Ah. The second day of interviews at Target are over with. Three of the four jobs I interviewed for seemed to be very monotonous and tedious jobs. They were working doing reconciliations for either payroll dept, or the accounts of all the actual stores. The payroll job seemed that it would be more of a call center for stores trying to do payroll stuff in addition to doing the reconciling the accounts. It sounded like most of the reconciliation was done automatically, so I would just look for where things don't match up. The job that sounded the most interesting was in the Travel dept. I interviewed with one of the women last time at Target when I was interviewing for the Accounting Associate positions. The interview with her and her supervisor was odd. The supervisor said that she really didn't have any questions for me, but just wanted to meet me. I guess that is a good thing. After the marathon of interviews, I met with the HR lady finally. I've talked to her a few times on the phone, but didn't have a chance to meet her face to face until today. She seemed real nice. She went over some of the benefit stuff. The health and dental don't kick in for 90 days. Another bonus is the discounts at Target, Marshall Field's, and Mervyn's stores. Target doesn't pay for parking downtown. So my options will be drive my car there and pay anywhere between $5.75 and $7.75 each day or take the bus. I would probably end up doing a park and ride thing so drive halfway to Minneapolis and then catch the bus the rest of the way. From what the HR woman said I will know either tomorrow or early next week.
I inadvertently inherited a digital camera from my dad. He went out and bought a new Olympus camera. He asked me to help him post his old 35mm on Ebay to sell and he gave me the digital camera for doing that. So now I'm trying to figure out what all the options mean on the camera. I think I'll just keep it on auto so I don't have to think about it. I don't have much to take pictures of now since I'm here at home by myself. I'm going through picture withdrawl, because I realized that I really don't have that many pictures of my girl and I. So I've been trying to find as many as I can, but all I came up with was one that she took with her camera a week before she went back to Madison. I plan on seeing her once I get a job, so I can take some then.
Other than interviewing and messing with a digital camera I've been playing a ton of Metroid Prime. I told myself that I was only going to play Metroid Prime until I beat it. The game has this cool feature that it tells you the percentage of the game you have completed and how much time you have played. When I started I was at around 13% or 14%, I played one night for an hour or so, and boosted it up to around 21%. At that time I have maybe 4-5 hours playing. The last couple days I've been playing and I now have just over 8 hours and have only completed 31%. So I think within the next month I should be able to finish the game. Then I can move on and focus on Pikmin or something. Hopefully, I won't have that much free time in the future.
