The promotion job is coming to an end... last night was my last night on the job during the College World Series and I am working on Saturday and Sunday promoting Vault for AAA baseball team, the Omaha Royals. The past two days have been with Full Throttle and my boss was not as great as Heather and Jason (the boss couple for Vault). I'm glad the past two days are done!
I was rather frustrated that Georgia completely blew a 5-0 lead against Fresno State last night; however, I guess it paid off when Amanda (another Vault girl) and I were offered two box seats to the final National Championship game tonight! I am really looking forward to being able to go to the game and enjoy it in an air conditioned box seat, especially since it's 92 degrees out today. I am excited to hang out with Amanda too-she's leaving for the Peace Corps in February 2009. She's a really fun person to be around and we have quite a bit in common. I'm bummed that she's headed back to Portland, Oregon on Friday... she would have been a good friend to have around this summer.
I haven't had any luck finding other jobs. I called a coffee catering company this morning because they had a part-time barista job posted on Craig's List, but they had just filled the spot! I have sent a resume to a couple of companies that have posting for front desk/receptionist type work, so maybe I will hear something back from them. I really just want something simple and mindless... nothing that I makes me work (or think) too hard right now!
I am glad that the CWS will end today. I feel like I am giant hamburger with a cold beer on the side because that's all I've been putting into my body for the past 12 days. All of the food and drink has been free and that's pretty much all they've had, besides nachos and ice cream. I love baseball food. I mean, it's the classic "all-American" food. But, enough is enough. I am also happy for it to be over so that life can be back to normal for everyone around here. A little normalcy will be nice.
The US Olympic swim trials will be held in Omaha for the next week, so we will probably try and make it to one of the events. It will be really neat to see the best of the best to compete. I am completely enthralled at how they are turning the Qwest Center into a swimming arena! It's like normal arena, and they're going to put a swimming pool into the floor!!!
Overall, life in Omaha can't get much better. Jason and I are having a blast getting to hang out at random times and enjoy the city together. I love Brynn, the girl that I am living with, and I haven't even seen a tornado yet!
I am one lucky girl.
