Sleeping. Phone rings. I don’t usually bother with it, but I thought I recognised the number, wasn’t sure how, so I picked up.
Me: Errmm .. hello?
Person: This is Linda from Apple 12 Oaks. May I speak to Katherine?
Me: This is…
Here I am pulled out of dead sleep into half daze.
I think there was small talk here.
Linda: I’m doing well. I’m calling about an official job offer.
Me: O… k…
Linda: I just want to go over some things. I know you’ve worked some retail, but I just want to make sure you’re aware of some ….
See, now. I am so used to horrible things happening to me and nothing ever working out. Honest, I shit you not, I’m only half hearing what she’s saying about flexibility in schedule and the number of hours I’ll be working, and I’m waiting… Because with the way everything has gone for me, I figure she’s going to say, “I’m calling to officially not offer you the job.”
She reaches the end, gives me a number and says, “Do you need some time to think about it?”
Me: No!
I hung up the phone and screamed. Really. Still flipping when I called my dad. I started spamming my entire contact list with “I GOT THE JOB WITH APPLE”. Suckers.
I’M GOING TO BE A MAC GENIUS!!!!
