On Monday, I started looking for a job at least for the summer until I start grad school, and maybe later. I walked into the local Pittsburgh Paints store because it was the first store at the end of the strip mall. I got to chatting with the manager after we discovered that we have similar educational backgrounds and he took my name and number. After visiting about a dozen other places, I came home and started filling out online job applications for all of those places, including Pittsburgh Paints.
On Thursday, the manager of Pittsburgh Paints called to invite me for an interview. He had me email him my resume, which meant I needed to construct one.
Yesterday, Friday, I went to the interview. I arrived 20 minutes early, which was good because the manager believes, as I do, that 15 minutes early is on time. The interview went really well. When we were done, he offered me the job and said the district manager will call me early next week to schedule the drug test and finish up paperwork. I expect to start work in about two weeks. As an added benefit, this job pays a third again as much as any of the other jobs I applied for. I'm very happy to be employed. I'm looking forward to getting started. I just need to pick up a few pairs of khakis, since they are part of the uniform; I'll be given the shirts I need.

Ignore my last entry: I got a BETTER job!
The paint store job fell through when I failed the human performance exam last week, but that's really okay. Today, I got hired (and completed all the hiring paperwork) as a tutor at the Oakland University Writing Center. That's the job I actually wanted in the first place, so I'm really happy. I can't wait to start training!
