I Am The Luckiest Person In The World

Hurrah, whoopee, yay! Huzza, hurray! I have a job!

You might remember that a couple of weeks ago I went on an interview for a part time Customer Service position at one of the area malls. I left the interview with an application to fill out, faxed it back, and didn't think any more about it.

When the phone rang a week ago and someone asked for me with a mangled pronunciation of my name, I thought it was a phone solicitor. Turns out it was the HR office of the company, offering me a position contingent on passing their screenings.

I knew there wasn't anything that would cause me to fail, but I didn't tell people, not wanting to jinx things. Everything went well, though; today I have a meeting with my new supervisor, a team meet and greet tomorrow, and training starting Monday.

  7. Awesome! I had to laugh about the mangled pronunciation. Whenever I don't recognize the number on caller ID, I tend to answer the phone with a suspicious, unfriendly voice . . . and then it turns out to be my pastor or somebody, and I'm suddenly cheerful and warm.

    BTW your blogging comes before your job, so no falling behind on your posting ; )
