Through the sugar storm

The job hunt, day 1.

Went down to the HEB warehouse, put in an app, had an interview. Had to talk about working at Sonic and Domino's, which was weird. She put me through to the next round of interviews; I get to go back Friday at 9 (am). So that's cool, definitely a good sign. Went to Wal-Mart next - the retail center, not the warehouse - and (NOTE: If you get really irrated whenever I dare mention Mindy in my blog, skip the rest of this paragraph. Hell, I might end up talking about Chelsea at some point, so you'll probably just want to skip this entire post. Just to be safe. I wouldn't want to give anyone a headache.) sat at their little application station in the layaway center and filled out an application there as well. That was fun. Meh. Mindy walked by as I was sitting there, said hi to me. We talked a little bit. She had her baby, a healthy boy, named Travis II, after his father. Also, she now has the child's name tatooed on her right wrist, on the inner side.

Yeah, kinda weird. Definitely not the girl I dated for a year and a half. It's weird to see her all grown up, living her own life.

Wow, that last sentence verges on incredibly patronizing, or something, not sure what. It's really the only way I can think to put it, though. I certainly don't consider myself "all grown up, living my own life" just yet, which might help lessen the impact of that sentence.

Anyway.

I'm not sure where else I can really apply before I start falling back on fallbacks, stuff like CRI and TNI and [shudder] Sonic. I might end up there if I can't find anything else, though I really don't want to. I highly doubt things would come to that. Rose gave up on moving back down here and that whole thing, so I'm not even going to look for something in Austin. Besides, I think that would get too weird eventually. Or maybe not. I don't know, and won't have to find out now.

Moving on.

Still treading lightly in the Chelsea situation. Well... it's not like there's really a "Chelsea situation", just trying to figure out how to contact her. I sent her a message already, but I'm not sure it went out - there's no copy of it in my sent folder, and I was having a lot of errors during that time (Tried sending something to Megan as well, it never went out). The problem is that if the first one did go through, I'll seem overbearing, which is something I really, really don't want to do. We'll see how it goes.
