its better than a kick to the head...cause that might hurt

So I didn't get that job with the museum..a dream job if you will. Well, I decided to bite the bullet and went and applied for a job at Target. Not thinking anything of it, I went up there in a pair of jeans, a tee shirt, and had a bandana on my head. So I finish filling out the application and then they tell me, hang on a second...We'll get someone up here to interview you. 'What the hell!' is my thought...I look like some college bum the way I'm dressed but whatever. So I talk to one person, Julie, and she asks the usual questions, and then says 'Why don't you go have a seat back out by guest services and we'll get someone to do a second interview'....great, another person to look at me and think I'm a bum. Anyway, so I go through with this second interview, and then the guy, Ben (he seemed like a weasly kind of guy that you don't like), says the exact same thing and so I go back and sit and wait for another 'interview' and eventually I end up with a job. So take that dream job...HA...oh wait, shit.... lets check the score: Dream Job: 1, Mike: zero. Dammit. Oh well, I got a job, so that is all that really matters, well, that and money, money matters. Which is good, because that is what I'm going to be making, finally...

So the plan that I formulated in my head, while I was in one of three interviews mind you, was that I'll just work at Target for a year or a year and a half, and then go back to school and get my MA and then try to find a real world job, you know, one where I'll use my tens of thousands of dollars worth of college tuition money for. Maybe I'll teach...scary thought. I don't think I could go through a PhD program...that would be killer. I don't think I could write a thesis of about 400 pages.

I called home and my mom and dad were all excited about it so they can finally stop bitching at me to get a job. And on a happier note about the family, my mom and dad and Chuck are planning on coming down here at the end of February, which is cool. I'll show them around the exciting metropolis of Wichita (right....) But it'll be good to see them.
