The conversation in my head.

I can see it now, you all waiting my computers in breathless anticipation to hear about my job interview.

This has been a major concern for everyone, I know.

So let me tell you what this was: It's a Customer Service (CS) Dealers Services position. Basically what I did at Zumiez but BETTER! I wouldn't have to work with customers, just the dealers that carry our stuff. Say whaaaa? No crazy holiday customers? No ruined holidays? Sweet. AbsoLUTEly I'll apply!


Ah, it's true. I do. Mostly I love my people. I don't think they will ever fully comprehend my particular fondness. Such an odd bunch, and there's a special place in my heart for about 97% of them. (Come on, I'm trying to be honest here...) Oh, back the the question. I have been doing this for about 1 year & 8 months. While I enjoy the freedom of my tasks and the amount of books and podcasts I've been able to consume during this time, I'd be okay for a change. BONUS is that if I get a job through OR, I still get my awesome benefits.. Which include my stellar bus pass, health insurance and killer discount. Killer-


Right, right. Attention span. It went well enough. It ran for roughly 40 minutes or so. She had a list of questions, I answered about 85% of them with some poise and others spewed forth nonsense that I realize now was not what she was looking for... but what can you do at this juncturenothing. (Yes, I did intend for that to be one word)

Although the dreaded question of: Where do you see yourself in 5 years... What's a good way to answer that, because exclaiming NOT HERE, is not the way to go...
I answered: surrounded by books. Publishing, library, children's lit.
One way or another, books will be the goal. Always.
*wait, is that a wrong answer??

The question that amused me the most was:
Her: What do you say to a customer if a product isn't available.
Me: Wait, have I made a mistake in this situation? Did something go wrong? Do I need to rectify something?
Her: No, it's just unavailable.
Me: (with no hint of sarcasm at all) Unfortunately that particular product is unavailable. Would you like to add something else instead?
Me thinking: (Okay, really? Is that the worst thing that might happen? Something isn't available?? No ruined Christmas? No swearing customers? That product is unavailable?? What the whaaa?) 

I'm having way too much fun with this post. I should be sleeping. Fool of a Took.

AND I'M OUT!

All is well

Thy will not mine be done...

I'm in a current state of wig. Job interview in 28 minutes. I'm taking ing myself down. Not a big deal. It's just through OR but possible change freaks me out... Besides my people. I love my warehouse people.

It's fine. If I don't, all is well. If I do... It'll work out...

I just don't think it would go over well if I told him:

1- you're alarmingly attractive
Or
2- you smell freaking delicious

That's all.

I'm over people.

I had a realization today. I've been looking so desperately for:

1. A place I can move into alone.
2. A friend that is in a situation that they'd want to or be able to afford to move.

This is why I've decided neither of those things will work.

1. I don't want to do alone but I'm over living in a house of girls. They're all very nice but it's just too many people. Smaller space. Smaller complications. Less miscommunication.

2. I don't need to find a current friend! There are always people coming to Seattle. I can just find someone who's looking for a place and we can find one together. Easy! (easy-err)

January seems like a solid time to move. Yup. Maybe? I think this might be good.

And look, Bekki. I won't be living alone.
