Job interview follow-up!

So as I wrote before ... I got a second interview with that job I interviewed with. It was an all day shadow like interview. At this point all I know about the job is that it involves customer retention and customer service for AT&T and that it is NOT telemarketing...which is a big selling point for me. Anyhow, I show up at the office and I get paired up with a guy named Mike who is who I will be spending the day with. GREAT! So we got in his car and start driving around. So at this point I am a little nervous because I have absolutely no idea where I am and if anything were to happen with this complete stranger I would be screwed! So we are driving around and he is telling me about the company... blah blah blah. So I thought I heard him say something about appointments with clients. Boy was I wrong!
We pull into an apartment complex.... and start going door to door! For hours! I was so angry because this is totally NOT what I had in mind! To add to it... It was really cold and raining!
So by the end of the day he asked me what I thought about it and I very politely said, "It's just not for me but thanks so much for the learning experience."

Black Friday

Black Friday was a success! Although we didn't do a whole lot of shopping ourselves we still got out to the stores and I am a little surprised to say this but it was fun! There was christmas music playing and it was cold outside... It really felt like the holidays. The picture to the right is of Brandon and I shopping. We got a little crazy and bored and took some fun pictures in the christmas department at Sears!
DAY OF FUN WOO HOO!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I hope everyones thanksgiving is going great....
I have to say it's a little bittersweet to me. It has been somewhat of a rough day just because this is the first holiday away from my family :( Although I love Brandon and his family it is just not the same.
Well on a slightly happier note...tomorrow is the first black friday in which I won't be working retail! I am thrilled and a little weirded out at the same time. I am so used to waking up at the crack of dawn and heading off to work and having to deal with crazy, annoying people all day... Well tomorrow I get to be one of those crazy, annoying people! I don't know how long I will actually last in the madness but it will my first time on the other side!
Wish me luck!
LOTs of LOVE!

Job Interview Follow up!

So I went to that job interview today... and it went well! I got called for a second interview! That's always a good sign. My second interview is pretty much a full day of work. I will be shadowing someone at the office and they will better explain to me what the job entails. So I will be going in Monday 11-6:30!
I am excited but a bit nervous. I hope I like it and I hope it doesn't turn out to be any form of telemarketing!
Lots of Love!
P.S. A side note- I also drove to the interview all by myself! I was proud of me since I have only been here a week and I don't really know my way around!
Kudos for me!

So this is Tennessee! I am still really amazed at all the different colors that trees turn!
Anyway, I have job interview tomorrow and I hope it goes well... Part of me wants to get out there and work but another side of me is scared to go out into the world because it is all so new to me.
So far my days have consisted of the typical household chores.... laundry, cooking, cleaning etc... I figure since I don't have a job it's the least I should do. I am also afraid to get this job because this is the first job I have applied for that has to do with my degree! What if I am not good at it! It's just nerves I am sure and it will all be fine once I get in there.... hopfully!
