I Will Be Both

For the last few weeks I've been working at the grocery store as a cashier. It's been interesting but I don't think I could do it for long. The days go by pretty slow when there's too many people working. It definitely helped to make some money while SEARHC made their decision.

What I get to view for 8 hrs a day for now...

Then a couple days ago I got a call from them saying I got the position! I'm so pumped that I finally got it. I'm also kind of nervous since it's going to be a serious job. I start on Aug 10th and it's about time. Finally, I get to use my degree!

In the mean time I'm gonna have as much fun as I can. Thanks to Abigail and Eli, I now have a good group of friends. Now I don't have to sit at home bored out of my mind! Thanks cousins!

Checker or Counselor...What will I be?

This photo reminded me of the typical one you would see on those pamphlets that say "Do you need help?" or "Are you feeling depressed?" This is where I would come in to save the day!

Yesterday I finally had my interview at Raven's Way to be a counselor trainee. I left feeling confident that I answered honestly and adequately. There was a board of five members that asked me a series of questions dealing with the position and life in general. At first I was nervous but after a while I calmed down.

This is me as a black man working as a checker. Macking on all the hotties that come in the store. "Would you like your receipt or just my number?"

This morning I had an interview at Lakeside Grocery for the checker position. By the end of the interview I had the job. I never thought I'd be this excited to work at a grocery store. I start tomorrow and can't wait to finally get some income again. I let the boss know that I interviewed for Raven's Way but he was cool with it and seemed to understand. At least this way I have a job no matter what happens. There's also an accounting position at the grocery store that he said I may potentially move up to after some time. Having that on my resume would be awesome since that's actually a good paying job.

Now I'm off to celebrate my last day of freedom in the sun. Later I plan to write about one of the five books I'm reading and the wonderful shows I've been watching.
