@Kozi: I just called and checked on my first 3 applications. And my first one wants a phone call/interview-ish thing at 1 today. o3o"
oh man. nervous/excited and scared because the drive to get to that job is a bit far.

@Koah: Ohh, nice! That's a good sign.
Even if the drive is a bit far,
it might allow you some elbow room to look for something else while you have something for the time being.

@Kozi: definitely what I'm thinking. However this job opportunity is a very classy one and has wiggle room for pay raises over time. And hella awesome benefits. <.<'''
but I'll see how this goes in the interview.

My husband has been filling out applications too- so it's almost like a race of who gets work first. cx

Aaaah. poopy. The ideal job at the fancy place promoted an employee from within. [understandable but I'm disappointed].
They asked if I'm interested in the position that that employee leaves open, which is basically just cashier work and part time.

That's probably not worth the drive there. :\
But I have an official interview on friday for them nontheless.

And everywhere else I called to check on my resume/application- were all "there's a lot of applications to sort through, so we'll call you if you fit the need" -shrugs- OTL

I hate this. XD

@Ruby: yesterday was an emotional rollercoaster.
I do have two job interviews on Friday though. :o /pretty nervous about.

unfortunately my car is still not working. It got a new engine and now there's probably a wiring issue. OTL
My truck is a gas hog. /sigh/

Good luck!

I don't have any pets, but I do keep a menagerie of stuffed animal friends.

@Alchemists Fire: I've worked retail in Many places. But pet retail is insane. ^^'
Employees are 100% expected to answer obscure vet-like questions. Of course lots of dogs and few kitties come in daily. I get to pet all the pets. Cx
But yeah. I need to specifically train to understand dog foods. Specialized treats. Animal body parts. Customer service. Etc. Very niche retail field.
(Gotta admitt that im not feeling confident here)

@Koah: Ah, well at least that means some of the customer service stuff you've already got under your belt, but learning the specifics of this place might be a hurdle or two.
Are your coworkers at least being helpful?

Honestly...even if everything else sucks, I feel like getting to pet all the pets would make it pretty worth it?

Oh and I just realized I completely space and forgot to reply to your post about the "waaah-bulance" husky xD
I...don't know if I could pick a favourite from my plushie collection. It's a rather large collection (I call it a plushie zoo), and I have so many favourites xDD
The bear my dad got my for my birthday a couple years ago might win though, I'll have to get a photo of him. His name is Philbin, and he has beans!
