I was so nervous at the interview! I needed the job like I
needed air to breathe or a bullet in my head, whichever would come first haha.
We took lil one along, it was Cindy’s day off so. It’s a beautiful facility, I
remember fantasising about working there. The guy asked Cindy if she is the one
who knows That supervisor guy, who apparently is the guy’s friend. She agreed. He
turned to me and asked if I know someone who works there to? I told him that I
know someone who knows someone J.
Cindy went in first, I stayed behind
with Lil one. That child was running amok, I couldn’t contain her! Hot Mess! Cindy
was in there for what seemed like forever. The nerves of my upcoming interview
and being stuck with an unruly child! Eventually they came out. I went in, sooooo nervous! We walked up the
stairs, found a random desk, he told me they were looking for two night shift
aides (Nursing Aides), he asked if we were sisters. I didn’t know what he
wanted to hear, whether he wanted us to be sisters or not, cos at that point, I
was ready to tell him whatever he wanted to hear. He asked me what is the first
thing you do when a patient falls. I went blank! I mumbled something along the
lines of before you do anything, you call for assistance, or you call the nurse,
heck I can’t remember what I said. Soon, we were done!
He told me he was in charge of the hiring process, he was
going to forward my stuff to management and call to let me know if I got the
job. I left there without a glimmer of hope. I didn’t think I got it at all
considering how long Cindy was in there for and how many seconds I was in there
in comparison. Cindy was in such high spirits on our way out. It was weird to
me considering she wasn’t looking for a job.
A week or so later, Cindy got a call back from the facility.
They offered her the job. It was a full time position, she told me it wasn’t
for him because she was looking for a part time job. That was news to me. They
never called me. I called them, Guy was like, we are still looking but I will
call you right back. He never did. I kept calling him. I felt like I was too
close to getting it for me to let it slip. After about two weeks, he finally
called me back and offered me the position. I was ecstatic! I can find my own
place and move the fck out! He wanted me to get finger prints and take them to
the office. That was a whole another blog post on its own! I took the
Fingerprints in, they made me pee in a cup, fun! Another interview, then they
made me fill out two mini booklets and gave me the third book to take home,
read and fill out (or in, depending which English you speak, British or American
J). He told me to start
that Friday 10pm. I went home with a weird feeling. I didn’t have that feeling
of excitement like someone who just got a job. I went home and told them I got
the job. Everyone was so excited. Friday came, I called Guy confirming my first
shift that night, he was like, you can come tonight if you like, but you don’t
have the job yet. I am still waiting to hear from management if they want you
to take the position.
The fck!
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place! I kept
applying. Cindy told me she could recommend me to her supervisor but she didn’t
think I would like working there with her husband’s ex girlfriend. Hell, if you
can work with her, when she was YOUR husband’s girlfriend, why can’t I? She was like, also I don’t want her spreading
rumors about you. Blah blah blah. I was like,that is so the least of my
concerns. All of a sudden, one day, she came home ever so excited that she
talked to the kitchen supervisor about me. She told them that I am looking for
a job, should they need someone to wash the dishes. Uhm! Really? A dishwasher?
That’s like the lowest paid people in her company, minimum wage! They make $4
more per hour in her level, which is where I have experience. It was deja vu!
That’s what T was trying to do in Connecticut when she didn’t want me to work
for her agent who paid $1 200 per month but for another agent who paid
$500 per month. SMDH
I never heard from her company either, so whatevz! I kept
calling that Guy until he literally asked me to stop calling him. The guy
practically hired me and then acted like he didn’t. You don’t do that to a
person! A week or so after that, he called and gave me my schedule. I was going
to start off part time, I didn’t mind, I was glad to have a job. From then on,
I focused my energy in finding a place to stay. I was going to start one
Wednesday night. I was home alone that day. I had finished cleaning, you know
how that goes, had filled out the entire book they gave me to fill out and took
a nap, so I could be nice and refreshed that night. Cindy came home around 6pm.
She called me downstairs, told me she wanted to show me something, seeing as I
had read our horoscope that morning telling her that good time were ahead of
us. Kill the messenger, why don’t you?
She took me to the garage. He car had been broken into! The
entire window was gone, broken glass everywhere! Apparently they stole her
purse which had $300 in it and all her cards, ID, driver’s license, you name
it!
