I'm back...

Well, I'm back from Nashville. How did it go you ask??? Well, I drove down on Wednesday night after leaving the doctors office. My appointment was at 12:00 and I didn't get out of there until 4:30. Boy was that fun!! Oh well, it's once a year and it's free, can't complain.... While I was in the doctors office, my interviewer called and bumped up my interview to 10:30. That was fine with me, less time for me to set around and be nervous about it. Anyway, I got to my hotel at 10:30. Six hours, not bad!! Even had a couple of guys whistle at me *self esteem boost!* while I was putting gas in my car.... hehehehe... So, I get up and go to my interview Thursday morning. The building was in the shadow of another building with was another PR firm.... I should have just left a resume there!! Anyway, the first interview went well. The lady asked nontraditional interview questions. I was still unsure about the actual job. I even asked the question, "what is a typical day like in this job? What exactly do you do?" She said that if I was called back for the second interview I would find out because I would spend the day with a rep. She said if I didn't hear from her by 5 then they were going in another direction. There were several girls waiting to be interviewed while I was there so I wasn't gonna hold my breath. I decided to go shopping the rest of the day. I went to two different malls, one being the Opry Mills mall. I did some shopping and I got back to the room about 4:30 and waited for the phone call.

Well, I ordered a pizza and the call never came so I got my stuff all packed up, I was gonna leave early and then at 6, I got the call for the second interview. I was really nervous because I was finally gonna find out what the actual job was. I was to be there at 9am till about 5:15. I texted my guy guy to let him know and he called me... Being the sweet guy he is!! He kept telling me that if I don't get the job then maybe there was a good reason for it. Maybe there was something better waiting at home for me... He was being really sweet and hell, I figured he would forget about me while I was outa town.. It put a smile on my face. I watched my must see Thursday shows, The OC and ER and then I went to bed. I got to the office at 9 and waited until 9:30 when I was introduced to the girl I was gonna be riding along with. OK, so the term direct marketing was mentioned... Direct marketing meaning, basically, door to door salesperson for BellSouth Phone Service... Not exactly what I had in mind. We went to the ghetto of Nashville and entered all the businesses trying to get them to switch to Bellsouth or "make sure they were getting their BellSouth discounts." I was really degrading to me. I would never do that. I don't try to impose on people like that. Don't get me wrong, we met alot of nice people but there were some that obviously didn't want anything to do with us. It just wasn't for me. I think I could have had the job but I just told them, it's not something I wanted to do... Plus the fact that the girl I was with, broke her key in the car door lock and we didn't get back to the office until 6:30... We had to wait for her ex to bring her her spare key...So, locked out of her car in the ghetto, it was getting dark and she still wanted to solicit businesses....Great fun.. She was really nice but I just couldn't do what she did. That's cool though, I learned my lesson and it was a good experience for me.

Anyway, I started back at 6:30 and I was in Gallipolis at 1:30am. Right when I was crossing over the bridge, my cell rang. It was the M&M's guy!! So, he met me at the gas station and we hung out for about an hour. He was really quiet and I wasn't looking my best....(a day in the ghetto does that to ya!!) I don't know. I wasn't attracted as much to him... I'll give him a second chance though if he wants it!! I spent the entire drive home talking on my cellphone. It made the trip more barable!! All in all, it wasn't all that bad. I enjoy driving like that. I think it's relaxing and fun.

Well, now you know how it all went. I know the suspense was probably killing you!!! Well, me too!! Anyway, I will probably hang with my friends tonight. Might go see a local band play. I haven't talked to my guy guy so I don't know if he wants to see me or not. Don't know. I would like to get a better vibe from him. I mean, some times I really really do, other times not so much.. I don't know if he likes me or not. But you know, I just realized... being single isn't all that bad. I can be alone. As long as someone shows interest every once in a while, I'm good to go. I gotta try to be happy with myself and I'm gonna start working really hard on that. I want to have a kick ass body that will stop guys in their tracks!! I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna be happy with myself. I'm gonna get a new job, somewhere, and I'm gonna be happy this year, with or without a guy on my arm....
