Pay attention

9 o'clock this morning the phone rang. I never even heard it because I was in the most comfortable sleep of the past three days, maybe even the best of the week. But I was roused from my late morning slumber when it was indicated that the telephone caller was for me. Evidently the state job I applied for last month has closed the listing and decided they will hold interviews. Last night I made plans to leave town Sunday but those plans are unfortunately postponed since Monday is the only day they will be holding the interviews.

I was speaking clearly on the phone but my mind was still very groggy at that hour. I know what time my interview is scheduled, but I didn't catch the room number, interviewer's name or much of any information beneficial to me. Had I been on my toes, maybe I would have asked a few more questions. I've long since deleted the informative email I received upon applying. But I think I can find the original posting online and get a phone number and address from that page.

The job title is Graphics & Printing Technician I. It is an entry level, casual seasonal position and the pay is $10.94 per hour. Two hours will be spent every day commuting to and from Dover. I should pray that I don't obtain anymore speeding tickets via that route.
