  Thanks so much to everyone for their support over the past weeks.
  

  I truly appreciate it.

  Tim interviewed me every night this past week in order to get me ready. It was grueling and I was in tears (not due to any pressure from him, but because of my own inadequacies); I've relied in the past on my personal warmth and integrity to get jobs but really needed to learn how to answer difficult questions. In the end, I got it due to my warmth, "caring" nature (interviewer's words) and integrity.

  I know that sounds conceited. But these are the very reasons I am NOT successful at my current job.

  In this position, those qualities will be rewarded.

  So I am now an Assistant Manager (Trainee).

  Thanks, gang.

  And a word of advice: Always LOOK at your Gatorade before you drink it.

  EDITED: I don't want someone to rat me out before I leave.

  (The question is WHY would you want to drink it? Ugh. Nasty stuff.)

  I am spared learning the "ready to eat" line at work now; training starts tomorrow. Woo-hoo! No calls asking if Cap'n Cruch is gay for me!!!!

  Well, I'm not stating that I think my qualities are any better than someone who is rather stern or detached, those are great qualities in some positions. To say the least.

  Hey, congrats on the job, I (being the detective sort) could tell you really hated that last one.

  Now that you're outa there, so there is no longer any conflict of interest, uhmm..., is Capn' Crunch gay?

  The ready to eat team gets questions like that all the time.

  Apparently, there is also a porn site featuring Cap'n Crunch.

  Personally, I loathe the stuff.

  I was actually looking around at the stuff I'd be representing and thought, "there isn't a thing here I eat."

  Oh, except the oatmeal, but that's the "hot breakfast" team.
