Wow. . . really? Cool!!!

The last time I posted something, it was basically just a vent session about me "working for free"over at Portrait Kitchens. But it seem that I have done at least SOMETHING right in the past few days.

I actually was hired by 2 different places yesterday. The first place wasn't really THAT big of a deal. . . I love working over at Portrait Kitchens, it's just hard to pay the bills with . . . nothing. Well, I went an kinda told my boss everything that has been going on in my life(and all the bills I can't pay with my "unemployment" check) and asked him if there was any way at all that I could be paid an hourly wage. . . instead of full commission.

He came back the next morning with the offer of $10/hr plus 10% commissions!!! I was so happy!

The other job was kind of a total shock. I've been applying online for jobs for almost a year. I've even emailed my resume to radio stations before, but I must have done something right.

This past Sunday evening I was online looking for jobs. Then I finally got this great idea. I've been hearing a lot lately that one of the local broadcasting companies needing sales people. So I (in my infinite wisdom) decided to email EVERYONE that I could find that worked for this broadcasting company.

Monday I stayed home from work with my sick little girl. (Not to mention the lack of drive I had that morning to even get out of bed and go to work) I was so bummed out when my Hotmail account wouldn't receive new emails. So, here I had just sent off 8 emails to different people, but they couldn't respond back to me (or rather they could, but I wouldn't know). I had just about given up.

Then Tuesday morning I get a call from one of the guys over one of the radio stations telling me they are looking to hire for a "board op" position. He asked me if I was free for an interview. I set the interview up for noon that same day. He gave me the grand tour of the building and introduced me to most of the people that work there.

I love this! I have my first day tomorrow morning at 10 to be "trained" on how to use the equipment for live remote broadcasts. Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that I'll do well at this job!!!

Later,
