The Most Epic Fail of All

Today I had a really long day with back to back triple interviews. After I was done, I headed to Books-A-Million because I can pick up WiFi there for free with my grandma's membership card for their rewards program. I sat there for a few hours critiquing a resume and cover letter for a friend of mine. When I got done I headed out to where I parked my car.

When I got to my car, my trunk wouldn't pop. I didn't think it was a big deal because sometimes my button doesn't work on my keyless. I went to manually key into my car when I noticed that my driver's side mirror was gone. I thought someone had hit my car an ran, so I was MAD. And yelling some choice words. Then I realized my driver's window was gone...so clearly someone had knocked off my mirror then used it to bust out my window. All of my bags were gone from my backseat (make-up bag, Vera Bradley duffel, everything). I immediately call the police, and while on the phone, I tried to unlock my doors, but my key wouldn't work.

Then it hit me. It wasn't my car.

The police officer laughed when I embarrassingly told him what happened. Then, while I am on the phone still and my keys are in the door...the owner of that car comes up. A young 16 year old girl and I was like "Uhh I thought this was my car" Hahaha. She said she knew she shouldn't have parked near me....our cars are same model, make, year, and color....hilarious.

I am loving all of the sarcastic comments on Facebook, ya'll. Loving it!

Sorry officer!

If I Write A Blog, They Will Hire

(Did anyone get the "If you build it, they will come" reference? I thought it was funny)

I have had what feels like a billion job interviews. I have driven around the state...no ALL OVER the state at the beck and call of several principals. The other day I went to an interview, and they were running late so I got to talk to the women who were waiting. Two were recent graduates like me, and two were not. Of the two that were not recent graduates...one had been a teacher for 8 years in that county....and the other one had been a teacher in SAUDI ARABIA for the past 17! I mean, how do I compete with that? I wanted to turn around and walk out, but I did pretty well in the interview. Maybe if I get lucky someone will want to hire me as a recent graduate with fresh teaching knowledge and 0 experience.....

This has led me to create the resume I wish that I could hand in:


Objective:
To obtain a job where I can earn money only to waste it on a cute wardrobe, fabulous accessories, shoes I’ll never wear, and going out to eat at places I cannot afford.

Education:
All the education I needed came from reality television: Survivor, The Real World, The Real Housewives, Kate Plus Eight, and 19 Kids and Counting
Anything else I know came from reading Southern Living and Paula Deen magazines front to back for the past five years

PS-thanks to Renn, I am now addicted to Pinterest. If you are on Pinterest, leave me a comment so I can follow you!

Under Construction

I didn't realize how DIFFICULT it is to upload new templates. I want to smack myself for starting this late at night. Excuse my ugly blog. The changes on blogger are RIDICULOUS...it needs to go back to the old way where I could copy and paste and my blog would be PERFECT with a nice text, background, and color scheme. Just ignore it for a couple of days until I straighten it back out.

The Old North State

There has been little to no time for blogging. I have been all across the state for interviews and a friend's wedding. In the past few weeks, I've put 2000 miles on my car traveling all across North Carolina. I love North Carolina and think it's beautiful and all, but I am tired of driving around it!

I mapped out my trip on Google maps...here is where I've been: 1674 miles and 1 day and 8 hours of nonstop driving (according to Google Maps)



I have seen some interesting things along the way:
A bear someone had JUST hit and killed with their car
A water well where 9 foot tall wooden figures of Batman, Captain America, and Spiderman were all just chilling by the wall
Acres of Corn/Tobacco
The East Carolina Coon Hunting Association Meeting Lodge


And my personal favorite (yes this is real):



Yes, that's right folks. For all of you Farmville playing people out there...Farmville does exist. It is a real place. And it is right here in North Carolina. You can stop and plow the fields, harvest your crops, and feed the chickens and cows.
