They waste no time at the Detroit Historical Society. The interview yesterday went well. The woman "coached" me and told me to focus on examples from my jobs where I was in charge, a presense, and that concentrated on my decision making skills. I think they are primarily interested in teaching in that regard, but all that entered my mind was ushering. It's not a fun job and since we have no support from the grey coats (errr, jla security) I am in charge and 'manage' my section at all times. I made a list of what each job has provided me and after studying them all night, I think, I mean I know I am able handle the museum job. Anywho - the woman also said she would be putting my resume on the desk of her boss. Well, yesterday afternoon I got a call, it was from the DHM, and I have my second interview at 10:30. No time wasted. I should feel rather confident going in to this if for nothing else but their reaction: I mailed my resume on Monday; They called me Tuesday; I called back Wednesday (I was working Tues night); Interview Thurs; 2nd interview with COO Friday. Bam! And I do feel confident because I am confident. The End.
I got a parking ticket -again- yesterday. Why? They fucking hate my car at Wayne State. The meter at the corner of Kirby and Woodward is cursed. I put in eight quarters to cover my time (four would have been safe) but it only read one coin, so I only had twenty minutes in the meter. WTF? That is a dirty trick by the city. I should fight it, but it's just a parking ticket and the city needs money. They miswrote the ticket too - I don't have a two door car! I wonder if that means anything. While it probably does, I don't think I have the energy to find out. I hate Wayne State. It never fails, ever, that I get tickets when I park there. I should have parked in the garage, but that place kinda freaks me out, and I was dressed up. It's not like I could have run away from danger as fast as I could if were in casual clothes. I don't often think like that when I'm in my city, but I'm not stupid, I know it is Detroit and danger lurks in more places than what I'd like to think.
Oh yeah, I can even pay my ticket online now. That's a big improvement since the last one! Isn't that exciting?
I can't talk on my cell phone in the city while I'm driving anymore. I primarily do this only after hockey games. But soon that will be a $100 dollar fine. Don't blame me if I'd rather stick to giving Kwame money in increments of twenty at a time. Not to mention city tax; but on my measley wages, it is no wonder his croonies always feel the need to give me a ticket.
Wish me luck, again.
