GOOD NEWS!!

Hello!

Yesterday I had an appt at 11 am to see Manpower about data entry jobs they were posting on Knoxville News Sentinel that they were going to have job fair for.. So I got there at 10:45 am and waited for the interpreter to show up and unfortunately the interpreter was late due to traffic on I-40.. I usually plan ahead when I know I am going on I-40 because it seems whenever anyone goes on I-40, you will defintely be late! Anyway, the interpreter finally arrived by 11:15 am so we went in and I got started on application on computer then was going to do paperwork signing all the information for Manpower when I was told that it tends to take about 2 hours to go through the process and the interpreter was only scheduled for one hour.. And it was now 11:50 am, UGH! So we decided to set an appointment for today at 9:30 am and schedule another interpreter to show up for 2 hours..

I went back today and arrived there at 9:05 am and my appt was 9:30 am.. Mmm, gotta make time go fast so I went to bathroom, washed hands and got out and it was only 9:15 am! SHEESH!! So I decided to go ahead and get in and get started on my paperwork while waiting on interpreter, I was nearly finished with my paperwork when I looked at time and realized it was now 9:40 am and NO INTERPRETER AGAIN!!! SHEESH!!! So I emailed Goodwill who had made request for interpreter to show up at the appointment and inform them that the interpreter didn't show up yet. So by 9:45, the interpreter finally showed up and said "Sorry, stuck in traffic I-40, I left home at 8:45 am but got here late".. So I emailed Goodwill office and inform them that the intepreter showed up..

I went to post office to pick up our mail and got a letter from City of Knoxville saying I need to come on 29th for typing and written test for a job position I applied!! I am excited and HOPE that I do well on those tests to get an interview!! I hope to be able to work for City of Knoxville or something close to this type of position!!!

When I got home, I decided to call Knoxville Center for the Deaf who sent those interpreters to the appointment and told Janet Cheney that both interpreters were late.. I was told by Janet that the interpreter today had hard time finding the place and the phone number they were given to get in touch with Goodwill was in fact a fax number and they were not able to get information for interpreter to find the place.. Mmmmmmmmmmm........

:) Well, I am waiting to hear from Manpower to let me know what job assignments they will line up for me..

Till Then M-
