Well, it's 1039hrs, and I have an interview at 1130hrs for a project management position with a company here in KC. The HR lady called me three different times a couple days ago, and we chatted about my resume and experiences... she seemed very interested, so hence the interview. I don't know if this is just an informational meeting, or actually gonna be a job offer... But I'm reservedly excited regardless.

So, wish me some good Polk Audio luck, and here's to a better birthday year! :D

This is what I applied for... I'm excited.

    Best o' luck. Knock 'em dead. Not literally, of course....
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    That's good advise...
    I might add be sure to maintain eye contact while slapping that sweet, sweet ****. In fact, be sure to call it "that sweet, sweet ****" while you're slapping it and making eye contact.

    This got me my present job at Waffle House.

    You guys are killing me...

    I spent over an hour there... talked to the HR lady and the Area Project Manager lady as well... :D An hour well spent too mind you.

    They really liked me, I could tell. APM lady said that she had two more interviews today and then would let me know Monday if I got it! She also said they were hiring for Three positions... so I know my odds are very good.

    The pay wouldn't be GREAT, a little more than I'm making now, but the opportunity to advance would be very good, as well as normal day time hours, so I could continue my education! Plus they have an attractive benefit's package, so that's a plus too.

    The drive would go from 5.5miles at my current job, to 13.33 miles (Thanks to mapquest) but it would ALL be hightway miles even though I would have to cross downtown. Only took me 15 minutes today, but of course it wasn't in the middle of rushhour either!

    If they offer it, I think I'll take it! It would be pretty much entry level Project Management but as I said before, the opportunity would be great, and it would give me tremendous experience. It's mostly a niche organization with four offices across the country. (Used to operate under Smith Saint John's?)

    Now I'm excited. Thanks guys for the good luck wishes! Here's hoping for Monday and a 2 week's notice!

    I like the way you think. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? I keep thinking he may need to bring along a pet monkey dressed in rodeo attire, but sometimes discretion is the key to success. At least that is what this poster on my "office wall" of an iceberg and a puma is telling me...
