a bunch of new stuff to announce.

i made the abrupt (but completely welcome) transition from fast-food to temp earlier this week. i had an interview on monday for the job. the interview itself was nerve-wracking, because i had to take several aptitude tests on Word, Excel, Word Perfect, and several desktop publishing programs. those were no problem. what made it stressful was that i was in a tiny, soundproof room with only one door and one, blatently two-way, mirrour that was also a window into another room. and i had the distinct feeling that i was being "studied." it was unnerving. the final part was sortof funny though. notepad opened up in front of me, and i found myself staring at a blinking cursour. i had no idea what to do. there was a sheet of paper next to me that was an essay about creativity, and how to become inspired. the wording made me think that i was supposed to write a response, so that's what i did. it was pretty nifty writing, i think. anyway, i finished and i knocked on the mirrour/window, and a lady opened it up and took my test results.

she got down to the final essay part and said to me, "well, something's not right here. this says you made four hundred eighty-four errours." i was confused, so i asked her what i was supposed to do. "you were supposed to type up the sheet of paper next to the computer." that made more sense. so i went back and did that. turns out, it was supposed to measure the speed at which i type.

i'm proud to say that it's seventy-five words per minute.

so i just have to wait for her to call me back, which will hopefully be on friday. and then i'll get to start working in an office building. and i won't come home smelling of hamburger.
oh, how glorious.

to add to my good news, i'm going to get my cheque from the auto accident (where the guy hit me on my bike) soon. three thousand dollars plus the cost of replacing the bike. i am estatic. this will help me out SO much, so i'm in a very good mood.

to add to the announcements, i have a date. sunday i'm going out with this guy named jacob. it's a blind date, but a friend of mine is the orchestratour, and i trust her judgement. i mean, what do i have to lose? maybe i'll end up liking him and he'll be cute, as well.

anyway, i'm gonna leave now. g'night!
