i hate waiting.
so much.
so very very much.
i think i have a job. but there's a chance i fucked it up. if i did, i'll cry.
they said they want to employ me (hooray) but i'd have to start on 1st february (not-so-hooray). i said, i'll try to re-arrange things and all. they also said i COULD start at a later date but they didn't know if it will be 1st march or april, yet. when i got home, i talked to my mum and maja and came to the conclusion that i tell them i don't want to miss the coming events at my old work (yeah, well...). they said they will mail me the new date then. but i'm nervous because i don't know if i have a 100% guarantee that they will employ me after all. maybe they will drop it altogether.
the thing is that this job turned out to be so very very cool. yeah, it's a call center job. yeah, the basic payment isn't too great. but you get extra money for EVERYTHING, they have all sorts of different shifts and i'll actually be given my schedule two weeks in advance, so there's enough time to plan everything around work. the building is still in the crappiest town around here but the area is very very beautiful (i didn't even know something like that existed). they have free parking for employees and the building is hyper-posh. yet, the people aren't. which means i won't have to run around all tarted up all the time. and the HR people which did the job interview were actually IMPRESSED. they said i surprised them a lot during the roleplay. they said i sounded all professional and super-friendly and they couldn't believe i had never worked as a CC-agent before.
actually, i almost feel like "whatever" because this is pretty much a victory already. even if i don't get the job after all, i still know that i did a damn good job at the interview. but i'd still very much like the thought of having a job in a month or two. and a fun one like that would be even nicer.
oh and by the way...i'm sure i will go to hell for this but i feel slightly proud of having found a job (more or less) before annette. she was always so "oh, and i have an interview here and there and blah" and i felt like a loser next to her but maybe concentrating on external job offerings wasn't such a bad idea after all.
