The job interview.

Today was the day that it hit me that school was over, and the next part of my life was about to unfold. I applied for a job online not too long ago at the Australian Tax Office and I recently got an email back saying that I have been advanced to the next stage and have been accepted for an interview. I went in this morning in a modified version of my formal suit, like it was the same suit but I had my school white shirt on underneath the suit jacket instead of whichever shirt I wore for formal, I can’t remember. Now my auntie works at the tax office, she’s the one that told me about this opening that I could go for. My auntie and another sort of auntie, like she’s a family friend that I think we are really distantly related to or something, I don’t know, but they have both been stressing for me making sure that I know what I am going to say in the interview and all that, they have been making me research what the job is, what it will involve me doing, who the chief of Australian taxation is... all these things and more just so if they ask me in the interview, which they said that they definitely will, I would know.

The interview was scheduled this morning at eleven in the morning and that is exactly when it started. I walked in to shake the hand of the first woman who was the question asker, and then I walked over to shake the hand of the other woman who was the one that wrote down what I responded to the questions with. I am fairly happy with how I went in the interview, and if all they have to judge is what I said in the interview and how my application and resume look, then I think I have a fairly good chance of getting the job. I am just angry that they didn’t ask anything about anything that I had researched and noted, as in nothing, they just asked me questions about what kind of a person I am and what I am good at and everything.

As much as I felt as though I was moving on in the world, I still felt like a kid, because I went there with my mum, and then she took me home and she said she wanted to get me a present because she was so proud of me. She didn’t really say she wanted to, I was just hinting that I want to get a Nintendo DS soon and the new Pokémon and mum said that she would just buy it for me because she is so proud, and this made me extremely happy. I got changed from the suit back into my normal shorts and a t-shirt and we made our way to EB Games where we bought a pre owned DS for seventy five dollars and Pokémon Platinum for fifty bucks. I traded in some shitty Xbox games to make the whole thing cheaper but it was still, probably the most amazing thing that has happened in a long time.

Now Chris just got here with his DS so I am going to let him into the house and we will just crank some Platinum all day, until indoor, should be amazing. Now that Yellow’s behind me I guess that there won’t be any more Pokémon updates for Yellow, this will be the last one. From now on, expect Platinum updates... man I’m so happy.
