i just got a job. like just now. i interviewed this morning for a housing job, doing grounds or maintenance or custodial at westmoreland. it was the shortest interview in the world, and i couldn’t tell if it was because i’m extremely unqualified, or because it’s a lame, brainless job, and of course i’m hired, because i’m not brainless. but then i was at work, lala, playing torment and reading the internet and things, and i got a phone call from personnel source that gave me no information but basically she said “please come take an excel test because this job wants you to know excel.” she didn’t really tell me what the job was, when it would start, or how she got my number … so i rode my bike out there to see what was up. they had me take a typing test (71wpm!) and an excel test (71% overall, better than i thought, since that test was the first time i ever used excel, pretty much) and then the lady took me into her office. while she was shuffling papers i saw a printout from monster.com, which is really cool, since i just filled that thing out like two days ago. anyway, she told me they have a position they really need to fill at symantec, and it’s forty hours a week at $9 an hour for four to six weeks, and they would like me to be there at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
!!
this means i have to figure out how to get to symantec.

congrats, lauren!!!!
Yay for Lauren!
If you haven’t seen this yet, check out this bus route. Whew, I don’t think I’ve gotten up that early since Grammar for Journalists.
lauren! you’ve been at your job for *four minutes* now! hope it’s going well! =)
Lauren! I was downloading my Norton Antivirus update and I thought of you! Then, I came here and your thing said you are there! Amazing!
thanks for the bus info, sho. i was somehow only looking at routes called “springfield” or “gateway,” and stupidly ignoring the one called “symantec.” duh.
unfortunately, i can’t stay any later than five if i want to get on that bus. i have to walk like ten minutes to get another one, but it runs more often, so i might do that.
