So last month my job gave me two weeks notice because they hired someone to replace me. Sent me to do deliveries a couple times and learned that I was pretty good at it, so they offered me a FT job they originally never mentioned to me. Rather than be out of a job, I took it. It was supposed to be what I did, but ~8am-5pm hours and throw in a few deliveries helping other drivers. Had fun in the beginning (about 3 weeks ago). Last Friday, two drivers quit, so they threw me on a full route. Wasn't happy about that, I've been doing it for a week now and have gotten better at it, but it's not what I want to be doing.
Noticed a job I applied to in February was relisted, and I realllllly wanted it, so I went down there in person yesterday to apply and give another copy of my resume. Figure I'd get "in their faces" and show them by making the time to go there as well I am making a serious attempt to get the job. BF tells me to be present, and "annoying" :lol3: That's how I got my job at the lab in 2006. My job has had me so fed up recently that Monday I started the search again anyway. Not 20 minutes after leaving my resume, the terminal manager called me and said he'd like to interview me and was pretty excited by my resume. Found out my BF's manager and this guy worked together 10 years ago, so I filed away the opportunity to "name drop" in the interview and have an available reference who knows my ability to learn quickly.
Well apparently my Gmail outbox didn't close all the way when I left work. Another manager from another location was there because everything is so messed up at our terminal, and he started snooping through my sent box. Flipped out asking who I was to the night shift guy, and demanded that he take a screen shot of my emails and send them to the upper management. I found out about it this morning when my manager took me aside and asked about it. I saw red. I said to him "Next time you guys want to snoop my personal emails, maybe you should look at the DATES I sent those emails before going crazy sending them to more people who have no business with them. They were sent nearly TWO MONTHS ago, when you guys gave me notice because you began the hiring process for someone else. But since you are so nosy, I DID hear back from a company yesterday and I WILL be talking with them." Apparently one of the other drivers there claimed that I posted all over Facebook that I was going to bring my resume somewhere, which IS NOT all over Facebook. I didn't specify where I was going yesterday or why, he just wanted to stir the pot more. I am so over this place and using me though.
My interview today lasted over two hours. The terminal manager showed me the facility, took me out to show me their big tank lifts since I said I'd never seen such large lifts, and kept referring to the one empty desk as my desk, saying he would move the white board out of my way if I wanted to put other stuff there, etc. Said I was perfectly qualified out of the tons of applicants they had. Said he could really see me in the position and as long as my background check says I'm not a drug smuggler, he believes we could truly benefit each other, etc. Downside is that I have to wait until Monday to hear anything back from him because the corporate office is closed tomorrow. Suspense! I want this sooooo bad. I'm afraid to get too excited, even though he sounded incredibly positive today. He was even talking about transferring me to the New Jersey terminal if I ever wanted to go back home.
Other than that, the dog is driving me up a wall, school is keeping me on my toes because of unorganized teachers, there's more BF-family-drama because of Easter, but I'm totally looking forward to the weekend just to relax, whether or not I partake in the drama or not :lol3: It feels like I never stop these days, and while I LOVE being busy, it stinks waking up in the morning to go somewhere I don't want to go. I'd love a hot tub, unlimited books, and glass (bottle-sized!) of wine. I'd never leave it
Oh yeah, and for those that remember I had the creepy guy at work last time I posted a thread, they fired him, and the girl who kept telling him he had a chance. Not because of his creeper-ness, but because he stunk at his job.
Hope everyone has been doing well and has a great Easter
