Aw. Well, if you don't get in this time, try again! It's frustrating, but it seems like they at least want to hire you and you have what they need. So I'm sure you would the second try if not this time. How many positions are offered? In the mean time, are there any related sort of jobs or volunteer work you could try to get into to help with gaining skills?

Since I tend to focus extremely on something, I find it unhealthy for me (and try to work around it, but I can get obsessive). So I've been telling myself when I apply if I don't get in to keep trying, find a different job I'd like, practice skills, volunteer, and try and get into the certificate programs I plan to do. I haven't decided whether to apply this fall or next summer.. Good luck, Arren!

HL: Had a nice chat with my Japanese friend who got accepted into a teaching program. Him being worried he won't get to be an English teacher. He's focused on that goal most of his life but trying to branch out and make sure he can be happy even if he doesn't get the chance to teach. The hiring system is different in Japan, so we talked a lot and I offered some advice, which I guess were the same words his seminar professor gave him. lol I miss him.

HAHALight:

Was at a local store yesterday and saw Lori, a checker who used to be on my girls softball team back when she was 9 or so (around 1984)... she said, Hey, Coach, where's my easter egg? so I bought her a big chocolate one, lol

Another John Denver lyric comes to mind... "Sunshine, on my shoulders, makes me happy..."

HL:
Got rain forecast in the next couple of days here in Southern California,

LL:
the Governor has signed a bill calling for 25% decrease in water usage Statewide because of the drought. Funny thing is, even with all of the vacant housing we have, people are still building new housing???

LL: Feeling pretty stressed out. I need a job that offers more hours.. and I don't think I'll be able to drop one of the small jobs I picked up. I wish full time employment wasn't so difficult to find.. sigh.. I'm just going to be making so little.

Wish my job from last summer could hire me back..

HL: got a lot of projects closer to done today.

I'm still dying at NC's std joke.

HL:
Had an interview with a gentleman (Mike) who I have only read about in our local history. He was born here in 1918 (97 yrs old) and he and his father owned and ran a couple of grocery stores. I even shopped in one before he finally retired and sold it.

My fellow historian and I had a great time and were able to fill in some of the gaps in local history that were missing. Marc (my friend) was somewhat disappointed as he wanted to see more pictures, but I was happy just to be speaking with Mike and his daughter, Margaret. He is quite spry and lucid for one of his years and that is good. He remembers things quite clearly and is able to tell about them. One of the pictures had about 20 men and women in it and he named most of them off with no hesitation.

For me, an enjoyable hour and a half and a promise to get together again soon...

WL: Not sure how, but I make a pretty decent amount in tips. Too bad I don't get to keep it all. lol

I've told my work I can keep working for the year, but I think I might quit around the Christmas holidays/exam season in the fall. I'm going to keep searching for more hours though. I don't want to work New Years. lol I go home that time of the year and most businesses give students that time off. Plus I may have too heavy a work load.

Today went pretty well. Making fewer mistakes. Haven't dropped food or water on people yet. Mostly making mistakes on the cash register. lol

Except the guy I used to have a huge crush on came in. I think he was surprised I was working there. I haven't seen him in a long time.
