Still alive and kicking people

After staying home for almost 2 months not working a job, I have finally gotten back into the wonderful working force..... That is the excuse that I have for not writing in a little over a month. Before I go into any stories or other blog writings that I had in mind, I thought I would update all 1 and a half readers of mine that I am alive, as well as tell you how things are going...

First off,

My mother arrived home from PEI (visiting her parents) safe and sound. I took a few days after she arrived home to make sure that she was well settled and situated at home to go job hunting

TRANSLATION: not twentyfour hours after she arrived home I went gallavanting off to Medicine hat with my most bestedest friend in the world,to share thanksgiving with one of the most definatly coolest families in the world.

ANYWAYS!

So after a superduperiffical weekend in Alberta, I came home with the prospect of job hunting.
Now, I may seem outgoing, blablablablablabla.... whatever... I HATE job interviews with a PASSION and a HALF, and I hate wandering around downtown trying to pass out my resume. Its worse than say... Singing christmas carols in the mall? we WILL not go there at this present time...

anyways, Although I had not gone to PEI with my mom because I was sick, I just didnt feel the need to get a job. Dont get me wrong, I was working very part time with a guy for a notions company stocking notions at fabricland (where I used to work), but i just didnt feel at the time to search for something else. SO I waited until my mom returned, and then decided that nothing really served my fancy on this side of the city so i hitched up my wagon and headed into downtown. (Translation, I chased the bus half way downtown before it would let me on... or something like that)

WHen I arrived downtown I wasnt really sure where to start. I sort of knew where I wanted to work So i decided to start there first. which was fine with me. After wandering through the mall, I stopped at LUSH! (no im not excited, thats how the name is spelled/pronounced/wahtever) So I went in. As i browsed through the store ( I HATE just walking up to people and being like "so like HI, Im like looking for a job and was like wondering... would you hire me?!", So i just browsed... well while im "browsing" I overheard the two girls at the counter talking about how they were schedualling someone for an interview for that afternoon. I browsed for a few more minutes and then decided that I should approach the people, so i walked up to the people and said, "I was wondering if you are still hiring for the christmas season?" and they both looked at each other and were like, "uhm yeah, when can you come in for an interview?", and i said "well whenever you would like me too...." ... "can you come in this afternoon?"
So now im all of a sudden schedualled for a job interview. Great!

then I handed in my resume at Laura Secord.....

Then I called my bestest friend and went for lunch with her

while eating I got a phone call from Laura Secord

ME: Hello?
LS: Hi is Carlee there?
Me:speaking...
LS:I just got in and was wondering if you were able to come in for a job interview sometime tomorrow say... 1?
Me: (starting to jump up and down spilling my bestest friends chow mein, but still reigning in the calm in my voice) Sure that would be fine.
LS: see you then!
Me: ok...

->insert victory dance here.....

So suddenly I have 2 job interviews with the 2 resumes that I handed out, and because my bestest friend just HAPPENED to know the manager at Laura, (and she introduced me to him later that day) I am basically gaurenteed the job.

->insert second victory dance....

Then i wandered around the mall some more, met up with my dad, wandered and then went to LUSH! for my interview...

After a 35 minute conversation, I had a second full time job working with the mostest coolest amazingest womens EVER! at the coolest job EVER!

->INSERT APPROX 90MINUTE TOUCH DOWN DANCE COMPLETE WITH VERY LOUD SHOUTING HYSTERICAL PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MOTHER ON CELLULAR TELEPHONE!
