Big News in Sean Land

I had an interview at Target HQ on Wednesday. It went OK. I was told that I would hear something by the end of next week either way. I woke up today at about 1 pm and had a missed call and message on my phone from the Target recruiter's number. I listened to the message and she said I should give her a call back. I was in no hurry. I watched Andy kill some people in GTA4, I had a protein shake (BRO SCIENCE APPROVED!!!) and I took a shower. I called her back and she informed me that they wanted to offer me a position. She asked if I wanted to think it over. Of course I didn't. Now pending a drug test tomorrow, I will have a rather real job in the corporate world.

I am very excited. It has been 3 years and 3 days since I graduated from college. It felt like I would never get something close to a legitimate job. After 14 months at the hotel I put in my 2 week notice today. I will be finished on June 3rd here and will start at Target July 11th. I plan on relaxing those 5 weeks. I am going to head out to California for a week sometime in June to relax and enjoy the weather out there.

Who knows if this is something that I am going to follow a career in. All I know is that it is a merchandising specialist position and it is something different that will allow me to work with other people my age in the downtown area. I am looking forward to it. No I will not miss customer service at all. Though, it has definitely made me a better person and has given me valuable lessons and skills on on you should treat people.

Huge congrats! I was going to send you pics of me rocking my FDU shirt while painting my house, but refrained because I knew you were bitter about your college education.

Well, you can expect some pics now budddayyy!
