Tuesday night was the last performance of American Idol, and the result show if Dancing With the Stars. Since I was finishing up Idol, I didn't get to see the look on Erin Andrews face when she was eliminated. I was so afraid she was going to win. For some reason, I'm just not fond of her. My favorite dancer of the show won the Mirrorball trophy this year...........
I always go for Team Derek. I did like Chad and Cheryl too, but I figured he wouldn't make it. He just couldn't seem to move like he was supposed to consistently.
American Idol also went my way this year. It won't be the same next year with Simon leaving and all. Also, I feel that the more talented people either didn't make it to 24, or were let go early. I liked this boy from day one though.........
He was so shocked. I was hoping he could pull it off. I can't wait to download and hear "Beautiful Day" on the radio.
Remember the post about me hunting for a job this summer? Well, the hunt is over. Last Monday, I put in several different places. On Wednesday, Cato's called me wanting to do paperwork and an interview. I have always wanted to work at Cato's. Before CVS I put in there, and during CVS I asked if Cato's needed an extra person. They never had an opening. Now, the were needing someone. So I was excited. I went Wednesday, did paperwork, interview, and then went home waiting on my background check to come back.
On Friday, I get a call from another place. Somewhere that I knew the manager pretty well. Somewhere that my cousin worked at and really liked it. Somewhere that I already had the experience they were looking for. Somewhere that was offering more money. A whole dollar more than what Cato's was offering. So, he told me to think about it, and let him know this week. I dropped off my application at his store Saturday, and we talked on Monday. Now, yes I have always wanted Cato's. But the way I see it, something has either gotten in the way, or kept me from getting that job. I see this as a way to keep me out for some reason that I would not be aware of until I was working there. I saw this other job as a way to not go with Cato's.
So today was my first day at a local pharmacy. It is not a corporate store. Very family oriented. Many benefits other than insurance and other things people list as "benefits". It didn't really feel like a first day. More like a brush up on skills I gained at CVS. I think my actual learning experience will happen next week. I am a Pharmacy Technician. Cashier. Things that I feel comfortable with. That I have been a part of for a long time. Things that I honestly would like to do over every job that is offered without my degree. Maybe......this is a big maybe......I would do this if I didn't get a teaching job right away. Maybe I have come to like being a Pharmacy Tech. Maybe that is my plan B.
But, like I said, big maybe.
