whoooo job!

my first day of training in san fran went good today! i think it's going to be a fun job! i'm pretty much learning how to be an accountant. i was entering invoices and a bunch of random other crap! but it wasn't too bad. the lady that's training me is a 30 year old black woman, married, and has a kid, and is trying to finish school while working this full time job. it makes me glad that i had the opportunity to finish college at a young age! thanks mom and dad :)

i really don't mind waking up early to go to work. it's weird. like of course i get tired near the end of the work day, but i like waking up early and doing something productive! it was fun taking the bart into the city today. i felt like a real working woman! it wasn't too bad of a commute, about 30 minutes. while i was waiting to get picked up by the woman i got asked directions by like 3 people and i could actually answer 2 of them. haha. i don't think i would mind working in the city. it's fast paced and i love it! the only semi annoying thing is how many tourists there are!! i'm sure it will die down though once summer is over. it's funny though thinking back that just a few years ago we were out here in san fran visiting and doing all the tourists stuff and now i'm living here! i'm still in shock that i live in california. i wonder when that will ever set in.. haha.

tory's roommate steve is going to australia tomorrow. i am so jealous! he's going to be gone for two weeks! not fair!! i want to go to australia so bad!! but ... i am a working woman now! so i am definitely verrrrry happy about that!! well i think i'll have to wake up tomorrow at about 7:00am again. merrrrr. but.. i don't mind. tory on the other hand has woke up late the past few days because i haven't been here to shake him awake. hahaha. he's a silly boy. :)

grrrrreat weekend!!

this weekend was awesome!! i found out that i got a job and got to spend a nice weekend with tory and his parents! i had so much fun!! saturday we spent in the city (san francisco)! we drove around and ate at the cliff house. then we walked around fisherman's wharf, which was fun! i have so much fun with tory and his parents! i wish they didn't have to leave today :( sunday we went to this kite festival thingy, it was really neat to see so many kites, and especially ones that were so big!! the picture is from the kite festival, thanks beth for taking such a great picture!!

i start my job on wednesday! i will be training in the city for wed-fri and then again mon-tues and spending saturday in my office!! i am pumped! and i think this job will be a good learning experience! i can't wait to meet laura's little doggie, theo! he is soo cute!! i hope everyone else had a good weekend!!

I GOT A FULL TIME JOB!!!

so the job interview went good!  it lasted an hour so i figured that i was being considered for the position!  so anywho, i ended up getting a phone call from the guy yesterday while i was eating with tory and his parents (they are in visiting for the weekend!!) and he offered me the job!!  whoo hooooooo!!!  i am soooooo excited about having a full time job!  it will be gloooorious!  i went in last night to have my last night at jupiter as a hostess.  i had to quit on the spot because i will be starting monday and will not really know when i will be able to work at jupiter again. 

anywho, i will be working for this food company called sodexho for uc berkeley. i will be an administrative assistant helping to coordinate groups to volunteer at football, basketball, baseball, rugby, etc. games for uc berkeley! whoooooo! i am pumped!!  among other administrative tasks.  the guy explained to me that i will be one of four people that is in charge of everyone else.. so i think this will be a learning experience!  i will let you all know what kind of salary i will be looking at as well as benefits!!  hopefully, this job will be snazzy!!

wahoooo!

so tomorrow i have a job interview for sodexo uc berkeley! i can't remember what exactly i would be doing.. but i am excited!! i really hope it's something that could lead to something else and that i get it! i would really like to have a full time job! and especially on uc berkeley campus, that would be awessssome! i would probably even be able to get a gym pass!! whoo hoo!!! i think what i remember from the job description was that i would be helping to coordinate events and certain things for uc berkeley sports teams in the process of assisting someone? but i could be wrong. either way i'm just excited to have a job interview!!! i will let you all know all the details!!

i hope you had a happy 20th birthday yesterday sarah!! wish i could've been there to celebrate!! love and miss you all!!!

dum dee dum

well it was an interesting weekend. nothing really fun happened. just worked all weekend. i was verrry tired by saturday night.

i'm really glad mom's surgery went well. i just wish she wasn't in so much pain :( and i'm really reallllly glad that the cysts weren't cancerous.

i got invited to go play pool with the other hostess tonight in about an hour, so that should be fun! it will be nice to hang out with some girls, especially outside of work! i got a haircut today and it's totally not even. hmph. ohhhh well. i really hope that i find a full time job soon! i'm too bored on my days off and i would much rather be working 9-5 than 5-12. hmmm.. i guess we will see!

i'm pretty upset right now. i just don't get boys... at all..

hmm

so, i went to the interview and it went fine. they wanted me to come in for a day on the job. but after thinking about it i decided that the place was too far away, so i decided to not do it. it would turn out to be like an hour and a half of commuting just one way, so three hours in all and i just don't think i would enjoy that. plus, i'm not really up for selling things. i would rather just have a job with a salary and experience that will ultimately lead to a job in the film industry. so, oh well. hopefully soon though i will have another chance at a full time job! i'm still applying like crazy. it's getting sorta boring. oh well.

work is awesome on the other hand. i really like it. i'm finally getting comfortable around the people and with the work so i am starting to be myself, which is nice. it's really fun and not too bad. i am really hoping that after a month or so i will be able to start running food or bar backing. that would be awesome. i like having a job. i would like to have a full time job even more though!!

holy crapola

i have a job interview with this marketing/ad company at 10:30am tomorrow morning! ahhhhh!!!! i don't think i'm ready!! crapppppp!!! it's not in berkeley, which sucks, but i would be able to commute by bart. it would take about an hour each way everyday though. we'll see how it goes!! hmmm. well, here is their website if you want to look at it: www.KineticSF.com

good weekend!

this weekend was fun! friday night was fun. i hung out with the boys: tory, steve, and phil. it's always fun hanging out with them. although, i cannot wait for paige (steve's girlfriend) to get out here, so i'll have another girl to chit chat with! i hope she is nice and all that jazz.

saturday was nice and relaxing. tory, steve, phil and myself went to san fran to watch some fireworks. they weren't anything special after seeing thunder over louisville, and they didn't last too long either. the bus ride back was ridiculous. i really thought someone was going to die. we were waiting to get on the bus and people were like shoving you foreward. it was scary. hopefully next year we can do something more laid back like go camping! that sounds promising!

i had a hostess meeting today at 3pm. it went fine. i pretty much just sat there the entire time. i can't wait to get comfortable with working there. i hate feeling awkward when i walk into a place! but i'm sure it will go away soon! tory has shoots from 4pm-4am yesterday and today, so that sorta sucks! that would really mess up my sleep! i hope everyone had a fun and safe fourth!!

i love my job!

so i had my first day of work last night and it was AWESOME. i loooove it! it's nice and easy which is a nice transition back into the working world. i'm sure it will be a lot crazier on friday and saturday nights. i caught on really fast, i know the tables and layout. i'm going to have to start memorizing the menu which shouldn't be too bad, they just have crazy names for pizza's so it will take some time. once i get the menu down and all that jazz i should be able to move up probably in about a month or two to running food or bar backing which would be awesome. i would love to bar back and especially there.. i would easily make enough money for rent i'm sure of it. what's nice is they gave me off the rest of the week, so i have this weekend free which is awesome because i really want to do something fun for the fourth! so my first full wed-sat is next week. the girls i work up front with are super nice and easy to talk to. the servers and everyone else for that matter is awesome. everyone was really welcoming and wanted to meet me, it was nice! what's even cooler is when you get off a shift you get $10 worth of free food (i'm going to gain so much weight) annnnd you get two free pints of beer!!!! and their beer is amaaaaazing since they have their own beer garden and everything! it felt so great to be working and doing something besides sitting around last night.. that's for sure. i can really tell a difference. i woke up this morning soooo happy. i'm really glad to be working!! i can't wait to do more!! ohh and it was sooooo nice because tory, steve, and phil came in last night to eat while i was working and waited for me to get off!! the other hostesses were envious :) i sat them upstairs and when i came back down they were like "your boyfriend is soooo cute!" i was like yes, i know :) hahaha. i had no idea that they were going to come so it really made the rest of the night go fast!! i loooove my job and boyfriend!

i am soooooo happy right now. i love it here. i love having a job. i love being in the same time zone as tory. haha. things are going really good right now, if only i could acquire a full time job that would be amaaaaazing. hopefully sometime soon!

i'm so excited to celebrate the fourth of july here! i really wanted to go camping, but i don't think that's going to happen. i think tory said something about going to the city (san fran) and fisherman's wharf. they have a fireworks show there or something. that could be fun! i hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!! i miss you all!! :)
