Stop the Presses! Top News Story!

Exciting news! Last night I got the phone call I've been hoping for. I officially and finally have a job!!!!! I applied for a position at Bath & Body Works and on Monday I went in for an interview. It was odd because they were doing group interviews so there were 4 of us in there at once all answering the same questions. I tried to answer first or second because by the time the third and forth people are answering they are just repeating the same statements as everyone else or saying "well, basically what they said..." I felt that I did a very good job and when they asked why I want to work at B&BW I didn't say "well, I just really want a job and would love the employee discount." Yes, two people said that. I was honest and said that I wanted to work there because I've been a customer for a really, really long time and like the product and company. Though I totally want the employee discount! hehehe

Here's a masterpiece I created with the paint program of near-future me at work.

Thursday they are having orientation for us new employees from 5 to 9:15. If I remember correctly they hired 20 new people for the holidays. Yes, 2-0 people. Crazy, right? This morning I went over to Old Navy, my favorite clothing store, and bought a couple shirts for work. The dress code is black pants and either a black or white shirt. Since the only black and white tops I have are t-shirts (all my bank clothes were colorful) I needed to get a few tops that I could wear. It worked out well because I had $20 free dollars for Old Navy and they were having a sale on most stuff so I ended up saving a lot of money.

After Old Navy I had to stop at PetSmart (it's on my way home) and give some love to all the kitties there. Since it's the weekend they were also having adoption days and there were two kittens that were so cute! They had the poofy kitten fur and big eyes I just wanted to smuggle them home in my sweatshirt. Last time I was there they had an orange tabby with 6 toes, I named him Hemmingway, but he was gone today so I hope he found a home. Yes, I name the cats that I don't own. He had a silly name so this was a total upgrade. There is a certain cat there that I have fallen in love with. Her name is Sweet Pea and she's a tabby but I think she looks like a jungle cat and want to name her Bagheera. She's been there for weeks and I would bring her home in a heartbeat but I have to save up money for a pet deposit, her adoption fee, supplies, and her first month's rent. Really, it's the pet deposit that's stopping me. I'm thinking about asking the office if I can pay the deposit in installments. I just can't see myself writing them a check for $300 anytime soon. Untill then, I visit her and give her loves.

Better go, I have laundry to fold before it gets even more wrinkly.
Loves.

Congrats on the new job. I know the comment is a little late so hopefully they haven't fired you for gross incompetence yet. :)
