Interview No. 1

I had an interview with a staffing agency on Monday and I feel like this went well. They told me they liked my qualifications and I really felt like I aced my interview. I think I answered the questions well, especially the one about why I wanted to leave retail. I told her there was a sameness to everything in retail and that I wasn't learning anything.

Although, today, I learned my staff is stupid. My stock girl is in her late thirties, overweight and diabetic. She does not take care of herself. She apparently passed out in the back room. Instead of calling 911, the morons who work there called the store manager. Who lives a half an hour away from the store. It worries me that no one thought that was a bad idea. It's like that guy says in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: "Morons. I've got morons on my team."

Anyway, the interview went well, they sent me some sort of diagnostics test to take (which I will take on a night when I have not had a beer or two) that tells them how well I type and what I can do in Excel. I better talk to Omar first. He does all that stuff for school.

Speaking of which, Omar goes back next week. I decided to go back in January. Last night I stayed at my parents' house after work and I had a dream that I was in French class. So I think I will take the paralegal course and maybe check out a community college's French courses. I'd love to brush up.

Omar told me his company is thinking of opening a London office and that if they do they will probably ask him to do tech support for it. We're totally going if that's the case. We'll throw it all in storage and hope for the best!

And last but not least, Max, thank you.
