Back once again...
The last entry was made by Robert himself (as if you couldn't tell) ...and I haven't written after that (if that wasn't obvious either). So much has happened I won't even try to start from the day after he wrote that entry.
Let's see... what happened today. Ah yes, I got a cell phone. My own cellphone. ..and the plan is under my name. So miss a payment and there goes my credit, hello real world! :) Oh I guess it'll be appropriate to tell you how I am able to afford this.
On June 19, 2006, (Monday) I decided to post an AD at http://www.craigslist.com stating that I am a graduate with little experience and looking for a job. Some hours later I get an email from a director of Office Broker. They are a big company in the UK and they've just opened a new branch here in the US. Anyway, yeah he emailed me asking when I'd be available to do a phone interview. I told him that I'd be available anytime. ...and he suggested 5 O'clock that same day. So we had the phone interview. Near the end of the phone call he told me that I should expect a call back from him some time the week after next week because he's going on vacation next week. Tuesday I went to take my accuplacer test for college and when my dad went to pick me up he told me that I got a call asking for a face-to-face interview. Yep, turns out he changed his mind and wanted an interview sooner than expected. So Tuesday afternoon at 4 something he called and we set up a meeting for 2 o'clock the following day. So Wednesday I went in to the office suite on the 3rd floor. I was actually a bit early maybe like 1:30 I was there already. So we had the interview and he asked me to fill out a job application. I only filled in the critical info like my full name, social security number, home phone, etc... As for my experience, skills, and other stuff I told him that I'd just foward my resume since it's all there. He said that he still had a few more interviews to do that day and the next day but he should be able to make a decision by the next day and I should expect to hear from him then with his decision. So before 3 o'clock the next day I got his call telling me that Office Broker has hired me.
So Monday, it will be my first day as an Administrative Assistant.
