It's raining...

And in a city, or at the very least, Chicago, that means everyone has gone CRAZY! Seriously, it took me 30 min to drive to DePaul just now - it's normally a 7 minute drive. It's not because there's more traffic, it's because there is dumber traffic. Everyone loses their mind - pedestrians included. Instead of using crosswalks, to avoid the rain, they'll leapfrog accross busy streets from awning to awning. Like I said, crazy.

Still haven't heard from the video store - I'm getting worried. And because I don't know protocol in these situations, I'm not sure what to do - do I call them? Do I wait another week and then call? Or do I just cash in my chips and fold? Either way, I need a job. NOW.

Speaking of jobs - I've got one at the Adler in an hour. Normally a 20 minute drive, but I should probably go now, and I'll still be late. Not sure how LSD is during the rain (That's Lake Shore Drive for you non-locals). On the other hand, though? It's not a bajillion degrees outside, which makes me happy. Not to mention, I just plain love rain. No storms, yet, but it's supposed to for the next three days. *whoot*

Love y'all.

Did the video store give you a day/date by when you'd hear? If that's passed, you're fully reasonable to call and politely ask if you did not get the job. Normally, unfortionately, not hearing means bad news I think. For me it has. :-(

If it's just been a few days and they didn't tell you when to expect to hear, weigh your options. You can call anonomously and ask if the position that was open has been filled yet. You can ID yourself and ask for more info.

Either way, it doesn't hurt to keep applying to other places. And check your campus while you're there, maybe someone there would hire you for something. :-)

*hugs* and good luck!

I called. Didn't get it:(. But, things are looking up right now, so yay!

I'd phone 'em - keeness for a job never put off a prospective employer and sometimes showing that extra bit of interest swings a decision in your favour.
Good luck.
