Of Malls, Whales and Bonding (Should have been posted on April 11)

Summer, thankfully I have no classes to attend so there’s free time for other more lucrative pursuits such as the advent of summer jobs. Mitch, Ann and I all headed out into the real world to look for employment, first stop is the Korean Teaching Institute. This particular endeavor unfortunately didn’t work out because we were too young. Apparently they were looking for people who were along the lines of 25-ish and above.

Then I heard from my brother about this call center in Market! Market! in Global City called Ambergris Solutions. The three of headed over there to apply. It was a grueling process that took us 12 hours to complete, but it was worth it in the end because we all passed. Whoohooo!!!!!!!

Hello, money!

Anyway, while undergoing the series of interviews, we had to wait around for hours on end and we were there inside the closed shopping mall, something I never thought I’d ever experience because felony does not really appeal to me at all. It was kind of cool in an eerie sort of way, to be inside a mall alone with your friends while it was closed.


We all got home around the wee hours of the morning. Ann’s mom and older sister picked us up from the fountain at Market! Market! where we were singing/yodeling like crazy people. Mitch slept at my house, or more accurately, she stayed in my room and we talked until around six and then I went with her to the terminal where she could ride a tricycle and begin her journey homewards.

All in all, it was a pretty good day, the summer is shaping up to be a busy one but seems worth it. We didn’t have a camera with us though which is a shame so we all resolved to bring one next time…and also a mode of entertainment in case such mind numbingly long hours were required of us once more.
