It's not often that you get second chances... OK, let me rephrase'
It's not often 'I' get second chances, and believe me i've been in need of some. But alas there's been few fruit's from my labour.. until now. Or more specifically, the other day 'Friday', when i got the call ive been longing.
Im rather excited im not too sure where to begin, 'The beginging?' Al-right then ^^, SO!
For the past few months ive had, shall we say, a spot of bad luck. Well when i say spot i mean Vat! and when i say bad i mean worse. What with being kicked out of college for reasons which were entirely, partially not my fault... Well things have ben abit down in the dumps, so in a more often than not 'fruitless' attempt to salvage something from a meager existance i tried to attain employment. A feat not so easily accomplished ill have you know.
Anyway, after my 100th 'Im sorry to inform you' e-mail, letter, slap bang in my face rejection, It seemed that i was getting nowhere, and i was getting there fast. Thankfully though, in my darkest hour (not really, but i love the drama ^^) one of my friends decided to enquire about getting me a small job with her at the local football ground. On first hearing this i failed to stop myself recoiling but it was all in good spirits, and i knew id have to start at the bottom to get anywhere near my goals, even if they are meadiocor for the time being.
The job itself is quite straightforward, serve pissed angry costumers and look happy about it. I'll tell you now those customers usually are pissed and angry and im rarely looking happy about anything, but its all 'perks of the job'. Hmm.
Now with a few weeks experience of serving shit to shitty people, i tried and applied (once more) into getting a job at Vue cinemas as a guest assistant, i job ive wanted for some time because i believe its a place i can truely 'enjoy'. After two weeks silence i got a phone call confirming my interview (screams) which went well, really well. The nice man through loads of complicated questions at me hoping to through me off balance only to have me go into a rant about quality customer service, and him end up writing way more than i thought possible on such small amounts of paper. I left the interview some what uneasy, he did write alot, it couldnt all be bad...
Alas the finale of this tale happened a few days ago, when i got a call saying id gotten the job, the reason im so enthralled about it is simple, it's my ladder out of a dark hole. Id been walking down this same old road for some time, tripped and fell into a rut with no plusable means of escape.. until now. This might seem like an ordinary job, but even an ordinary job can grant extraordinary oppertunites, and im not letting mine pass me by. :)
