Woo-hoo, take three! (and other stuff)

I had my interview today. It went REALLY good! First I was interviewed by one girl, who gave me the initial green light to be interviewed by someone higher up, who gave me the green light to finish the process with a background check. So as long as I pass the background check I'll start on July 18th. (haha, who are we kidding... I'll be starting on July 18th) :-D

As for the work program (S.C.O.P.E.) I'm not happy with the type of work we're doing (packaging Q-Tips for sale at Target and CVS and packing them in baggies for homeless shelters) I'm easily advancing there. In the beginning, you start off counting and packing the Q-Tips. Then, if you take initiative, you move to weighing the packed Q-Tips, and then finally to sealing the packs which then are put into boxes for shipping. In the 4 days I've been there (not counting orientation) I'm already sealing the packages. Fun, right?

Here are some of the things I've been doing at the Job Center (Thurs, Fri, Mon, and today)

So hopefully glad that I'll be leaving for my job soon!

Also, Little I is not adjusting to going back to daycare very easily. He cries every time I drop him off, and runs to me crying when I pick him up. It's wearing on me, and according to my mom, I'm "spoiling" him now. By spoiling, she must mean the constant holding, cuddling, nursing and responding to his every need like normal. Oh, wait--I did let him have an Oreo as a part of his bedtime snack. Uh-oh, he's spoiled.


Well, it's late and I'm tired and I have to go back to the Job Center tomorrow morning... Goodnight!

Woo-hoo, take two!

So that phone interview I had went really well!

And now I have an on-site interview this coming Tuesday!!!! As Little I says, Hoo-hoo!!!

I'm so nervous EXCITED!!!!

 Now, please pray, cross your fingers, send positive vibes or whatever you do that I get this job. It would be a definite life-saver.

Oh, by the way. Temps here have been NUTS! So here's a photo of Little I enjoying a Popsicle to keep cool. :-)

He loves cherry Popsicles

And he loves playing with them more

Woo-hoo!

Guess who has a job interview! Okay, so it's only a phone interview. However, if I do well on the phone interview, then I get an on site interview. I'm so excited!

It's a good job: Customer Service.

It has great benefits: health, life, dental, disability insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, and 401 (k) with a company match.​ Also, the company pays for lunch on Mondays. :-)

It has good hours: 8am to 5pm for 4 weeks for (paid) training, then 12pm to 9pm (with chances to switch shifts later)


I'm not going to name where it is, but it's a pretty great company to work for. :-) 


I really hope I get this job. Crossing my fingers!
