My New Job

After I graduated from Texas State this past May, I applied for one job and had a phone interview that didn't go any further.  I was mostly focused on wedding planning which took up much of my time.  I also had the thought that starting a new job right before departing for a week long honeymoon would probably not put me in the new employer's good graces.

Flash forward to post-wedding life, I have been applying for the jobs I'm qualified for and was asked to interview for one a little over a week ago.  I haven't interviewed in person for a job in about six and a half years (the amount of time I've been working at Sam's).  I bought a special professional outfit and professional purse, I practiced answering interview questions, and I thought I was ready.  I was so nervous and feel like I didn't do as well as I could have.  Afterwards, I was thinking it would be amazing if I got the job, but there was probably someone that interviewed much better than I did.

Five days later, my phone was ringing with the number of the person that interviewed me and I immediately thought, "It's so nice that they are calling to tell me I didn't get the job, I was thinking they would just send an email."  Instead, they offered me the job!  It was definitely one of my top ten most awesome days ever.  As soon as I got off the phone, I had uncontrollable happy tears.  I immediately called my husband to share my happiness.  Then, knowing I had to be at work soon, I started writing my resignation letter.  It was a very weird feeling, knowing that I would soon be ending my time at a job I have held for six and a half years with people I see for 30 hours out of every week.  I don't think it will really be real for me until I start my new job.

I couldn't be happier.  First, I graduated from what seemed like an endless school going career.  Then, I married my best friend and soul mate.  Now, I'm starting a career with a wonderful company doing something I already love to do.  I'm finally getting my grown-up, 8:00 to 5:00, Monday through Friday job.  Life is amazing!

Deftones!

My favorite band throughout the better part of middle school and high school was the Deftones.  I adored them and specifically loved Chino Moreno (the lead singer).  Well, last night, I went to a sold out show in San Antonio and saw them for the second time in my life.  The first time was also in San Antonio with my sister way back in 2001.  After 11 years, I am happy to say this time was even better than the first.  They played all of my favorite songs; Digital Bath, Change (in the House of Flies), Passenger, Feiticeira, My Own Summer, Bored, 7 Words, and more.  I went with my awesome friends Lily and Javi and their friend Nina.  It was super fun!  The only thing I would change is having them play a longer set.  It just left me wanting more and completely restarted my mad crush on Chino.  Le sigh.
