|Habit| repeating songs
|Feel| headache
|Think| I hope I got the job.

I had applied at about 7 stores in the mall hoping for some part-time job until I found a computer job. Well I do have the site I'm doing for Dave, which I will be done with in the next few days. Steve also works with a guy who's son has a golf shop in town and is looking to start a site and I was mentioned to him. I still have to get up to the store to talk to him about it though. I finally got a call back from New York & Company on Monday. On Tuesday I got a call from Borders, but they only wanted me for a seasonal job with the calendar store which will be opening soon for the holiday season. I had my interview with NY&C today. It was a group interview, which was a first for me, and I think it went pretty well. I was the first one there by about a half hour, and I talked to the lady who was going to be interviewing me up until the interview started. We had to do fake shopping experiences where we were the employee and we were helping out a customer. We did it in the back room and just pretended to have items and whatnot. This was for them to get an idea if we were a good sales person, since you can be taught how to do the job but you can't be taught how to sell. I think I did well with it all. I wasn't even nervous about it. The only reason for that was because it wasn't for a job in my field, and it was only for some temporary part-time job that I didn't even need to take. It seems that you have to have 4 customers per week to get a NY&C card or try to get one. That was the only thing that seemed like it'd be difficult. I don't see that many people wanting to get a card each week. You have to consider how many employees there are and how many people are going to come in as well as how many people already have cards. The biggest problem for that is that the job is only for 10-15 hours a week which would be like 3 days. I don't see that happening at all. Maybe I'll get the job and find out if it actually does work. The thing with it was that there were 6 or 7 people supposed to show up for the interview and there were only 4 of us. One girl showed up a few minutes late. One girl's attempt at selling wasn't too good because she was helping another girl with trying clothes on and she asked if they looked good on her. She told her that the color wasn't right and that she should go with another one. That's not the way sales work. I've never worked in a store and I know that you always tell the customer that they look good. I'd be pissed if someone told me a color wasn't right for me, especially after she asked for that particular color. So between us 4, I think I have a good shot at it.

|Sound| "This Magic Moment" Platters
|Habit| being sick
|Feel| in love
|Think| I can't believe how lucky I am.

And so I'm married. I just can't believe how lucky I am to have gotten Sean. He's just so perfect, and he's mine. I love him more than anything and everything. All I can do is smile and get close to crying when I think about how much I love him and how perfect life is. I don't know how I got through 18 years without him because now I wouldn't even make it a day without him.

Our wedding turned out pretty well. We didn't want a wedding, but it ended up being a small one. We also didn't want a religious guy performing the ceremony, but that happened too. Luckily it was shortest ceremony I've ever been through and the religious part didn't matter because it was just about getting married. As soon as the ceremony started, I realized I was going to cry and was trying to hold it back. I managed to do so for a short bit of time, but the moment Sean started talking there was just a flood of tears from happiness. The moment I started crying though, Sean just smiled at me and that made me smile even through the crying. He didn't think I was going to be able to talk, and I wasn't sure either, but I did. I cried through the rest of the ceremony after that. I can't wait to see the pictures from after the ceremony though. Hopefully they all turned out alright.

Now when people ask what Sean and I did on our wedding day, we get to respond by saying that we reinstalled XP back on our computer. We were going to order Yu Yu Hakusho but the computer was being incredibly slow so we restarted it. Well it wouldn't start back up after that because it claimed that some file was missing and it wouldn't go anywhere. Luckily we just placed XP over itself so we didn't lose any of our files or anything. However we did have to put the Windows files into a different folder since Windows already existed so all of our programs are under the old folder that isn't the one the system is pulling from. We're still getting things moved around on it.
