Not too long ago I applied for a part-time teller position at a local area credit union. When I was closing my line to go home on Wednesday of this week, my last customer was the person that I applied with. She told me that I should be expecting a phone call from the Vice President to talk to me about scheduling an interview. Today I received that phone call. I was so excited to know that I will be getting an interview with the CU. The VP told me that the Branch Manager should be calling me by this coming Monday to schedule a formal interview with me. When I filled out the application, I basically had a mini interview, informal of course, as I filled out the application. You know, the typical what are your goals and what not kind of things. I would really like to be able to escape the clench of Wal-Mart. They’re not that great of an employer sadly. They want to pay low wages and not offer any benefits to the people who really depend on them. I’m ready to make the switch to somewhere that I know I will be appreciated and where my pay check gives me a little more room instead of “just getting by.”

I’ll be dressed to impress and will be taking my best attitude to the interview in hopes of getting that job. I am really excited about taking my expertise in customer satisfaction to a greater horizon.

Sometimes, I start to write and I realize that I don’t have something really worth saying. So, I must comment that I find religious zealots to be dumb. This girl I work with told me that her Mom was like, “I can’t believe you hang out with people like that.” I guess it’s a sin to hang around homosexuals, but it’s not a sin to hate them and discriminate against. The religious people are so crazy sometimes.

Also, there is no Iraq War. Article I of the Constitution of the United States states, “The Congress shall have the power to declare war.” Last time I checked, George Bush wasn’t The Congress so he has no right to declare war. What ever happened to the War Resolutions Act where he has to be accountable for his little deployments of troops? Quit killing soldiers over oil and really find what is after us, Osama bin Laden. Guess what America: Osama isn’t in Iraq!

World War II was the last time the US was in a real war. These stupid little deployments that the presidents do are b/s and should be over. If they want to pick a fight, declare war. Oh, but that’d take a real reason.

welcome to swimming upstream.. i think this is an apt title. in a time where the world seems to be going one way, i am going up the stream to make the difference. this is my branch of the web where amazing things will be happening so stay tuned.
