yeah baby, yeah
Two questions that make me fidget like crazy in an interview:
1) What do you like to do? Hobbies...
2) What are your salary requirements?
I was early for the interview so I had to walk around the block once before going up to the 9th floor in a bldg that's situated in the Fashion District of Manhattan. They just finished interviewing a girl when I walked in. I was pretty nervous because of that but I kept my cool, turned on my charm full power and flashed my million dollar yet coy smile here and there. Small office; a total of 3 employees. Headquarter is in Seoul, Korea; offices in SF, HK, Shanghai and one or two other locations. No factory; just trading. I thought it would be either accounting or basic office administrative stuff but it turns out to be both. I'll be doing A/R and everything else that they do that is office related. The office manager is going to give me a call tomorrow for the final answer but I think I got it. I shouldn't jinx it but he already mentioned an offer as far as salary, plus he told me that just based on my resume, I'm the only one who really qualifies out of the 4 or 5 other candidates interviewed, and dozens of resumes that they've received. I should've fucked around with my resume some more, with the dates but I don't think that's necessary now. He asked me about the salary requirement. I am glad that he didn't push that on me, because I just said, "I haven't really thought of it. How much are you offering?" And he offered a figure that was higher than I expected. So inside, I was just screaming with joy. Let's just hope it stays that way. He mentioned some shit about how they all work overtime, when I asked about the hours. I have a feeling that I'm gonna have problems with that. Set hours are 8:30 to 5:30 but he said that everyone usually goes home at around 6 or even 6:30. I'll have to do something about the morning hour then. blah. Oh yeah. No benefits. No medical, dental. But I'm young, right? I don't have cancer or anything. I do have that hyperthyroidism shit and other little things that I need to have checked...but, but, I'll be fine.
No more drinking on weekdays. I can do it! blah
I'll finally be able to pay off some of my credit card bills more than the minimum amount. Really need to get that shit out of the way.
Thursday. pb's favorite day of the week. After he gets a haircut, I'm gonna have a drink or two with him, and probably with the whole gang. I never go out on Halloween because although this area is pretty quiet, on Halloween, it gets pretty bad sometimes. I was walking home from pho bang after the interview with km, and these kids with cartons of eggs pass by me, swearing, and throwing that shit. I swear, if I catch the kid that dares to throw an egg at me, I will chase the bitch down and smash his head on the cement sidewalk. What to wear tonite...
