Post 010 - The Interview at CableOne

You've been hearing all about it the past couple of days. And it actually happened! (Which means you get to hear even more about it!) It was at 1:00 yesterday. I was dressed in casual business attire. Black pinstriped shirt, my faux pearl necklace, my black dress pants which also double as my current work pants, and some black high heels. Yeah. I looked nice. (See photo of my sexy self!) I walked in confident and left confident. Of course, I still have to wait until Monday for a call for the second interview if I qualify. Hopefully I do. I NEED this job.



The perks of this job are awesome: Free digital cable, DVR recorder, internet, phone, $9.19 per hour plus commissions which can get up to $500 a month, two weeks paid vacation right off the start and six paid sick days. Of course there's also the insurance and all that other boring stuff too. And then, if I'm employed with them for 7-8 months, I get to go on an expenses paid trip to Pheonix, AZ for a training business trip. Fabulous! Of course I have to actually get the job first. Which entails a second interview, a two hour scenario test, and a drug test. But I'm feeling really good about this.

Wish me luck everyone. I hope I get that call on Monday!

Post 009 - I Got the Interview!

I got through to the interview. I got a call at work today for me to come into an interview for the position at CableOne. It is tomorrow at 1:00. I am crossing my fingers... wish me luck!

Post 008 - A New Job? Goddess, I Hope So.

So I filled out my application to CableOne (the local cable company) for the "Customer Service and Sales Representative" position. I love my job at Staples in the Copy Center, but (1) Not enough money for the stress and (2) Not enough hours to get the money to pay bills. On the other hand, I've made friends there and I pretty much love the people I work with.

I hope that I get the new job though. I feel like it's going to open up a lot of new opportunities for me.

Post 003 - Passing Out In Public Is Pretty Embarrassing

So, I passed out at work today... in front of a customer. Embarrassing.

I was checking someone out, and I got dizzy. My head started spinning and I got what I call "sparkly vision" where everything gets grayed out on the edges. I asked one of my co-workers to finish checking her out, and I went to sit down. My manager went to get me some water and I was left up there pretty much alone. Then this lady came up to the copy center and I had to get up (as much as I didn't want to...) to take care of her. I turned around, grabbed the white-out, and reached down and... I blacked out. For maybe 2 seconds, but still.

When I came to, I heard the lady yelling, "Help! Help!" My aunt, who works at the store with me, was holding me up. (Maybe I was out longer than 2 seconds? Because she must have run over there pretty damn fast.)

Everyone made me drink water and eat crackers and whatnot.

For the rest of the day:
"Are you okay?"

"Yes. For crying out loud. I am FINE." For the most part. Sheesh.
