OMG!!

Omg!! Guess who just called?! Blue Jays!!! That is Toronto’s Baseball Team. I sent in my resume and cover letter to them a week or 2 weeks ago and they want me for an interview! :excited: At first the lady asked me a few questions on the phone on why I want this job and an example of great service to the customers. I just gave her an example on the bat and I guess she liked it for next thing I know I’m having a little job interview this Saturday. I’m so nervous though I hate job interviews. I get all nervous and I turn all red. :shy: I also tend to stutter when I’m nervous. I hope everything goes well and I really need this job because I want to quit selling ice cream for a change.

I cant wait. I’m so excited I dont think I’ll be able to focus on studying for Friday’s test.

P.s. If I get this job, I may be able to get free baseball tickets. Not that I like watching baseball and all. :???:

Friendly flirting

Current Mood:

Is it wrong to flirt with someone who you dont like? I noticed this guy in my class who comes up to me every lab to ask for help. He didnt use to do that until this semester. We’re both in the same classes except for one so that means we see each other all the time. He’s not cute and all and he’s not really my type but I just noticed him coming up to me all the time for help even though one of his friends are real smart that he doesnt have to try. I think he asks for help as an excuse to talk to me.

Today we had a test on one of our computer classes. We studied (or tried to study) together during the whole afternoon before the exam. It wasnt easy since there was alot of flirting going on. It was really hard to concentrate. He could have studied with his friends but he sat next to me the whole time. I dont like the guy but it’s just fun flirting with him. I do think that he likes me but I hope he doesnt ask me out since I’m not really attracted to him. :no: But we’ll have to see. I seem to attract the non-cute/hot guys.. Why is that? :look:

The Interview

Current Mood:

Okay I think I didnt get the job as an usher of Blue Jays. The interview sucked like hell. Okay it wasnt that bad but I still dont think that I’ll get the job because of the screw ups right there during the interview. First thing is I didnt bring a reference. She forgot to ask me to bring them during the phone call. So I didnt bring them but she asked for them before the interview. Second mistake, my answers to my questions sucked. I was practically stuttering because I was so damn nervous. My answers were basically half bullsh*t and half truth. Then the third mistake was when she asked “So why Blue Jays?” That literally threw me off! I didnt think that question was going to be asked so I just told the truth that I dont watch baseball and that I picked BJ because I wanted to see why people like watching baseball…. :weeping: Such a bad answer. Then she was telling me about the stuff that they do how employees get free baseball tickets, they have lunches , games etc. I didnt care for those since they never entered my mind in a least bit. I asked her for the wage at the end of the interview and it is $10!!!:yikes: That’s like so much higher than what I’m getting in my current job. Makes me pray that I really got it but at the same time, I know that they’re not going to mail me a letter say ‘Congratulations You are now a part of Blue Jays employees’. :sowhat: She even said that you get your own locker, uniform and they even dry-clean those uniforms. Talk about pampering while on the job. They were only on their 2nd day of interviewing people so they have alot more to go. My guess is by the end of the month they’re going to be done then they’re going to send off their letters whether I got it or not.

I do hope I get this job. I hope my manager gives me some great reviews because when I called her so I could use her as my reference, she said ‘You’re not leaving me. I’m warning you, you cant leave me’. Jokingly I hope. :nervous:

Wrong guys.

Current Mood:

As I was going home today, some dude just started talking to me. He asked me what country I’m from, my age then he asks me “Are you free?”. Me being an idiot and all said “What do you mean?”. Then he told me that he wanted to go out with me. I politely said no, stating that I dont want to date anyone right now since I’m busy with school. That is the truth. Plus it turns out he lived one house away from me so dating the neighbour wouldnt be a good idea.

I dont get asked out alot and if it does happen, it’s usually the guys that arent my type… Why is that even before valentines day, I get asked out by the wrong people??? :irked:

The scoop of closing.

Current Mood:

Today and tomorrow I am working. Why? Because I have no life.. Lol 8-) . Not really. I have a little life but since Monday is Valentines day and I do work in a chocolate store therefore they need me to work (not alone.. thank God). So the scoop with the store closing is that its not the company wanting to close us, it’s the mall management. Since our lease is up, we only pay then around $500-ish for the rent so in order for the mall to profit they have the power to kick us out and sell our space to other retailers like KFC, Taco Bell etc. They would be charging the rent of $800-ish. Thats why the mall wants us outta here. The company (us) is trying to keep us in here and they are trying to make a deal with the mall management.

At the same time, the mall has this raffle going on and they want certain stores to send out the ballots. We were suppose to sign up for it but we didnt because we’re pretty bitter about the whole kicking out thing. So when they realized that we didnt sign up, the mall management went to us and just gave us the ballots to give out to people. Apparently they signed up for us…. :sowhat: That is pure hypocrisy. Why would they want us to promote some stupid ass contest yet at the same time try to get us out of here?! Does anybody else see this picture?!!!:irked:

Another thing is they want to fix the mall so that it doesnt look like a “flea market” yet they want to remove a chocolate store who has a great reputation as one of the best chocolate sellers in Canada and replace it with KFC? The thing is if they have KFC as our replacement, the clothing stores next door will smell like chicken. Wouldnt you rather smell like chocolate than chicken?

Basically after Easter we should be outta here if the deal doesnt cut through. Otherwise, I’ll be looking for another job. :sowhat:

Appointment

Current Mood:

I had a dentist appointment today. I didnt like it. That flouride crap that they make you gargle(sp?) for one minute tastes so bad I couldnt handle it. So that was my day… Nothing new except for this guy that I’ve been hanging around with for quite some time. This is the same person who I thought liked me that wasnt even close to my type. Well he has a gf so thats good. But the flirting doesnt seem to stop. We continually flirt with each other. Sometimes I think that he likes me then sometimes I dont think so since he has a gf and all. I dont really know. Maybe I am sorta liking him a bit because I havent had so much fun flirting with a guy for a while now. Sad how going to an all girls highschool can do that.. :slant: He asks me for help on homeworks and stuff. I’m even meeting him on a study session this monday. Just me and him… :shy: I dont want to think about it too much since I dont want them to break up and all. I dont want to be one of those girls who breaks up couples… :no:

Dilemma

Current Mood:

Yesterday was the study session with that dude I was talking about in my previous entry. It started at 11:30 am and suppose to end at 5:30 pm since we had booked a study room for those hours only but we ended up staying there until 9pm without have any lunch or anything. I’m surprised that we had alot done except we didnt get a chance to finish it since our java program kept on crashing… There’s obviously wrong with our coding and all which frustrated both of us… :irked: So we just left it at that. We might work on it again I’m not sure.

I also have this dilemma about this damn assignment. The thing is I already have a partner for this assignment and its not this guy but when I helped him yesterday, we had so much done compared to what me and my partner have done so far… In fact my partner plans on putting most of it together himself. So.. Should I tell him that I cant be his partner anymore since I feel bad about not doing anything and tell him that I’ve found somebody else? or just keep being his partner? Hmmm…. :sad:

I dont know what to do.. We’ll see…

The Notebook

Current Mood:

Alright so I had called my partner and told him that somebody supposedly begged me to be their partner and he said its fine for me to be with this new partner. Partner for the assignment not anything else! lol. :-P Anyway, I just finished watching The Notebook. It’s such a sad/romantic movie. I havent cried so much while watching a movie since The Passion of the Christ which made me cry about 98% of the time. The Notebook only made me cry aout 70%. :embarassed: When I first saw Ryan Gosling from Breaker High, I thought he was the biggest dork ever but in this movie, he impressed me. He’s not such a bad actor. Rachel McAdams is great as Allie. I love that girl. She’s awesome and a great actress. She was great in Mean Girls. I thought her acting was so much better than Lindsay Lohan’s acting skills. :slant:

That’s it right now.

Bearded-Lady

Current Mood:

I was working yesterday and this woman came in the store and started complaining to me how one of our signs is half false advertising. The sign says something like Free* (the star information can be found below the sign stating “Buy $25+ and get a egg cup for free”) or buy the cup for $3.50. I do agree that it is false advertising that a regular person will think its free without knowing that you have to purchase something from the store. So she was bitching and complaining to me how the company is putting such false advertising. That her former friend was supposedly dyslexic and she might not have understood that sign since she cant read and all. Then I ask her if she cant read, how does she know its free without reading the word FREE. Well a simple word can be read by a dyslexic person, so she says. Basically she was complaining to me for 5-10 minutes about it while other customers are waiting to be served. There were times when I had to interrupt her and serve the other customers but this woman just didnt give up… :slant: Then she changes the subject about how she had bought a LS cookbook and asked me whether I have it and if I do, have I tried to cook something from it. Blah blah. Basically trying to make convo with me. Then after talking about stupid garbage things, she says “Oh yeah by the way, I’m a lesbian and I was just hitting on you.” :mad: That totally ticked me off. Not because she was gay but the fact that she was hitting on me right after she insults the company that I work. First of, you would think that a gay person would have some kind of a gay-dar or in this case, straight-dar to tell if a person is straight or gay but I guess not after all straight folks have been wrong about people being straight/gay right? Then second, if you want to flirt with me and want me to like you, insulting the company that I work aint going to cut it. You’re just making me mad thus your so-called flirtations just failed. Great way to flirt is NOT to insult their workplace. :sowhat: Thats why she had a beard….(But she had shaved it but I can still see the little hairs and stuff… EW!?? :yuck:

I spent 5 years of my life in an all girls and I’ve never been hit on by a gay person (at least not that I know of) until now…

Wordpress version 1.5

Current Mood:

If I had known that Wordpress had a 1.5 version then I wouldve upgraded it last week since last week was my spring break or what we Canadians call it ‘Reading Week’. A week used to study :read: which I did until it got to Thursday and Friday. Basically I got sick of studying so now I’m lazying around. It might bite me in the ass tomorrow since I have a test first thing in the morning. I didnt study much because I was again lazy and I didnt really feel like it.

For those we were so curious onto my response to the fact that the bearded lady hitting on me, I pretended like I didnt hear it and just said ‘hi’ to the next customer. Thank God there was other customers there besides her. lol :smile:

I’m currently watching the Oscars right now and I just feel so sorry for people who won but gets cut off before saying/finishing their speeches by the damn music. I wish they didnt do that. I also noticed that the theme for the dresses are black… Did someone die or something? :lol:

Bleh nothing much to say except good night @–
