I just got an amazing phone call from my mother, but I’m not supposed to tell anyone what it’s about but I can’t hold back! I mean, obviously I told Ryan, but I want to tell THE WORLD. But I can’t! So how better to tell a whole shit load of people a secret that no one is supposed to know than anonymously on the internet on a blog that no one knows I have!?
Since I graduated, I have been looking for a job. I want to stay in Newfoundland, which is hard for a tradesperson. Something about me that you guys don’t know is that for two years, I was in the same class as my mom. (I KNOW!) It actually wasn’t as bad as it seems, we get along great.
Anyway, my mom got a job right away and has had steady work in Newfoundland ever since. Meanwhile, I went to work in the crab and then shrimp plants and have sent out over 400 resumes and applications (and I am not exaggerating). So far, I haven’t even gotten a responding e-mail, let alone a call.
So, today my mom calls and says that she was talking to someone she knows who does the hiring for a big company in Newfoundland who is looking for a QC. Well, I’M A QC! So, she gave him my resume and he said HE’S GOING TO CALL ME AND SET UP AN INTERVIEW BECAUSE HE WANTS TO HIRE ME!
I mean, I’m not getting my hopes up or anything because let’s face it, I’ve been burned before. People say a lot of things. Especially in the trades. It’s hard to take anyone on their word because they are so busy that they basically forget about all the resumes and promises that they make to other people. I know it’s a busy industry and I’m not getting my hopes up.
Okay, I can’t help it. My hopes are totally up.
THIS IS ME FREAKING OUT!
I am not leaving my house for anything next week. I swear.
Some Shockin' Good
