Life's a beach

For the first time in I don't know when, I woke up this morning without feeling like the world was closing in around me. I was able to enjoy a simple bowl of oatmeal while reading the newspaper. Then I went to get my haircut and then came back and relaxed a little bit before I had to go to Huntington for my interview at Estee Lauder. The funny thing was when I got there I called Bong to see where the entrance was but he didn't pick up. I was just done leaving him a message and before I hung up the phone I saw him standing outside right where I parked.

He introduded me to his manager Steve and we went into a small room to talk. It went really well, Steve was pretty laid back and it seemed as though he liked me. Even after I told him I am a big Mets fan. He kept talking to me as though I had the job in hand, making sure I was cool with the hours and gauging whether I was dependable or not. The whole time I had to keep myself from sounding too eager, little did he know how much I really need this job.
However, before I could be officially hired I have to meet one other guy who wasn't there. So I have to go back Friday to meet him and start my paperwork so I can start on Monday.

Afterwards Bong walked me out and then asked me whether I wanted to play some beach volleyball at Stingers later. I was feeling good and didn't see the need to go to the gym since we hit the weights pretty hard the last two days, so I agreed. As it turned out a team was missing most of their team and needed someone to play with them so they wouldn't have to forfeit. And although we didn't win a game (0-5), it was really great getting out there and throwing myself around in the sand. It's too bad I won't be able to play with them again since I'll be working nights now but hopefully I'll get out to the beach on the weekends and play there.

Goin to the Mets-Padres game with Jim and some of his co-workers tomorrow. I love goin to day games and the seats should be really good. Hopefully they can win tomorrow and complete the sweep before they head out on the road.
