Day 3 of a Hooters Hopeful

So, today was day 3 of the 3-5 days to be contacted by Hooters and I must say I have NEVER felt so anxious to have a job call me back! My anxious feelings mixed with my impatience (a little flaw of mine) has me looking at my phone every second hoping that every phone call will be them. I mean, yes, I really want to work there but more importantly I REALLY need a job down here! Haha!

 Now I know what everyone is thinking: "Why don't you get a job somewhere else?" Well I am looking at other jobs...Its just right now I'm looking at getting a job at Hooters!...hopefully, anyways haha! Not only that but I'd really prefer to have a serving job...preferably one that involves an uber cute uniform...preferably a uniform that consists of a tank top and orange shorts with scrunched socks and white Skechers! Haha, just saying...

Another Girl Applying at Hooters

So, a few days ago (on Tuesday to be exact) I decided to apply at Hooters. Some would ask why, but I mean why not?! You get to look cute at work, and actually have fun (outsider looking in). And what girl can honestly say she doesn't want to wear that tacky tank top and bright orange shorts? I'm pretty sure she'd be lying if she said she didn't want to! 

Anywho, I finally went to apply, and I must say I was pretty nervous! I knew beforehand that I was going to, so like any other hopeful, I spent a lot more time on my hair and makeup. Everything had to look great! It was a hot Florida day, so I wore a white tank, some jean shorts, and a wedge heeled sandals...I felt like Daisy Duke! Finally, when everything was perfect, I hopped in my car, and 30 minutes later I was there! I walked in, smiled at the bartender and some other guy who worked there (not sure if he was the manager or not though), went up to one of the working Hooters girls and asked for an application! She grabbed one for me and said I could sit anywhere. Now, I'm already a server at another restaurant so thankfully i had a pen and didn't have to ask for one (can you say "adding to the already awkward situation?) When I was done, I got up and gave it to her and said I wasn't sure who to give it to. She yelled out some guys name (the same guy from the bar) and I guess he was a manger, we'll call him "J", but I am not too sure. J came over and took the application, shook my hand and introduced himself, and said they'd give me a call in 3-5 days and that if i didn't hear anything from them, to feel free to call to check on it. Although my heart sank because I heard they interview on spot, I smiled, shook his hand and said "Okay, thank you very much!" And left. 

I was so confused, slightly discouraged, and a little upset. "No interview?" I thought. I was upset about it because I wanted the opportunity to speak  with the manager and explain my current situation about the traveling and whatnot. Oh well, let the waiting game begin...

Once Upon a Time...

Well, I won't take it that far back haha! However, instead I'll give a somewhat brief overview. So, my husband and I have been married for almost 6 months and, although I knew this earlier, we are 2 completely different people! To put it simply, he's a conservative and I'm more liberal! Get the idea now?  We are trying to adjust to the newlywed life and are finding that its not easy in anyway. We have our counseling sessions when needed and are trying to work out our communication issues. He's older than I am, by about 6 years, and so I always credit his patience because of his age! It takes a lot of patience to deal with me (to say the very least!)

But moving on...

We, for his business purposes, travel back ad forth from MD to FL. While I am in Florida, I'm trying to find a job that'll be okay with my traveling situation (I know, crazy thinking, right?). We usually spend a couple weeks here and a couple weeks there. Its insane, basically haha! I'm just hoping that I am able to find a job. My job back home in MD is okay with my schedule and they work with it...but I've also worked for them for almost 3 years now. Needless to say, seniority and favoritism has its perks...occasionally. A lot of people always ask why don't I just work for my husband? And the answer is simple: 1) I don't want it to affect our relationship, and 2) If I need something to fall back on and become completely desperate I will work for him! But until then, haha I think I am okay with my current situation. 
I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do with my life (after college I mean, my major right now is Social Sciences with a minor in Psychology), and what I want to do in the meantime. I know I need to find a job...I GOT BILLS like everyone else! Haha!

The next post talks about one particular job that I don't have a problem with however my conservative hubby^^^^^ does...but we'll see how it plays out...
