But I doubt that this one singular website is out to get me and not refreshing when I’m telling it to. It’s definitely refreshing, it’s just that what I want to appear on the screen isn’t appearing as fast as I want it to.

Or you didn’t get the job.

The stupid thought makes it into my head and it stays there for a solid ten seconds before I shake my head and blow the thought away.

Even though it’s a huge possibility that I didn’t get the job, I’m not going to think negatively until I officially have an answer.

Positive thoughts.

So many damn positive thoughts.

I let out a sigh and try to center myself as best as I can.

It’s been a total of three weeks since the night that I applied for the assistant position at Lane Enterprises.

Because of how well sought out this company is, I had put my application on the back burning and concentrated on checking in with the other fourteen applications I put in that night.

I never thought I was going to hear back, because why would I? I have no experience in this field, they have no reason to call me in for an interview.

That was my mind set for three whole days, but on the fourth day, that mindset changed drastically.

Why? Well, because on the fourth day, I got an email from who ever was in charge of the hiring for the position and offered me an interview.

I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw the notification staring back at me.

Me.

A freshly graduated twenty-five year old with masters in business administration degree in her back pocket, and no corporate experience whatsoever, got an interview at the one company I thought was a fever dream.

Jaw fucking dropped.

I couldn’t believe it.

I still can’t believe it and I’ve already gone through very long interview process that ended three days ago. The fact that I even got an interview blows my mind and my mind continues to be blown as I wait for a response from said interview to come in.

The lady that interviewed me, Linda, said that an email should land in my inbox today letting me know the conclusion of my application process.

I’ve been hitting refresh since five o’clock in the morning, and now two hours later, no said email has arrived.

Refresh.

No new messages.

Fucking perfect. Today is going to be a very long day.

Somewhere in the distance an alarm goes off, and I let my head drop back.

I was so entertained with refreshing my email, that I completely forgot about getting, at the very least, a granola bar ready for my sister.

Great. This job is already a distraction, it’s probably going to be a pain in the ass if I get it.

When.

When I get it, because I will be getting this jobs. Those Lane Enterprises employees will be stupid not to hire me.

You’re stupid for obsessing so much about this job.

I need to shut my mind up from saying stupid shit.
