in the carhartt flannel and the dusty jeans ...
The most entertaining thing about my evolved signature that is...is that you can identify a "J" and MAYBE a "t"...but it looks nothing like my name.
Nothing. When I was little, I wanted to be a doctor. At least I got a doctor's signature out of the whole deal, huh? I used to sign my name in a calm
manner...it was an extended version of "Jess" as written at the end of every journal entry. Then life got more rushed...and my signature did, too. I like it
all cracked out, though. It's fun.
It's been one crazy past 24 hours. Combine that with daylight savings...and you get me, exhausted.
Late yesterday afternoon, I got a phone call from one of the companies I left my resume with on Friday. One of the two companies that was not looking for
a salesperson. In fact, this for a job that I was interested in before I even went to Career Day. I got discouraged when some girl in my department told me this
other girl in our department tried to get a job with this company and they were really tough. What company is this? It won't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
Anyway, it's a relatively large apparel company in the Detroit area...and a bonus is that they are over 100 years old and still family owned.
So I was really psysched...I did not think they would call me...and even at that, so soon! I was way freaked out because I have only done two legit interviews in my entire
life. All of my jobs I have lucked out in---been offered. Well, except Gadzooks...but I don't really count that as anything since that was only three [miserable] months.
I did interview for that job...but that was a joke of an interview anyway. I had two tests today (German and Senior Sem) but I could NOT study for them last night because
I was "studying" interview questions.
I hardly slept a wink last night. I was tossing and turning and thinking about the questions I would get asked. I mean, I know I slept...but it was a total light sleep that
left me wanting some real sleep. I did have a dream about going to see Britney Spears with Jamie and Danielle (from school) and Danielle had boofy, curly hair and was
going to go sit with Ally Haflinger because she was friends with her. Inside my mind, people, is a crazy place.
Had my phone interview early this morning. Not totally confident in myself, but I kind of realized I am pretty qualified for the position. Most important thing is the growth potential
in this company...I don't ever want to be bored with whatever career path I choose, you know? They're conducting phone interviews all this week and then they're going to report
to the head guy at human resources and make some decision about who to bring in for a face-to-face interview. I'm totally not getting my hopes up, in fact, I feel kind of good that
this company even wanted to consider me in the first place. Anyway...
My German test...yeah, didn't fail, but didn't rock the party. My Senior Sem exam? Yeah, I'd be surprised if I get a C on it. The stuff that was on there was beyond crazy. I have so
much stuff going on right now...and the sort of stuff that was on there was so irrelevant to anything I am doing right now...there was no way I was going to remember it for this exam. OH WELL. What is
done is done.
Went and had dinner with Rich at Shield's. Came home and began putting together my presentation board for my Senior Seminar presentation on Thursday (the Detroit retail research deal).
I wanted to get it done today so I could take it to school tomorrow night so I don't have to carry it all around campus on Thursday. Anyway, I had all my stuff written for the board and all my graphs
and charts and yada yada...but it still took me two and a half hours to assemble it (cutting, glueing, etc.).
So now it's 9:45. Real World in 15 minutes...and my room has paper shreds all over it. I still need to shower (and do my hair, that's a MUST).
Oh yeah. Before I forget. Saw the craziest/funniest thing yesterday. I was driving east on 11 Mile...approached I-75 and see about three or so cars
ahead of me, a truck (going east as well) dart across two lanes to make a right turn. They turn right...and I was like...what a jerk! And then immediately go "Oh no!" because they
turned onto the service drive. Service drives are ONE WAY. This person was driving southbound on a northbound service drive...that is fed by an off-ramp from 75. He drove a few, realized this and stopped suddenly
and did a U-y. I could hardly believe my eyes. People are so dumb.
Peace out kids. Oh, and yesterday was McCready's birthday. No one really cares, but I don't want Erica to kill me for not mentioning it.
