So I almost had a Job...

This past Saturday as I was on my way to my weapons class, I was startled by my phone screaming at me (beeping, really) because I had a message. Like, no one calls me, seriously. So to have a message on my cell always scares the crap outta me.

When I had the chance I listened to it, and it was from Five Guys, the human resources department.

What. The. Hell.

I specifically remember putting down on my application to try the home phone first, and no one ever called my home phone. But whatever, I'm desperate, so I call them back.

No answer.

Okay... I called the next day (Sunday) and managed to get an answer. She told me to go in on Monday between two and four in the afternoon and ask for an interview, they just needed one more to be sure. That they definitely wanted to hire me if I was still available.

Awesome.

So I went in and did the interview, and the guy told me he doesn't do the actual hiring, but I could expect to be working either today or tomorrow, and the manager who is in control of the hiring will call me around 5pm to let me know.

I was hecka excited. But I did make sure to tell the guy to call my home phone, just like I informed HR when I returned their call. So by now I've told them three times not to call my cell first.

Well, the call never came. Not to my home phone nor to my cell phone.

I've been in to fill out an application and interview twice. I also sent a resume via email, and called on the phone to land the application process. I made sure to call HR back, even though their message was from Wednesday. And I placed that call twice. I've put enough work into trying to get the job. So when they didn't call me back, I was hecka bummed, and totally through with the shit.

So today I went and picked up applications to Stewarts and will be turning them in tomorrow. I know at least one of them is definitely hiring mornings, so that works for me.

In other news...

This past Saturday in my weapons class I was Queen of the Hill. Not only did I beat down the other two boys that were there, I also beat my sensei. I was the undefeated champion of the day. :3 It was awesome.

I know I know, my sensei was holding back. But I told him to go at what he felt I could handle, and he did pick it up a notch when I started getting points, but then he decided to get fancy to try and trick me and I stabbed him. x3 That was the winning point. Haha. It was pretty awesome.

We also played with sais a little bit, and to do so got to wield a real katana. Not in any fast motion, but the sai doesn't grip to a bokken to show proper technique, so we had to use the katana. Hey, no big deal to me, made the lesson more fun. :3

Then I had my private lesson, and I'm just one move away from attaining my yellow belt. OvO I'm so excited! I'm going to work hecka hard to get that belt, and I decided that night that I would have my black belt by the age of 25. So it's my goal now.

I think the highlight of the private lesson though was when we were grappling, and I tapped him out with a move that is legal, but doesn't exist in any book anywhere. I just made it up on whim and instinct. If I remember completely properly, I got my leg around an arm and baited him with a hand and when he took the wrist I clamped onto his hand with mine and then used my knee as a focus point to strain his arm against. I don't know really, it was queer and I was just running on instinct. xD; But it worked! It worked real well! ROFL

That's about it though. Nothing else interesting really has happened. Worked on my dojo's website a bit, and it's almost complete and ready to be launched in its own domain, so that's cool.

Cleaned my room today, as much as is possible. I'm now pretending my closet does not exist. >.>;

Oh, and I'm fairly sick with who knows what. Some stomach flu. Yay.
