Ever wonder what Zac would look like with no eyebrows and a moustache? Me neither.
So, things have been a bit crazy around these parts. Pound for pound, life is beautiful at the moment.
As many of you may know, I didn't get the original internship with the world's biggest shoe company that I had applied for, but instead of giving me the boot, they gave me yet another opportunity to interview with a different department. Anyway, I went through one initial phone screen for the new job, then, on Friday, I had a 5-person conference call with the team I'd be working with.
Anyway, this interview (5-person conference calls are SO stressful) was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Friday morning. I had anticipated waking up at 7:00 a.m. so I'd be prepped and awake, so you can understand how pissed off I was when my alarm went off at 8:00 a.m. -- I fucked up the night before. Anyway, the interview went quite well, I was a charming motherfucker (as always). They tell me they'll let me know by early next week if I got the job or not, because, I guess, they had one more person to interview.
So, 2:35p.m. rolls around, I'm in class, I get a call. Now, usually, I usually just hit ignore, but this call was from THEM. I got up, ran out of the lecture hall, paused for a second (realizing my heart was pounding [whoa]) -- then answered.
"This is Eric"
"Hi Eric, this is ***** with Staffing just calling to talk about your interview"
"Oh yeah?" -- my heart is racing at this point
"How did you think it went?"
"Pretty well, actually, it was a bit daunting having all those people on the phone, but everyone seemed very personable"
"That's great, conference calls can be a bit scary"
"No kidding"
::weird, awkwardly long pause::
"Well, we'd like to offer you a Summer Internship"
at this point, I almost came.
So yeah, Eric will be living in Beaverton, working in the IT department, writing programs and testing them. All while racking in an amazingly large/ fat fuckin' paycheck (they are also giving me a $2000 stipend up front). Life is fucking good.
I am going to buy a motorcycle. one that can go like 400mph.
