Will I?

It is after 3am here in Nashville. Yet I am awake. Today was my last day working at the mall. I am glad to be out of there. However, I am thankful that I got to work there for a while. My relationship with FYE has been a good one over the years. They have always hired me whenever I needed a job. It's always been a QUICK hire as well. They have always believed in me and shown that in how they've treated me and how they've spoken to me. So that is good.

I got hired at Applebee's. I don't know if it will be better. I don't know if I'll like it. But I took the job because of the interview. I walked in with the suit on. I met one of the managers and it went well right away. None of those multiple choice personality tests. She actually talked to me and asked me questions. See? Personal touch. It's great. Because there aren't always cut and dry responses. We all know this. What else? She took time out to tell me how impressed she was with me just in an interview. I was hired on the spot. Maybe they were desparate. Who cares. The point is, they believed that I could help the company and they didn't B.S. me and make me jump through a bunch of hoops. That's how an interview should go! I either can help or I can't. Make your decision! Don't waste my time! They stepped out in faith and hired me. So that is good. I was so tired of looking for jobs.

Kind of a divine thing, because it was the 2nd place I applied to. The first was Publix who had a computerized application. Well, as I was at the END of the application; the computer quit on me and it was out of order. The people could only say "Sorry" and that I should come back later in the week! No personal anything. What a waste of time! And it really was. I'm not normally a time-stickler. However, I have just been annoyed with job-hunting. I had forgotten what a stress it had been.

Well some people know that I put it out there that I was raising money to buy a new DJ mixer. But lately, I have just been glad that I could pay rent. So it's fitting that no one actually contributed (except for a nice $20 donation from Caryn. Thank you!) because I probably would have used that money to go towards rent (which I actually did, Caryn. Sorry...and THANK YOU). This has been a trying time for me. I had to actually pick which bills I was going to pay. That has been a new experience for me. So hopefully with this new job I can get caught up I am still working the two part time jobs. So I hope that will continue to go well on both ends. And actually it seems like the mixer price is going down because it wasn't in high demand? I don't know. It's on sale right now. But whatever, maybe some time soon I can work that out.

For those of you who pray, please do so for me.

Much love,
Greg
