the air conditioned convenience store area while he watched the video of my car going through the wash. The girl behind the cash register beamed at me and asked, "Are you applying here?" I told her about the scratch and then added, "But I am job-hunting at the moment." She told me that it was a great place to work, and let me use her pen to fill out an application.
The general manager came back with my seven bucks, two free car wash tickets, and no idea how the scratch got on my car. I had to assure him that I didn't want them to fix it, and then he saw my application. He sent me right away to have an interview with a regular manager. It was short and not awkward, and the guy seemed really impressed with my past experience at KBC, my GPA, and that I ran cross country.
I had another interview today with the general manager and was extremely nervous. What else could they ask me? I already told them everything. As it turned out, he just wanted to tell me what to expect at the job, and then I had to pee in a cup for a drug test. By then, I figured I was hired. I'm excited about a very flexible schedule, and they're excited that I want more than just a summer job. I will pick up some work pants tomorrow, and on Wednesday, I begin my first day as a "Team Player" as they call their employees.
