quick update.

After talking with my folks and Dr. James I have decided to not take the insurance salesman job. Funny thing is I spoke with Dr. James tonight-while drinking a beer at the Mobile Beer Festival. It was awesome. He agreed with me and my hesitation. He said that I could probably find a better job. So once again I'm still looking for a job. Which is alright with me. I'm sure its going to be worth the wait. In a few hours I hope to be looking at Mars-which supposedly is as big as the moon according to Maggie. I can't wait! Haha. Just kidding.

2 for 2

Well, I had my second interview last week. And once again I got the job. Sigh. Ha. Just kidding. I'm not disappointed I got it. But, I have to make a decision whether or not I want to take the job offering. Heres what the job entails. Its an insurance salesman. Sounds awesome doesn't it? The guy I spoke with told me I could make good money just by meeting the minimum sales requirement (about $50,000-$100,000/yr). Of course part of the pay is commission and the more sales I make the more money I make. I'm kind of hesitant because I don't how easy it is to make sales in the insurance business. The minimum requirement for this office is 4 sales a week. And of course the guy I talked to was once an insurance salesman himself so I don't know if he was trying to sell me the job. But he offered me the job, which is cool cause I have something to consider. I'll let yall know what I decide. And also let me know if yall have any suggestions and whatnot. Cobb, out!

So I recently got a job at the Mobile Airport Authority. I started Wednesday and it turns it out it was a really cool job. I loaded and unloaded luggage off passenger jets for U.S. Airways. Which was pretty cool cause I got to be near jets and got to see how they work and such. Plus, in between plane arrivals I watched TV. I spent about 5 or 6 hrs out of my 8hr shift watching TV. And also I got a behind the scenes look at what happens at an airport like with security and other daily operations which also was really interesting. BUT...the job was low pay (7.50/hr) and part time, which really wasn't a problem cause I was hoping to keep my job at TCBY to make up for the low pay and part time. But a problem does arise with the shifts. Our shifts are based on plane schedules. If we are on the schedule from 8-4 that means we are working the mid-day planes, which come in at 1150, 230, and 320. But planes sometimes have delays. So we would have to stay until the planes come in. For instance, a co worker was telling me a few weeks ago the 7pm flight was 4 hrs late. She was suppose to get off at 8 but ended up getting out of there at 1130. If the shifts are based on flight schedules then that kind of creates a problem with working at TCBY at night. There would be no way for me to work at TCBY, or any other job, and at the airport due to the sporadic and unreliable shift times at the airport. So after talking with my folks last night they convinced me into quitting and looking for another job that is better pay and more hours. I agreed with them knowing that a college graduate with a degree in finance and economics from Spring Hill College deserves more than a part time job with low pay. [While working there for the 2 days when I would tell people that I graduated college the most common response was, "What the hell are you doing here?] So as of 8am this morning I quit. Which was hard to do because I liked the job and my co workers a lot. But it had to be done. So my job search continues. This reminds my of that time when I was in search of gold in the Old West, which I will tell you about on another blog. Peace out!

who wants a twinkie?

I just got done reading bits of Caitlins blog (there's not much to do at 1am and I'm trying to get to sleep---haha! you got buuuuurrrrnnnneed!). Then I got to the portion about me and my deep hatred for the harry potter hype and how Caitlin is not my "groupie" anymore. So I guess I need to clear the air on some stuff. If you are looking for an apology stop reading. First off, no, I am not on drugs. Fourth, I am not a Vatican secret agent... or am I? Eleventeenth, body snatchers are not known to inhabit Alabama, only Lousianna and other parts of Hell that I shall not mention in either breath or key (haha I like that--it sounds classic while having a modern flare). Oh yea by the way, I am the Man. I thought everyone knew that. So Caitlin, you were 20% right. Good job. That would be an F- if you were still in school.

i'm having writers block

so no new blog from me. unless i get inspired. send some suggestions maybe.
