Yesterday on this blog I mentioned that I had a job interview with UPS, which was supposed to be today at 11:30 AM. Thing is, the interview was to take place in a town about an hour and a half away from where I lived, which by itself isn't a problem, as I have been to that particular town before, so I simply left around 9:40 to give myself plenty of time to get there in case of unexpected delays or whatever. The problem came when I tried to figure out where the UPS center was. I tried Google maps to help me find it, but either Google maps was messed up or I am terrible at reading directions because I ended up lost in that town for about an hour or so. I did eventually find the UPS center at around lunch time, but it was closed until 4:30 PM. As I didn't want to wait four hours for the UPS center to open, I decided to just go home, as I had already missed the interview by at least an hour and so doubted I was going to be interviewed at all. As you can imagine, I'm not in a particularly happy mood right now. I didn't even get to do the interview, so I don't know for sure if I would have been accepted or rejected. I suppose I could call or email them and explain why I didn't show up, but considering the seasonal nature of the position I applied for, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has already filled it by now. So, unless something unexpected comes up, it's back to job-hunting again for me, it appears. What joy. -TNTOS-

Earlier today I applied for a part-time position as a Driver Helper at UPS, thinking it might be fun but not expecting anything to come out of it (as all my other job applications at other comapnies have thus far been either ignored or rejected outright). But about half an hour ago, UPS called me and said that I will have a job interview at 11:30 AM tomorrow for the position I applied for. I'm surprised but pleased at how quickly they got back to me. This is going to be my first job interview ever, so I'm really nervous but also really excited. Hopefully it'll go smoothly. If it does, I'll have bagged me a job. Wish me luck for tomorrow, 'cause I'm definitely going to need it. -TNTOS-
