I'm assuming that I didn't get the job at the place I interviewed at last week. I'm going to drop in today anyways just to bu sure they hired someone else and didn't just lose my phone number.

But today I have an even BETTER interview; I'm going to try for a job at a local Antique Mall! If you've never been to one, it's a really nifty idea. One person rents out an old empty building, like a grocery store or abandoned K-Mart. Then they put up a bunch of flimsy walls, run a little bit of electrical wiring, and split it all up in to 10-foot "Booths". Rent the booths out to local people who have lots of Antiques/collectables to sell. Those people come in once a month to see what they've sold and collect their money! My job would be the sales end of it, where I actually ring stuff up, help people appraise their items, look out for shop lifters, and do general maintinence around the place. It sounds like lots of fun, kind of like a live-action "Buy It Now" Ebay!

Good luck with your interview today sweetie! Are you going to wear your Mickey tie?

Ya know, you should wear one of thoes vintage ties and then if you get any comments you could spout information about what year it was made, the maker and approx how much it is worth and then offer to give them a *great* deal on it!

The dying mall down the street took a large section of itself and made it into one of them. The down side being that the sellers are not there and are prone to try and get premium prices for their junk. One time I found one of the figures I need to complete my collection of Star Wars figures ('76-'77 Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot) for $35! Dream on buddy! It would have to still be in a pristine package to pull in that kind of scratch!

Yep, I am only missing 2 from the '76-'77 collection. Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot (Another kid 'lost' it) and Han Solo (straight out stolen).

All in excellent condition with guns and capes.
