That's right, it spells JOB. The thing I've been looking for... I just somehow happened to stumble upon two of them today. And the story begins......

Well, a couple months ago (August-ish) I was in Clovis with cousin Patty looking for a job. I applied at numerous places, yet had no luck. I was hoping for a job at Red Robin since I already have experience from when I worked at RR in Tennessee. No calls or anything, so I went back to Bakersfield to try my luck there. Well, it wasn't so great and I've been jobless ever since (besides the NOR volleyball coaching, but I don't count that).

A new Forever 21 store is opening up in the mall this month, so my friend Blake and I went to the open interviews today to see if we could snatch a job. We both went through the process and he was asked to come back at 2 pm- I wasn't :( But I was NOT going to take no for an answer! I went back at 2 with him and somehow ended up getting a job. The only downer is that MANDATORY orientation is on Tues, Nov. 17 @ 10 am. I will not be in town because I committed to being a medical shadow at Camp KEEP Nov. 16-20. I explained that to the people hosting the open interviews and they pretty much gave me a big fat, that sucks. The manager said I could re-apply when I returned from KEEP. This totally bummed me out, I just BS'd my way into this job, and now I'm not even going to be able to do it.... Anyway, so Blake and I leave the mall and go to my last volleyball practice (which got cancelled due to rain-yay!). Right as we were about to leave I got a phone call. It was Red Robin from Clovis. I had put in an app months ago and followed up for a couple weeks before I gave up on them. The guy, Richard, told me he wanted to set up an interview. I explained I would be gone the following week for Camp KEEP, so he set up an interview for Nov. 23 @ 2 pm. I'm really excited considering RR is where I wanted a job in the first place.

The only problem with this whole mess is:
1.) I really want the Forever 21 job since it's in Bakersfield and I wouldn't have to leave my friends...and parents.
2.) I CANT have the job at Forever 21 because I committed to being a medical shadow at Camp KEEP months ago.
3.) I don't want my parents mad at me for wanting the RR job in Clovis.
4.) There shouldn't be any problems...I JUST NEED A JOB!

Besides all of that, I have DEP Commander Call Saturday @ 9 am and my last volleyball game at 12:30. Then all next week I'll be at Camp KEEP!

FAN.FREAKIN.TASTIC.

1.) October 19 @ 11:30..
1. Already missed my curfew.
2. Heading out to a friends house with Blake.
3. GOT PULLED OVER!!
Yes, yes. I blog about it now, more than 2 weeks later because I JUST told my parents about it..must have slipped my mind. Now I sit and wait for the notice to come in the mail informing me of ticket price and court date. So much for not getting in trouble!!

2.) No updates with Air Force, i'm still waiting for my call to tell me when I leavce and what my job will be. I just need to get in shape in stead of sitting on my lazy butt doing nothing all day! Anyone want to be my workout partner?! :)

3.) Also, I am STILL unemployed. I just put in a job application at Big 5 Sporting Goods and Target. Hopefully I can get a job at one of those places!
