Today as I was getting ready to go out for a friend's birthday dinner, I received a call. Unfortunately I was eating just before the call and happened to drop my chopstick on the floor... so I tried to get to the kitchen but heard my phone ring.. tried to pick it up, but missed the call. Glad I have caller ID! Checked the number and the number was from an employer (but I didn't know who). So I looked it up and realized it was such a random company to call me... but then when I called them, they said they had a resume on file. Just then, I remembered, that I had applied for this company MONTHS ago... and I thought they already found someone since the ad said the position would be filed once they found the right candidate. At that moment of the call, I thought, "Why would they call me months after?" They asked me if I was still interested, but I informed them that I had accepted another offer. I thanked them for giving me the opportunity and we hung up.
The reason why I declined was because I was pretty sure this was a position that was only during Mon - Fri, and I probably have to do at least 2 or 3 shifts. I wouldn't be able to do that while I'm in school, so I had to decline. The job I have right now is more flexible and has weekend shifts that I can do.
After writing this... I realized one possible reason for them calling me was probably because the person they hired (at the time that ad was posted), probably is going to quit, or has already quit. Or perhaps they only needed people for the upcoming school year... I have no idea, but why would they put up an ad months in advanced for that? o.o
Anyway, shortly before that call I got a call from work asking me to come in for a closing shift instead. Yay, I'll learn how to close! XD
After the calls, I got ready and headed out to my friend's birthday dinner. We went to Olive Garden and the food was delicious! I love their breadsticks as well, and love how each entree comes with a big serving of salad too! Our friend opened up his gifts and we had the waiter bring out the cake I bought for him. He was really happy that he got a cake this year, since he had wanted one for 10 years! I'm glad I was able to make one of his dreams/goals come true. :)
My tummy was so full after our meal so we ended up just walking it off. The boys went to go venture some at the mall, and the girls decided to go home. We were tired, full, but satisfied.
Now I need to pay bills. Too much was spent this entire week. ><
