Listening to: Colbie Caillat- Realize
so yesterday.
I told tim i was going to go shopping for new shoes.. aaaaaand he gave me his card and told me to go crazy... AHHH.. i did. i feel awkward.
Anywho so i went to the mall this morning to get these crazy shoes because i wanted to look nice for my.... *drum roll* interview :} that is right.. I had an interview! finally huh? geesh . i have sent out 50 resumes in less than a month!!! thats insane! and i only got 1 interview out of it! SOME people don't seem to think thats enough.. some people not in the picture anymore but who really put a damper on the whole searching motivation.. But tim said he is sooo proud of me and I think he understands why I waited for a job in somewhat of the industry i want or at least one I can get comfortable in for a while and grow in while I go to school. but yeah.. the job is for a company called Volusion. I would be a customer service/ IT tech. Basically I'd be answering questions about html and such. "why isn't this code working on my site" sort of thing. Huge resume builder. Plus it pays more than my last job of $12/hr :} It really is a really good opportunity because the company is growing fast and there's tons of room for growth. I think it would be a fun environment. theres a lot of different looking people there and soon they're getting a bigger building which might open up the option of a graphics department. right now the graphics department is in Texas. but yeah. they're located in simi valley and it is LITERALLY right next to the condo we're getting. not joking. the entrance of our complex and the shopping center share the same street.. i could walk to work everyday in less than 3 minutes.
Anyway so thats the job... sounds good huh? That's because, as in most cases, there is a catch... basically the hours in the beginning will suck balls. 3am-11am! I know. OUCH! but.. i can't afford to be picky right? I need a job. its been long enough and I was just telling timmy a few days ago that its been a long time and I hadn't been getting responses to my resumes, so I was going to wait out the week and start applying to jobs not exactly in the industry I am working towards.. like starbucks and stuff which is great but I just want as much training as I can in the field I am going to school for.. but then this came up. and its not exactly the MOST ideal job. but its close. theres always the possibility of the hours changing in my favor or maybe something better might come up within the next week. Training is from 8-5 like a normal job so thats cool.. but it sucks because we don't more to simi for 45 days so thats a lot of driving in traffic. oh well. at least it wont interfere with my timmy time.They said it pays more than my last job.. but I think I am going to ask for $13-14/hr... because of the gas prices right now.
I read and hear from a lot of different people that one of the first things an interviewer notices is your shoes. Not sure if thats true but they sure do make a difference in confidence.
And buying the shoes was fun. I find that its much funner to buy shoes while getting the opinion of a gay boy. I love gay boys. He was soo gay. So this really nice girl and the spectacular gay boy helped me pick out my shoes and suggested that i go with the pointed toe heel.. never worn a pointed toe before but he said that it looked really good on me and more professional than the rounded toe.. and who ever questions a gay man's opinion... especially when it comes to shoes? exactly.
So the interview went really well. I met with the woman who works in HR and then this guy who i thought was the CEO but he is something else.. i forget actually.. I took an html text and then a typing test.. didn't get any results.. that would have been nice.. but I definitely think this was my best interview yet, and they want me to come back tomorrow to meet the CEO.. so I think I got the job.
Jason Castro was eliminated from American idol.. :{ I mean he did kinda get suckier over the weeks but his suckiest is better than syesha's best.. she is annoying. and has no personality.. its like forced and fake and once again.. annoying... boo to syesha. how did she get to the top 3? bs. david cook is sexual. in a nonsexual way. what?
oh yeah. on the way out of the mall i ran into jenn and matt! they're still awesome. I missed them man. I forget if they said they'd call me tonight or last night but i hope we hang out soon.. I miss having friends :[ and they are hella tight. heh cuz im black.
lol oh funny story. for my last photo assignment, the assignment was "portraiture". one photo of just a "portrait", a candid portrait, and a context portrait. i was running low on time.. and good pictures.. so i improvised. i went through a bunch of my old photos and found some sexy pictures I took of Timmy playing the guitar. Lol unfortunately for me.. I forgot about metadata.. !! soo i get an email from my teacher saying that i shot my pictures in automatic mode, and too please reshoot them in manual mode.. i couldnt blieve he was giving me another chance to do the assignment and then he wrote under that "by the way, i can see all the metadata for all your pictures" lol..... it was so embarrassing. not only could he see the camera modes.. but the date.. it was taken almost 2 years ago and with a different camera.. yeah... embarrassing.
hehe timmy likes colbie caillat..
