2 weeks may seem long, but it hasn't felt that way

I know, I know it's been two weeks since I've written a word. I've been busy to some degree. I apply for about 2 jobs a day and have been helping my parents with some yardwork. I have also been spending some time getting reacquainted with Final Fantasy X by building up my characters. My sister was going to do this for me because I don't particularly enjoy it, but I have been diligently developing the characters and done a few side quests simultaneously. Enough of the geek talk though.

Wen's wedding is coming up next weekend and I picked up a black suit from Men's Warehouse. Although I knew exactly what I wanted when I walked in, the salesmen were pretty pushy. They tried to convince me to get a Men's Warehouse credit card. I kept thinking to myself "when am I going to buy another suit from these guys?", so I declined. I got a decent suit for a decent price and it should last me a few years at least. They were very accomodating by altering my suit while I waited so I won't have to go back to the store.

I also have an interview on Monday with Centrix Financial. I will be working with in-house counsel, which could prove to be interesting. I received a call today from Quiznos to the resume submissions that I've been making. They were considering me for either the underwriter position or the compliance position. After the interviewer asked me what kind of compensation I was looking for she said that the complaince position probably wouldn't fit, so I would only be considered for the underwriter position. I'm not sure if it was because it was over the phone, but it was a very brief and I'm afraid that I sounded a bit arrogant. When she asked why I left my last job (Riggs, Abney in Dec.), I told her because I no longer felt challenged and a change needed to be made. She asked me if I usually left jobs without finding something else in the mean time and I told her not usually. I explained to her that had my internship turned into a job I would have stayed and if things had gone well in LA I would have stayed also. I hope that I didn't sound cocky, but I guess well see if she asks me in for an interview. I have some friends who work there so I'm hoping that maybe they can put a good word in for me if they are able to.

I have received a couple emails back from jobs I applied to to let me know that the positions were filled. I appreciate that because then there is no reason to concern myself any more. I have also applied for a few jobs in LA. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but since I really enjoy working in the entertainment industry (not necessarily with the people), I figured if someone was willing to take a chance, it could be a good thing. No serious responses yet though.

I will try to make more frequent updates, but I can't make any promises.
