Auctions and Puppies and Jobs, Oh My!

Oops. I haven't blogged in over a week. What was this about me blogging regularly? Well, I've been sort of not the greatest since I last blogged, so maybe that's an excuse. And if not an excuse, it'll make me feel better about failing my commitment. Any blog I could have written would have been "I just want to sleeeeep" or "LOST is great!" or "Why can't I think of lyrics for this music or vice versa?"

But I have more to blog about now. I had a good weekend, and it's not over yet.

This weekend was my school's auction. Every year, the first Saturday in February, we have an auction to raise money. 'nuff said. And because of this auction, we have a half day on Friday and a holiday on Monday. So, the first contributor to a good weekend was the extra length. Three days and an extra two and a half hours? I'll take it! Plus, this year, one of the puppies we auctioned off sold for $8,000. It was a shipoo and adorable, and the guy who bought it donated it to our principal. Cute, right?

So on Saturday I woke up and took the ACT, and that was okay (I liked the SAT better, but I think I'm just crazy), and then I took a four-hour-long nap. THAT was fun. And then I went to school to work at the auction, only to find that I wasn't there an hour and a half early. I was there over two hours early! But that was okay. I hung out in the break room with friends and got a ride home with a friend. So that was great fun.

Furthermore, yesterday (Sunday) I went out to the place I worked last summer to re-audition for a job. There were 93 people there, there had already been a selective audition, and they were downsizing. But for some reason they thought I was great and had me try on costumes first. I tried on 7 or so, and every single one fit me. Then they said I was hired. Just like that! I felt kind of bad that I got to leave before my friends from last year even started their skits, but I skedaddled so I wouldn't have to watch them and worry about them being hired. I hope they get hired. That will make the summer more fun.

But yeah. I had a fun weekend. I'm going to have a fun summer. I just hope my boss(es) don't regret deciding to hire me before looking at my conflicts. And I hope they suspect that I marked any potential conflicts, to avoid problems, and ask me to come in for training in March with everybody else. Though, I suppose that having my own training couldn't be too horrible. Bonding time with supervisors, I guess. Cheers.
