Yesterday could've been one of those days where nothing will go your way, but fortunately there are still people out there with good intentions.
Dressed in professional attire, I attended the job fair at Cal Poly. There were about 40 different companies and about 400 undergrads zigzagging through them. I was one of those 400 undergrads, and Enterprise was one of those companies. I found a great connection with their representative, Angie, and she showed much interest in me. We followed up with our meeting for a formal interview next week.
Later that night, Glenn picked me up and we headed out to Chino Hills. We went to Best Buy and we zoned out at the video game demos they had set up. Then I made my purchases and we proceeded to Glenn's car. But before I opened the passenger's side door, I realized I didn't have my phone with me. And in that split second, both Glenn and I realized that I had set my phone on top of one of those stations where we were playing the games. I quickly rushed back to that exact location, only to find nothing. I retraced my steps back to the entrance, disappointed in myself, but a father and son came up from behind and asked me if I was looking for my phone. My spirits were quickly lifted and I answered YES! with a smile. They said that they had given it to one of the managers. I received my phone back, with great admiration of those two.
Right after that little heart attack, we had to make a pit stop to the nearest Red Box because I had to return a movie. The deadline was at 9p.m. while the time was currently 8:54p.m. We quickly arrived at the nearby Albertson's and I jumped out of the car as soon and Glenn pulled over. There was a LINE! I already gave up and accepted the fact that I would just get charged for another night, no biggie. But the customers in front of me let me return my movie first because she acknowledged the deadline. They were just going to browse through the movies but they were considerate enough to think about my situation.
Thanks to those people, things are looking more optimistic around here.
