Oh happy Day!!

Blurb my brain:
So I had an interview today. NAILED IT! I decided to learn from my mistakes, and follow the example of Elise at thingsthatarenotbagels.com
and keep this one on tippy top secrets. Although, any of you who are my actual friends will know bc of Facebook. Plus, I kinda swore confidentiality for this job. Signed that paper and everything. Lol.

But I feel like I can tell you guys how today went. And just because I can, I am going to do it Tucker Max style.

5:58
Wake up worried I overslept and missed my interview, only to be disappointed that I was actually up 2 minutes before my alarm.

5:59
Thumbing through Facebook. Also thought, "it is way too damn early to be up."

6:00
Realized Fiancé posted a Hoops and Yoyo "I Love You" video to my wall. I forget about 5:59

6:05
Roll off the floor, I mean my bed.

6:06
Morning pee.

6:07
Flush toilet and wash hands.

6:15
Dressed and ready. Crap. Interview isn't until 830, and I have to been at HR at 8. *mental math* an hour early.

6:16
Fuck it, I will get gas on the way, and finding parking will be interesting, so I'll leave now.

6:25
Finally get the damn truck out of the garage, and shut the door.

6:35
Shit it's foggy out here. Hope to god no deer are out, because my lights suck.

6:50
Gas is friggen expensive. $3.69. *cue Get Low by Ludacris(lil jon, whatever I am bad with that shit)*

7:15
Stalled truck for the first time. I have been driving it for two weeks, and I just now stall it going up the ramp to the garage? Whatever. Find my way upstairs.

7:17
No one here. Playing words with friends and sudoku.

8:05
HR office open. Fill out paperwork. Call old boss for numbers for professional references. Thought I'd trick them by putting international numbers. Muahahahhah. (didn't work. They called me back and asked for the email addresses)

8:20
Bossman comes and takes me from HR. takes me to a big room with three other people and a table arrangement in a square. I have never interviewed in front of a board of people before. Cool. Not really. I am minorly freaking out. That's also a first.

8:40
Interview over, feel like I did well. Especially when they smiled and nodded when I said "usually my peers are judged against me." Bossman takes me up the stairs again to validate my parking. Tells me he will be right back.

8:45
Bossman returns and pulls me into the office. He offers me the job right there. I accept, shocked because it happened so quickly. He asked what I wanted my salary to be. I told him based on the hours he mentioned in the interview, I could work for minimum wage.

8:46
He offers me 50% more. I am further shocked. He and I head to HR to rush through the hiring so I can start Monday. :)

9:15
I drive home, and along the way, tell my current employer I quit.

9:57
It all hits me. I am super excited.
