So the last time I was on here was almost nine months ago. I was in a pretty depressed state if you couldn't tell by all the emotional posts. My grandpa ended up dying in Feb 18th, the day after my last post. It was such a rough time. Looking back from then to now I see how much I have grown as a person. I need to teach myself to be happy. If not happy then at least content. Life is such a roller coaster and I realized I'm not the only one who is along for the ride. I mean, I didn't actually realize it just now, I just put it into perspective.
Recently, I have come to terms with something. Don't tell anyone it's a secret: Well I am insecure. I guess posting this on the world wide web isn't really the smartest thing for me to do if I want my "secrets" to not get out. Its not like any one reads this thing so I might as well be honest for my sake. I have a hard time finding good friends. I am the kinda person if you need something no matter what I am there for you. No matter what. I figure that's what good friends do right? Well it seems all of my "friends" that I have seem to not have my back to that extent. Ah! But what ever I really don't wanna talk about that right now. I wanna talk about something happy!!!
WELL..... I QUIT CHICK-FIL-A!!!!! WoOoO!!! hehehe
For those of you who don't know, I worked at CFA for five years of my life. Literally a quarter of my life! And it was horrible. After applying place after place after place, I got an interview with Macy's! The day of my interview I was a wreck. So nervous! I got there a half hour early and as I was entering the building my phone started to ring. It was a private caller and of course what do I do? I answer it. All I heard from that phone call was. "Hi, this is Meredith with Sea World and we would like to set up an interview with you."
Speechless and stunned I managed to find my voice. I said, "Of course I would LOVE an interview! When and where?" Everything was set up but now I needed to focus on the interview at hand with Macy's. And Let me just say I nailed that sucker!
At work later that day, I was on my break and my phone rang. I wasn't expecting a call for a while cause that's usually how long it takes them to decide weather or not they wanna hire you. It was the manager Charolette and she wanted to offer me the job. I was so stoked I of course accepted but problem. I had an interview the next day with Sea World and I like to keep my options open.
Long, long, long story short, I went to my interview the next day at Sea World got lost, went to the wrong office, stumbled over my words during my interview which NEVER happens to me haha So I pretty much thought I didn't get the job with them so I proceeded with my training at Macy's. During my training I was still employed at CFA(but not for long). Weeks pass, literally, so I forgot about Sea World and came to terms with it. Well I was out to lunch with my friend that day and my phone rang. Private number. Picked it up and I heard, "Alyssa, this is Michael from Sea World. We would like to offer you the position that you applied for."
I was beyond ecstatic! Sea World was the primary job that I wanted out of the two and I got it! But there were three problems:
One: Sea World was an hour away from me
Two: The job was only seasonal with a chance of being hired on as Part-time
Three: My car is in no shape for that drive everyday.
...... So I turned it down. I don't regret it I just kinda wish I knew what it would've been like. But now, I am out of CFA, loving my new job at Macy's which is ten min from my house and I work in men's suits. So many great contributing factors to this job.
For the first time in years when people actually ask me how I am doing, I can honestly say,
"I am doing great."
