Virginia Is For Lovers

Yay! I will once again be headed down to Virginia on Friday. This time I am driving down and I'll be there for 10 days. I can't wait, and I am so jumpy right now that I could just get in the car and drive down there! But, alas, both Grov and I must wait. But it will be worth the wait, because when I see him I am going to hug him and kiss him and never want to let him go...well, for a little while anyway ;)

I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!!!

Ok...just needed to get that out of my head and onto the computer :P

If you're reading this Grov...I love you and I CAN'T WAIT! :)

Yay Job!

So my instincts were right :) Got me a Job at the Home Depot (from now on, HD).
Ok, so I was wrong on one thing...I'm not working in the Paint Department. I was supposed to but the Store Manager (from now on, the Boss) didn't think I was suited for it...said I was intelligent and instead made me a "Special Services Associate". Basically: Service Desk, but along with a lot more responsibility. I thought cool...it'll look better on a resume I think.

The sucky part? Only $9/hr. Oh well...I needed a job, and it will pay my bills. Just won't leave me with a lot when I move to the US.

So yay...I finally got a job. Can I get a woo woo??? :P

Possible Job x2

So I went for the job interview on Friday. I got there early, like I usually do for that kind of stuff...hey, it's better to be early and show them that you are reliable right? Anyway, get there, go into the trailer that Home Depot has set up in the parking lot because they are still building the place, tell the lady sitting at the desk who I am and she tells me to have a seat. Okeedokee.
So we go through a bunch of pre-set questions...I'm good with my answers, throw in a few jokes and whatnot, make a good impression and she tells me "ok, we'd like you to come back for a THIRD interview on Tuesday to meet with the Store Manager". *sigh* I was hoping she would have said "Congratulations, you start on this date" so I could have gone down to Virginia, but no...I have to wait, yet again lol.

I'm thinking, no one is that evil that they would make me come back for a Third Interview, with the Store Manager to-boot, only to be told no you don't have a job...so I'm thinking I'm going to be working at Home Depot for a little while...yay!

Oh, the funniest thing happened. During my initial interview, I mentioned I like to paint...so when I went for this last interview, she says "So you want to work in the paint department?" Uhhhh...Ok! lol

The only thing that is probably going to suck is that they will make me Part Time so they don't have to give benefits. I don't care, as long as I can get at least 35hrs a week, and $10 or more an hour, I'll be happy.

So do I have a job?? Possibly, leaning towards a yes.....but I don't want to assume anything!

Possible Job???

ok...so I don't want to jinx it.
I got a phone call for a second interview with Home Depot. They are opening a new store in the next town over and I went to a job fair for them two weekends ago. Did really well in the screening interview (basically the 'interview' to pick out all the unwanted or scary people haha)
So the interview is Friday at 1:30pm and I'm kinda nervous, but not, because I did so well the first time. I mean, I have the personality, I've been involved in sports since I was like 5 so I know all about team play, and heck, I've even got warehouse experience...so I'm qualified...Dammit! lol

I just want this job so I can have something until I move down to the US. It's not a permanent thing, and that isn't what I was looking for anyway, so if I get this, it will be just right :)

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! To everyone out there who has someone, I hope you make the best of it. To everyone who doesn't I hope you find someone soon. And to everyone who has someone but they are far away (like me and Grov) I hope that you can get together real soon and make up for all the time you have been apart :)

Hugs and Kisses to the Love of My Life, Grov.

Love you! xoxoxoxoxo

Help Not Wanted

Ok, it's been a week since I went and applied at the Home Depot job fair where I got an 'interview'. Basically a screening process to weed out all the 'unwanted' people. The lady said up to three weeks if they are going to call for a second interview, but I'm getting that feeling I get when nothing is going to happen.

It's been about a month since I started really looking for a job and applying to places. Hmm lets see, I've applied to 8 places and I got an interview for one (where I thought for sure I would get, and at least make some money), and a response back from another saying that the position had been filled. Sooo...I guess by not hearing anything back from the others I'm not wanted.

It's been very depressing this past month. I feel like I did before I met Grov. Before him nobody wanted me. I'd get the 'sure, you're nice, and I like you as a friend, but I don't like you like that" type of response from guys. Now it's employment who is treating me like that. I feel EXACTLY like I did before Grov....like I want to just go and sit in a corner and cry.

Ok...not having a job really sucks. But not having a job and not having any money to pay my bills is scary. I have to borrow from my parents and it's really bothering me. Not because I have to borrow from them, but because I'm being made to feel like it's my fault that no one wants to hire me, even though I am trying to find a job with my limited retail/food experience with a degree in History that no one wants to hire because why do they need someone like me?
It's almost like I have to build up the courage to ask for help, because when I do ask I get made to feel stupid. It's just not very nice. And..wow, look at me here, I'm crying.

I guess this is what it feels like to have a mother who doesn't think very much of you.

Grov the Movie Star

Yes folks, that's right. My boyfriend is a movie star ;) Ok...so he's not in any big name productions like Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers...but he did get to be Hitler's Aide this weekend! Even let Hitler sit in his truck to get warm. How many of your boyfriend's can say they did that! HA!

Ok...so it wasn't the REAL Hitler, but he apparently looked like him! Grov had fun Sunday to Tuesday playing a Major in the German Army...said he looked sexy...told him we'd have to play 'war' one day with it hehe ;)

Grov really gets a kick outta doing these things. And I think it would be fun to try. I'm not real good with cameras, but he has fun, so I imagine I would too. Who knows, maybe two movie stars in the future. Please...no autographs :P

Yep

Still Unemployed...
