I GOT A JOB!

Wed Jul 29, 2009, 3:19 PM
So last week, I get a call from Wal-Mart, they tell me they're going over applications, and they ask if I'm still open for employment. I'm like, "Dude!" (in my head). So I went in for two interviews, they both went well (as you can imagine), and the manager Jim was a nice guy--we got along pretty well. I called them back today, and they told me to come in so I could formally accept the job offer. I'm like, "Hell yes!" (in my head). Now all I gotta do is the drug test, which I know I'm gonna pass, 'cuz I've never done drugs in my life. Heck, I don't even drink. Then after that, they'll call me and tell me when my orientation is. Guess you know what that means...

I GOT THE JOB, BABY! w00t!

So yeah, for $8.20 an hour, I'm gonna be working part-time as a deli associate at Wal-Mart. This is so weird. I've never even worked for a big business before, much less Wal-Mart. And at the same time, this is so AWESOME! I feel good about this--I really think I can do the job. Plus, it'll be nice to be making my own money, 1) so I can pay for college, and 2) so I can buy stuff (ya know it).

Wish me luck!

P.S. On a side note, I hit 3333 pageviews today.

True, i didn't come here for my stupid pageviews, i came here to show everyone my artwork, and that's why its called DeviantArt, and i haven't seen anything here lately so i guess i wont come back till you have something.

I would assume you just read the "Why I Am Here" in my "About Me" tab. 'Cause that's why I came to deviantArt, also--for the opportunity to show my work to the world.

Anyway, I've been really busy lately (I haven't even been able to update my journal) so, I'm really sorry to say this, but it'll probably be a while before I draw anything new. However, I do wanna try to make a colored version of my Halloween pic from last year in time for this year. We'll see.

Quantity is not better than quality, don't get fooled by the number of pageviews it doesn't mean anything and you may get depressed if you don't get what you were waiting for.

Instead of that value the people who see your works, no matter if they are few, but they are people who is valorating your work

And yeah you may say I say that cause I am impopular and I conform with few things =P

Why are you taking this so seriously? I was just taking note of a spike in my pageview graph. You can't honestly think I care more about getting views than about the people who appreciate my work. That's the exact opposite of how I am.

Because it is the truth, many popular people make a lot of noise when they are getting decens, hundreds and thousands of pageviews, or watchers, creating a wrong "culture" of "quantity is better", making feel really sad people like me or others who have very few numbers compared with those persons.

I don't want you to become that way, I was just trying to give you advice, but if you don't feel it that way, well ... I screwed up everything ... again :( :cry:
