What a Week
So this week has been pretty crazy, well mainly just this weekend. On Monday I got a phone call to set up a phone interview for a temporary job in Boise with the Department of Education. I had the interview on Tuesday and it went okay. It's hard to tell when you're not in person. They proceeded to tell me that they would let me know yes or no in 48 hours. I never received a phone call telling me either way and now I have two embarrassing phone messages that I hope will not be replied to. On the upside, my roommate from my junior year of college, Virginia, got married on friday and I drove down to her reception in Mapleton, just south of Provo. It was a nice reception and it was fun to see her with her new husband Cameron. They are in Maui right now on their honeymoon. While I was in line at the reception, I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. On the day before, I was looking at BYU-Idaho's Career Navigator and applying for some jobs. I applied for this one job in Hawaii on a whim and that's who was calling me. I talked to a girl for a few minutes and then she handed the phone to the owner/ceo of the company and I talked to him for a little bit. I thought it went surprisingly well. I didn't panic and I was completely myself and the words just flowed from my mouth. I checked my school email today and saw an email from this company from yesterday just asking me some questions to get to know me better. I think it is a good sign, I hope it is. The pay isn't the greatest, but they help pay for housing, they pay for my plane ticket, I get a bus pass and possibly a scholarship (which doesn't really help me, seeing as I am no longer in school). Basically it is between making money and living at home going crazy or moving to Hawaii just to make ends meet for a year. We'll have to see what happens though. Also, I was called to be a teacher in Relief Society and I taught my first lesson today. I didn't think it went that well, but everyone else thought it did. I also washed, used touch-up paint, waxed and vacuumed my car. Waxing was a strangely satisfying experience. I still need to get a picture of my car up on here, maybe next post.

It's funny. I actually think that waxing a car is perhaps one of my least favorite things to do. I hate it with a passion.
ReplyDeleteMan! Hawaii! Even if the pay is tight think what a great experience it would be! Plus it could look good on your resume or open up other opportunities! I'd say go for it.
