Tests and Interviews and New Jobs

Yay! I passed my type test. I even got eligibility - high. I didn't think I would, 'cuz I don't think I type as fast as Becky, who also got eligibility - high. I was so relieved I passed the type test, I forgot to get an employment packet and had to go back and buzz the door again. The girl who got me the packet said, "Oh, they should have given you a packet if you passed the type test."

There was only one other person who took the type test when I did. I don't think he passed. He was very nice. I told him my sister said you should make sure to get a packet. He walked out without one, even when I told him I was waiting for one.

Hmmm... I hope he didn't fail because I was asking the test administrator a question at the end of my test. It was weird because the computer said that at the end of the test it would tell you to go tell the administrator you were done. Did it? Not exactly, instead it said: if your test was interrupted and you want to resume, click this button, if your test is done, click this button. How was I supposed to know if my test was done?

Fearing my test had been interrupted and that seconds were ticking away, I asked: "Is my test done?" The administrator said, "Shhhhh! He's still taking his test!" I said: "Oops!" or something to that effect. Luckily, my test WAS done and not just interrupted. And I passed!

Meagan had a job interview today at HC. She will start working there at the skating rink on Friday. Now we get to start juggling cars even more! We're all getting new jobs, it looks like. I hope I get one soon. My 3 year anniversary at MSC is coming up on January 9 and I really don't want to still be working there by then.

how does meagan like her job? SKATING rink sounds like a fun job for a teenager who will be 18 next week and is athletic herself.

Meagan seems to like her new job. She said last night she skated 4 hours--which was pretty much her entire shift. Fun job, huh?
