3 More Today...

So this morning in the middle of a DREADED app for a retail manager (I kept skipping over this, but I finally decided to put in for it because it seemed to be screaming at me) I get a call from my boss at BBW. "Can you work 11-4?" Of course I can! I got dressed immediately and went in and was pretty excited about the 5 extra hours I'd be picking up. I also picked up 10 or so extra this weekend and I'm glad for it.

When I got home from my shift, I canceled the app I was working on. I just couldn't do it. My boss at BBW is so awesome, and I really appreciate her imput because it's so refreshing. What I mean by that is she is of a similar background (college education and working in career that she's happy in without it taking over her life) and she's not from my state at all. Sometimes its good to talk to people who haven't been here their entire lifes. Sometimes people get so used to the way things are in their little bubble, and I like what my boss has to say because its actually and truly something DIFFERENT from what everyone else tells me. Also, I feel like she believes in me and knows that I deserve something better than what I've got. Its her saying stuff like that, that makes me want to work harder and better for her.

Anyways...I did apply for 3 more jobs. 2 are at the local hospital (sadly, niether are kines related) and one is at the local Community College. Both were easy to apply for and didn't take very long compared to others that i've done because I've applied for other jobs in the same firms before so i was pretty much just makeing sure all my previous info was current.

The job at the college is probably what I'd like the most. All 3 of these jobs are full time, but the college is offering a VERY NICE salary starting out, more than any other job i've seen. I'm very hopeful that I can at least get an interview. A lady I've known for a very long time is an administrator there, and I used her as a reference so I hope that'll help.
One job sounds like an organizing position in the radiology department. I have to wonder how much it'll pay, but I'll take it if they offer it because I love organizing and I can really see myself doing the job they listed.
The last job was an administrative assistant and it really depends on the department for which I'd work for that would be the deciding factor. I would really like to get an interview and talk the position over more before I make up my mind, but I think I was born to be an assistant. I'm so great at taking instruction and completing tasks that have been givin to me.

I don't feel like I'm being picky, I just pick the jobs that I have a instict towards. These are today's 3 and honestly my goal now is just to get an INTERVIEW so I can show SOMEONE how I can be an excellent employee. I'm overly willing and overly able to dedicate myself to a company/position/cause/whatever and start saving money so that I can live a life similar to what my head and heart tells me would be good for me. That may not make sense, but it does inside of my head.

On a lighter note, at midnight I will be paid...my first paycheck since January. I can't go splurge or anything, but it'll be nice to go get a couple things at the store without spending my last 3 dollars. Paychecks are great and I hope there are many more in the future. YEAH!
