Shweet! I just checked Metro Transit, and I don't even have to leave MAS early - the latest bus to get me to work on time comes at 10:14. :)

I would also like to say that calling stores that haven't called you back works. I called Tea Source this morning to see if they had looked at my application yet, and the manager said she'd keep an eye out for it. About an hour later she called me back to ask me some questions and set up an interview, which I've set up for tomorrow morning at 9:30. Can you say "squee"?
I already got the Paradigm question out of the way, and she said something about my honesty (gah, I forgot what exactly she said). *bites my nails* Last time I interviewed, they turned me down for not having enough experience (if I remember right, but maybe I'm thinking of the Jamba Juice on Grand), so hopefully it wasn't too much more than that and I make a good impression tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Reminder to self: call Richa about Easy Reader today. And make up mock interview questions to think of answers to.

[EDIT: Richa just called me and we talked a bit on the phone about what we're each looking for; I'm going to be meeting her at the kiosk on Saturday. This is nerve-wracking, and just the tiniest bit... reassuring? I don't remember the last time I've had this much opportunity to think through what I want in a job. But at the same time, there's so much to think about. I mean, even setting up these appointments is straining me in making me consider my sleep schedule. The biggest problem is all the uncertainties in my present and immediate future situation. What will I be doing this fall (in terms of classes), and what will that allow me to do (in terms of UDS/Jamba Juice)? I'm glad that she's really looking for someone for once school starts, meaning I'll have more time to sort things out before I make any serious commitments.
Anyways, she says they pay about $7 an hour, plus end-of-month bonuses. Not too amazing, certainly compared to $8.25 an hour with UDS, or even $7.75 an hour for third-shift SA, but I have yet to find out what the starting wage for Tea Source is.
Knock on wood, but there's a teensy, tinsy part of me that hopes I get turned down at Tea Source, just so I have less to think about. Of course, the part of me that is praying that they'll want to hire me is much, much bigger. ^_^;

If only Jeff hadn't been brought back, eh? ^_^;]

[EDIT 2: Going to Sponsored+ for a bit.]
