AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!
The Vision Center wants me for the full time Optician job.
9.8/hr speculation until Marla tells me I'm good enough for more
15 min. commute
some paid benefits?
work environment I know I'm going to like
The Cranberry Eagle receptionist/graphic artist position
10/hr
30 min. commute
full benefits
kinda in my field
Both
no room for advancement
probably be happy at either
The truth is the numbers are so damn close and the jobs are on such the same level for me that's it's really hard to pick one or the other. If I go to CE, I'll have to do a lot of menial stuff, but I'll be making ads as well. At VS, there won't be much menial stuff, but I won't be doing anything in my field. It will just be another skill.
Mom says not to worry about it yet because I don't know if they want me back for a second interview. Which is true. Maybe they won't want me and that will be that.
I don't know if I should wish for them to call me or not...
BLAH!!

Punch
Alex is at the Blues Festival at Hartwood Acres right now. It really sucks that he came North for once and I don't even get to see him. I guess I could, but I don't want to pay $25 to get into a festival I'm not going to enjoy. Lame. I wish he would get his driver's license already. I swear he is horrible at making appointments. I should just do it for him and not tell him until we are there. Damn. Even if he can't get a car yet, at least a license would be progress. I hate knowing that he is so close. I can fucking feel the close proximity and it sucks! It would have been better if I thought he was at home. Grrrrrrrr...
It makes me want to hang out with Chelsea or Liv...or punch something. Or cry (same result). It's horrible that I only have two friends from high school left that I actually want to see. And I can't.
Liv will be back in August, but she's going to be sad every time I see her because Harold will still be in Japan. I mean, she was kinda sad last summer because Harold was in Kutztown, but that was different. She got to see him every month, and she wasn't reminded of him by her core passion. Now every time she thinks about Japan or anything Japanese, she's gonna think of him. Which means work for me. But whatever. It's better than nothing.
I kinda want someone to punch me in the face.
Someone should punch me in the face.
But not in the nose.
That would hurt.

Cautiously Optimistic
Things are finally looking up in the job part of my life. Although now they are a little more complicated.
A while ago I changed my preferences on Walmart's WIRE to include positions in the Vision Center. I got a call from them earlier this week for the position of Optician which is full time and at least a 50 cent pay raise (we haven't talked about that yet). I went in for an interview, and before I went home, my interviewer told me she picked me out of the candidates. Awesome, right? At least it's a step in the right direction.
Today when I was driving home from work, I got a call from The Cranberry Eagle (newspaper) about the receptionist/graphic artist position I applied for. Pay is based on experience--I'm going to try to get 25,000--and has almost if not full benefits. And it's a newspaper, so the communication degree might help out a bit. I'd be doing secretary stuff and making ads. This is a much better position for me.
So I am to start at the Vision Center at the end of next week or the beginning of the week after that. They need to find a replacement for me in the meantime. I have an interview with CE on Tuesday. I would really feel bad if CE offered me the job after I've started training for the other job, but I'd really rather work for the newspaper. I know it's a small place, but they are owned by The Butler Eagle, which is bigger in comparison. It'd look much better for me on my resume to have both radio and newspaper positions as opposed to radio and optical. "Optical? Really? How did that one happen?"
So for now, I'm gonna keep quiet and try not to get my hopes up for the Eagle. Worse thing they can do is say they don't want me, and then I can continue working in optical. It's nice to have a fall back full time job.
Oh. The last thing about the job at CE? IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE WOODEN CASTLE IN CRANBERRY PARK. WIN.
