Second Interview!

I worked my butt off yesterday and today at my little insignificant campus bookstore job. I can't stand to be bored, I can't stand to watch the minutes drag by at work, and I can't stand laziness (unless you are acting that way by yourself, or with your loved ones, when nothing else important is being ignored). Since I used to be in a position to tell people what to do when they were just standing around doing nothing, I find it exceptionally hard to just watch while my lazy co-workers do nothing.

But as soon as the supervisor walked in today, over four hours after I had gotten there, put myself to work, and got a million things straightened up and stuff, I told him that as soon as he was ready to send someone home early (Since the "rush" is pretty much nonexistent now. They don't seem to get how many people buy their books online.), I was claiming first in line.

Lucky for me, I got to head home before 2, instead of 4:30, and upon arriving home, I was greeted by the lovely flashing "1" on my answering machine.

A message! And just when I am waiting to hear back from the job people! Yay!!!

Sure enough, it was one of the women that I interviewed with on Tuesday, asking me to come in and speak with the Senior Asset Manager. Yippeee!!!! I am obviously thrilled. She did say that they are "just starting their second interviews." Which means competition. But I have until next Friday to prepare. And prepare I must, because this guy is kind of a big deal when it comes to development. You may be familiar with this development (and my feelings on it, but that's a whole other story). Well this guy is also a Senior Vice President with the developer of that project, and he was apparently in charge of developing, leasing, and managing the whole shebang. Kind of a big deal.

Yes, I am nervous. But I have confidence in myself, and I have tons of drive to get this job. It feels so different than when I was interviewing the last time. I actually think this could lead somewhere meaningful for my career, not just be one of those "get some experience on my resume, whatever it is" jobs.

And since next week is the last week I am working at the bookstore, I will be VERY ready to start a real job again, with a real paycheck. Not going to school gives me way more time to sit around my apartment, which means way more time for me to think about everything I want to change, and everything I want to buy. But until then, I'm stuck pining away over my Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn catalogs. ;)
