It was with the place I interviewed with last week. I stayed and met the guys that I would be working with and shadowed them for 4 hours and worked on a couple of jobs. It went very well and it seems pretty promising, but they were also very very vague about whether or not I was going to get the job. But the guys told me they just moved in to the building and are doing a lot of expanding, so everything is kind of up in the air right now and the owners and really busy.
I just hope I didn't babble anything stupid, I do that sometimes in a nervous situation. Actually I do that all the time. I blurt out things without thinking, which I've learned is an ADD trait. But it seemed as if my blurts turned out okay this time. You know like, when they were talking about music I was like, "as long as its not country I'm okay with it". Luckily they were like, "alright!!" But it could have easily been someones favorite music. There were a couple of other things like that that just happened to be things they agreed with. I was like (to myself), "thank God, now shut up already!"
And yes, its pretty much all guys who I would be working with, which if you know anything about me you know is a GOOD thing. Plus, the guys tended to have either long hair or shaved heads, tattoos and long goatees. I wouldn't actually say these are my TYPE of guy, like to date or whatever. Not that they aren't my type either. But I am just much more comfortable with that type of crowd than the fake plastic people I've been working with lately. It'll be nice to go back to wearing frayed jeans, chucks and a t-shirt to work. And maybe do something funky to my hair.
So wish me luck! If not a permanent solution, its certainly a very promising way out of my current job from hell. And who knows, I may love it and stay quite a while. Look at me, I'm talking like I have it, which some of the guys also did today. But I know they are meeting with some others tomorrow so, who knows!
Thanks for the support everybody!!!!
