Ok so last thursday, I get a call from shopko. This lady wants me to go in for an interview in an hour! I'm like sweet, first job interview. Well, I get there about 4 PM. I go up to the customer service desk, ask for bryan. (Different person, interviewing me!) He takes me upstairs to his office then procedes to look over my paperwork, and ask me questions. Then he has me sign some Pre-Offer forms, so I sign them. Then he says my background check will come in the next day, and Sabrina (another person), will call me with details.
Friday comes around, and passes . . the weekend comes and passes . . . then monday at around 5 i decide to call bryan. Who then transfers me to sabrina, who then tells me everything passed and that she has to check the schedule for orientation, and will call me back. Well, on a hunch the next day I go apply at taco bell. They call me back wensday and ask to setup an interview. So I went in today, 45 minutes ago (2 PM), and she hires me within 30 minutes. So inshort, i work 4 - 10 Tomarrow, quite exciting aye?
So anyways, i'm a BUSY PERSON! I have a inch think stack of college paperwork I have to fill out. Even though i'm going to MSU-COT (Montana State University - College Of Technology) in the summer, for one semester. Its quite insane, but my teachers at school are pulling strings for me to get the best i can get. My school counciler is looking up all sorts of Scholarships for me, even though I only attend Adult Education (GED). (Guess buying the teachers pizza a couple times helped?) My english teacher is willing to write me a letter of recomendation, and if I asked my two other teachers, I doubt I would have a problem getting one! Thats only the tip of the iceburg!
I'm trying to do College, First Job, all the while working at with the marines at 4 AM, so I can ship out in august, for boot camp. So, ontop of that I have military paperwork, and thats not all. I'm doing all of this while trying to maintain a team project, and get a game project done. Needless to say, I do not get sleep at all. (BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE CREATOR OF PHP|OVERLORD, IT HAS BEEN A REAL LIFESAVER!) I'd have to say i'm quite a busy person for a 16 year old?
Life is not just busy, but good as well. My father is a truck driver, and he is coming home for x-mas. Well, in order to do that hes gotta go by the trucking company's terminal. Well, my dad's dispatcher (the guy that tells him where to go) took my dad outside this morning, and gave him a nice x-mas present. (Partially because he was nominated for employee of the month, but lost it to some guy that kissed butt.) Well, the x-mas present was a brand new Volvo truck. The best truck hes ever gotten. No other company has given him one, and hes wanted one for oh about 6 years (I think its this: http://www.mack.on.ca/volvo/_pdf/volvo-vn670.pdf).
Also, not just for him! Yesterday I went into school. Well, after break, my teacher told me she needed to speak with me in the counciler's office. I was like "Uh Oh, Whatd i do?", because going to the counciler's office is not the best place to be . . . Well, I get in there, then the counciler comes in, then my enligsh teacher, then my reading teacher, then the math teacher/secretary. By this time i'm like "Oh Boy, this has gotta be bad . . " Well, then my math teacher whips out this citizenship award, then procedes to give me a speach. He told me about how they thought i was a good rolemodel for the rest of the kids in the class. After that I went off to a 4 star resturant for a X-Mas party, had some steak, and garlic potatoes. Yea, lifes good.
I would show information for my project, buts its kinda on the down low. But we're looking to buying TSE/3D World Studio (MAYBE: Constructor depending on the release date, but I like 3DWS's terrain feature set, or the one thats coming :) )
