3 Job Interviews

Current Mood:

It was raining cats and dog today so basically at 10 am it looked like 7 pm. :slant: It was a shitty day and I think it was a sign because I had a job interview today… It went okay except for the end when she asked me for a reference. I gave her that and she had asked for another one… I didnt have a second reference. I couldnt even get a first one… Now I’m in shit. I’m in real desperate help considering how I cant contact Blue Jays since the baseball season are now over… This really sucks.. So there goes a job opportunity for Christmas. It does suck ass… :no: The other interviews that I went yesterday was a-ok. The first one was the worst yet since it was a group interview. I didnt expect it to be one so I know that I didnt get that job anyway. There was 3 of us and one of the girls totally kicked our butts. She had worked for Royal Bank & Hudson’s Bay Company (a department store). Her answers were excellent and once the interviewer hears a good answer.. what else is there to say from the other 2 applicants?? :look: The second one was a little better. She was nice. It was one on one except I felt that I was blabbing a bit. I hope that I get a call from that one. I really dont know what to expect. It’s been nerve wrecking these past few days and all. I’m glad I’m over with the interviews. If I dont hear from all three of them by Friday then I’m off to another job hunting day probably on Saturday. I’m not sure yet…

No longer jobless

Current Mood:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jump: I just have to add that since today is definitely one of the best days ever! :excited: To some people it may not be a big deal but it definitely is for me….. It started off as me getting a 94% in my assignment for CPS311 (which is a difficult course) and then finding out later on that I got 22.95 out of 30 in the midterm test for that same class. The test was out of 50 so that wouldve meant that I failed but the Prof was nice enough to make it out of 30 since it was a difficult midterm test. And I know that most people failed. The average was 19 and the lowest mark was 9.9… So I’m definitely relieved that I was over the class average and that I didnt fail like I thought I did.

Then last night, I had heard from one of the stores that I went to have an interview for on Tuesday & Wednesday. She had left a message saying to call her back. I wasnt sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. I did give her my reference and I didnt think that was good enough for her but if she needed a second reference she wouldve stated that in the voice mail which she didnt.. So I was pretty nervous on calling her today since I didnt want that to ruin my day if I didnt the job… So after math… After not understanding -26 mod 17.. :freak: I finally called her and expected the worst news that she had wanted a second reference. All I know is that if she decided to not hire me, she wouldnt call me at all. So I called her and she told me that I’m a part of the Smart Set team!!!!! :jump: I’m so damn excited that I’m no longer jobless starting at Monday. I’m finally working in retail. It is only a seasonal job but I do hope to stay a little longer. She had stated that if I do well, I might stay longer. ;P The only bad thing about starting on Monday is the fact that I have a test on Tuesday but I couldnt say to the opportunity. I definitely couldnt… I dont know what to expect since I’ve never worked in retail except for selling food. But yeah.. I’m so lucky that I got this and we’ll see on Monday how this turns out.. :grin:

Cautionary Tale

Current Mood:

Alot has happened over these past few days… First of, Monday was my first day at work… I was in training and there was another girl also in training so I didnt feel so weird about that. I did screw up on my first ever refund though. Totally embarassing… :embarass: Instead of refunding the sweater the guy bought, I ended up charging him another sweater. I thought I knew what I was doing but I guess not.. Just doing a refund is so complicating… :slant: But my boss said it was okay. It is after all my first ever transaction – a refund. Then a few hours later, I sold my first sweater to a lady. I didnt make a mistake on that one. :wink: So that was good. My working this Friday so I’m glad I have Tuesday through Thursday off.

Then Tuesday was the math test which I was dreading. The night before I didnt sleep until 1: 30 am… and I had decided to skip my C class so that I could prepare myself for math… I thought the test was okay.. Then if I say that I know I did worse than okay.. I’ll just have to wait and see when I get my marks back…

Then today I was in the subway walking to my seat and I had accidentally touched this womans foot. I had said sorry then sat down. Then she barks at me saying ‘Maybe next time you should watch where youre walking’. :sowhat: I said to her, “I said sorry”. She said, “Thats not the point.” I said, “It wasnt on purpose.” She said, “Again thats not the point”. I didnt want to say anything after that since the subway was filled with people. But since I’m a nice person and all, I just left it at that. That really put me in a shitty mood to school. This woman was fairly large.. If she wasnt so large and 10 times my size, I wouldve said something more to her. :mad: Maybe if she wasnt so fucking fat and taking up all the damn space, I wouldnt have touched her fucking foot. Like I said, it wasnt done on purpose thus an accident. I’m not perfect so its not like I can see everything and do everything right. She most likely woke up on the wrong side of the bed, that fatass… :rude: I dont need to take this shit from anybody. Again if it wasnt the fucking subway I wouldve said that to her… I dont know whether shes so fucking bitter about being so fucking fat that she had to take it up on me… So yeah.. Any large people reading this should realize to take it easy and not bitch to those who ACCIDENTALLY touched your fucking foot. :devil:

Egos as high as the Eiffel Tower

Current Mood:

Alright so this week is pretty damn fucking hectic I cant wait for this semester to be over and done with. First of, I have this 2 assignments due this Tuesday and another 2 this Friday. The first 2 is a group assignment which consists of the same people except for one of them. I dont like C programming. That’s a given to me. I dont want to have to deal with that language ever in my life. After this semester I hope that that is it for C. So 1 guy says he’ll do the whole C assignment.. Then another guy said he’ll do it. So the first guy said that he and the 2nd guy made a dealthat the 2nd guy do C and the first do the SmallTalk assignment. SmallTalk is another computer language. I would rather do that one than C. So considering how guys have huge egos up their asses both guys decided that they want to do the assignment all to themselves. Personally I think that they dont trust us women. Just because we’re women that doesnt mean we dont know anything. :pissed: Then last night I talked to the 2nd guy and asked me how the C assignment was going… I was pretty surprised because I thought he was doing it and that he had made a deal with the first guy… Apparently thats not true.. They didnt make any deal at all… :no: Fuckers…. Now we are totally screwed over… So I emailed the 2nd guy and told him to send me the SmallTalk assignment since I want to do it while they decide on how to do this stupid C assignment. I swear next time I work with big-headed guys I will have to remind myself that I wont let them do it all… :mad: It’s definitely frustrating when people say they’ll do something when it turns out its totally wrong.. Talk about miscommunication… :yuck: This adds to the other stressful thing that I’ve been dealing with which cant be mentioned here.. Yet..

The day I didnt work and I was glad.

Current Mood:

So I thought I was going to work tonight. They had schedule me “on call” but I call them not the other way around. I was really hoping that they dont need me at the store and thankfully when I called, its pretty dead there. So the weather helped a bit. When it rains, people tend to stay at home and not go anywhere else. Tonight is all about that proposal that I have to redo because of my stupid Prof who thought I plagiarized the first one. I dont want to go into detail about that since I cried last week and this week about that situation. :slant:

Tonight my grandma and cousin is going to the Philippines for Xmas holidays. I’m so jealous indeed. :embarass: I havent been back home since I left when I was 10.. That’s 11 years ago.. Xmas there is so much better because they have fireworks. Yes they have presents here and in the Philippines, people are too poor to afford gifts. I didnt really care about those things when I was small. To me, the fireworks and food was good enough. :smile:

Interesting riddle for the day: Are YOU a Psychopath?
