Good leads 11/17/2003
After checking some more of Strong Bad's email responses on HomeStarRunner.com, my mom came in with the classified ads with a few of them circled. 2 were for Hynix and one was for Symantec. One for Hynix was an entry-level position making chips and the other was for a technicion to repair computers for the facility, something that I've been studying for and the same type of thing that I did in high school for Mr. Osborn in the media center. My mom thought that it sounded too complex for me, but after I read it, I said that it's exactly the job I'm looking for. It asks for 5 years experience, but I'm still going to try.

The one for Symantec was at a job fair at Personnel Source. I got directions for Personnel Source and Monaco Coach Corporation. I printed up my resume and set off for Personnel Source first, since they closed sooner. The one for Hynix requires that I email my resume and cover letter, so I can do that any time in the day.

At Personnel Source, the lady at the counter asked what I was there for and I had to sign in and she asked if I had my resume. She gave me an application and I had to go sit in a desk with a really small writing surface to fill it out. Once I was done, I gave it to her and she said that all the positions for the first wave have been filled, but there will be a second wave and I'll get a call in 5-7 days about it. That's cool.

The directions for Monaco traveled into more unfamiliar territory for me, and it didn't help that the directions weren't completely accurate. They said to take the Beltline and get off at the I-5 exit. I was to take the 5 freeway to an overpass and after it, there would be an intersection and I was to turn right. That sounds easy enough. The problem was that there was no overpass. There was a hill, which is obviously what the lady who told my mom meant, and you could turn right or left or go straight at the top of it, but there was no intersection after the hill. I called my mom on her cell phone and asked her about it and she said that she guesses I should've taken the one at the top of the hill. I just had to get on the other side of the freeway that was going the other way. An exit didn't come for 10 miles and my gas meter was pointing from 0-2. I finally got off the freeway and turned around and had to go another 10 miles to get back to the hill. The only problem was that the hill wasn't accessible going the other way. I just headed for familiar territory and decided to start all over after I got some gas.

The road took me to Coburg, and wouldn't you know it, that's where I was trying to get to all along since that's where Monaco is. I found the place and turned in my application and then drove, hoping I'd find something that led me back to where I knew. I passed Cresent St. and turned down another street to turn around so I could go down that. Wal-Mart is on Cresent and so is a Chevron. I needed gas, plus I know how to get home from Wal-Mart, so I filled up my tank and then headed home. It was rainy all day. I better go now since Amy's waiting for me to finish this so she can start the X-Files movie that she begged me to rent for her. I haven't seen it for a long time and don't remember anything about it, so I'm going to go watch it. Wish me luck with my jobs!

Good luck with your jobs!
They'd be insane not to hire you!
Yea, just 'cause something rhymes, doesn't mean it counts
I'm hoping that the "unidentified" goodness turns out to be... well, in my favor
I am due for some happiness
It would be nice, anyway

Oy. Wow... job oppurtunities! I need some of those, just without the computer involvement. Good luck and I hope you get the one you really want.

Ug. Haven't talked to you in forever! Or so it seems. Guess it hasn't really been too long, but anywho... get online and talk to me or I'll spork you!

^_^

PS: I didn't know you were into Strong Bad and Homestar Runner! When I told Curtis about 8-bit theater he wouldn't read it, cause he said Homestar Runner was better cause it was animated. I read some of Strong Bad's emails. I still like 8-bit theater better! :P
