Section

Today was an interesting day. I went to my interview, and I'm not sure that it went that well. Not only did the editor interview me, but the marketing manager was also there at the same time. I felt like every question they asked, I gave a crappy answer. They said that I didn't have that much experience, but they can see that I can write. If they want to give me a chance, they said they will first email me a story to work on, but will only give me an hour to write it. They have a special way of writing as it is a council newsletter/newspaper.

So I'm not really expecting a call back, but I suppose there's always hope. The job sounds intense though.

After the interview, I felt like crap. I was going to go hang out with Julia, but then I noticed I had a missed call. A guy from a hotel downtown wanted to interview me. I called him back, and walked straight over to the hotel for an interview. I met Christian (the restuarant and bar manager), Chris (female assistant manager), and Peter (the general manager). The interview lasted all of 15 minutes, but they offered me a job on the spot. They're concerned about the transportation issue b/c the train doesn't run until 6am and doesn't run after 10pm. They said they will probably pay me $12-13 an hour, and sometimes I will be working over 40 hours. I took the job since I need one, but I will continue to look elsewhere.

Now I suppose I have to tell you what the job is...so prepare to laugh. Some education I have. My dad was right. You're now looking at a new cocktail waitress. So sad.

The hotel has a bar in the front and the restaurant is behind it. They wanted me in the bar b/c all 3 commented on my bubbly personality and how outgoing I am. That is the first time I've been described as bubbly, but I'm going to take it as a compliment. I have my trial run on Thursday morning. I have to catch the train at 5:30am to get there in time. Eh.

Well, I am going to try to get to sleep early so I will be ready to go to sleep early tomorrow night. Wish me luck.

Your waitress.
