Yesterday was my day off, so I slept in like always. Around 11am my phone rings, and its a number I've never seen before, so I ignored it. Then I saw that they left a voicemail. I listen to the voicemail and the girl said, "Hello, this message is for Karla Serrano. I'm calling from Patina restaurant here at the Hollywood Bowl. You recently submitted a resume to work at the Hollywood Bowl for this upcoming season. I did send you an email on how to finish up your application, If you have any questions please call me back at _ _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _." Then I thought, "Wait, What? I never applied at the Hollywood Bowl!" Then I remember that I sent my resume to an ad that said something like, "Do you like working with food? Do you like meeting new people? .... Blah blah blah" but I didn't KNOW that ad was for the Hollywood Bowl! I was very surprised! So, I checked my email, and it had instructions on what to do. It said that I had to go to the Hollywood Bowl and fill out the paper work anytime from 10am-6pm. So I quickly got up and got ready and I headed out to the bowl. I called my dad since he works at the Hollywood Bowl (for 15+ years) and I told him that I was on my way to fill out paper work for my NEW job! He was NOT happy. He immediately started talking about how am I going to work both jobs, blah blah blah! How Im never going to go back to school , that I prefer to work! He just kept going on, and ON!
Anyway! I showed up at the Hollywood Bowl, and I walk into the office and this man greets me with a handshake. Then he hands me W2 for papers to fill out. I was like "Wtf? They're not going to interview me or anything???" So, after I filled out the paper work, he says "Ok, orientation is next week, and there we'll discuss wages and everything else. . . . . Thank you have a great day!" I was surprised! hahaha They never interviewed me, they never made me fill out my job history nor my education history information. It was wam-bam-here-you-go-take-this-job kinda thing! I loved it! They went straight to the point!
Later on I found out that two of my co workers at the theater got hired there too! :) Yay! How exciting! I cant wait to start working there. I love the Hollywood Bowl, it feels like a second home. Most of the workers that work with my dad know me already. They're funny :)
So, I've decided to go back to school in the fall. Mainly because my dad keeps bringing it up, but also because what else am I going to do with my life? Work at El Cap the rest of my life? I dont fucking think so. I cant stand that place. Some of the people who work there are just unbelievably lazy and ignorant! Seriously. It's so discouraging, if they're not going to do their job and get away with it then why am I busting my ass there? I'm done caring for that job. I changed my availability there to 9am-1pm for the whole summer :) The less time that I spend there, the better. I rather work for the Hollywood Bowl 100x more!
I just want to graduate from school, and get a great job, get a house for my parents, get a house for me and my panda, get married, have little pandas, go on vacations. I want to do a lot of things before I die.
