Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 3rd 2011)

Well Well Well

1. I interned not 3 times but 4 times last week. The most I have ever done since I began to work this job. I really love it. I dont care if I sit there just reading the news all day and answering the phone. I am just as happy as anything but I am willing to answer phones, listen to story ideas, call people for ideas, watch the shows, sit in on the meetings and HOPEFULLY before this is over do one ride along. Last week I had no ride alongs (even with 2 days and 2 chances) but I went to meetings a few and had so much fun I could hardly stand it. You have to watch me to see the SMILE on my face I look so happy to be doing something that it makes me want to cry to think in a month this could be gone...

2. I had an almost interview last week. I really need a few bad interviews to give me practice but I keep applying and after that whole joke of a job few weeks ago I cant get even an interview from anyone. Doesnt help that I dont want an telemarketing, am iffy on Sales jobs and dont have a lot of experience. I did have this thing on Tue where I went down there to find out you need to pay for their insurance license and a classes. Sure to some $285 and then $300 is pocket change but not to someone who sometimes didnt make that much in one MONTH in retail! I also almost had an interview on Thur but the guy wouldnt get back to me so phone tag just isnt fun. Hopefully next week will be better as I have one set up for Tue at another job. SIGH

3. The 28th of June will always be a sad day to me. It doesnt matter that Princess has been gone for a year and a half or Patches has been gone for nearly 7 yrs. I will always miss our first cats Patches & Princess and the joy they gave us the few precious or even a bit longer yrs they were in our lives. If they were alive they would have turned 19. I cant wait to see them again in heaven. I was just sad when they were separated for so many years by death too soon :(

4. July 3rd is always going to be 2 things. For my mom especially (and my cousins & their father) it is a day to recall Sherry who died on the 3rd of July in 1996 from cancer. I also recall that it was the day 7 yrs ago when Barnes & Noble I worked at closed its doors for good. I loved that store. I was hoping to have stayed with the company and that store a couple more years full time as soon as I graduated college. How ironic the year I graduated May 2004 they closed just a few months later. My still longest job on record and my only 2nd real retail job ever. Always in my heart B&N of Main Place Mall

5. Saturday was the hottest day on record 115 in some places higher. So hot that I decided to go with my sister to her mall. Mistake being 4th of July weekend and it so hot and crowded I had no fun. But before I was only too happy to find some cute shoes (a bit too big but still) at Good Will for half off & a belt. I needed both spent only $6 and I had planned for just shoes $11 so I saved $5 much needed savings :)

Till next week...
