Oils Changed?

Cam came over yesterday to do his laundry and mentioned that an oil change place in Brighton had a now hiring sign up. He thought it was Valvoline or Victory Lane or something of the sort.

Dragging my tired ass out of bed this morning I threw on some clothes and headed out, much to Jen insistence. I crused up to the Valvoline place up town, which is the only oil change place in Brighton that my mind remembers. Not only where they not hiring they where rather rude about it. After a moments pondering I realized that Cameron works on Old 23 and maybe it was one in the little automotive strip right there, Cruize in Oil or what ever. I popped in and asked the tech there, who said they where not hiring but I could do an app all the same. Right on, never hurts. I took the 2 minutes to fill out the 2 sides of paper, then decided to head towards the 7-11 on Pleasant valley cause they tend to need weekend people a lot. They didn't, but I left an app any way. I'm on a roll so far I guess, 3 stops with 2 apps turned in, the ass at Valvoline wouldn't even give me one. On my way back home I drive by the Victory Lane that I tend to ignore because it's on the 'cluttered' side of Grand River. They have a big 'Now Hiring' sign up.

I pull in, walk in the door and wait about 5 minutes for the guy to crawl out from under the car he is working on. He pokes his head into the office, tells me someone will be right with me. I wait another minute or two before the manager comes out. I tell him that I saw the sign, and could I please get an app. He says sure, and if I get it back in today he can look it over. I pop out to the van, fill it out right quick and give it back to him. After looking it over and asking me a couple of questions about my previous employer, I told him was Tim's company and I did all the service work on his trucks. Which isn't a lie, it was all true for the 2 months I worked there.

I'm told that it all looked good, that he had one position open. He's going to start calling references on the few apps that he has then make some interviews in the next couple of days

Cam if your reading this, then remember your my #1 reference. I worked for a landscaping company, and I serviced all their trucks. I only put Tim's (Michigan Environmental) for 2 months, before that it was all LaFave Enterprises, where I again serviced the trucks. Which is also not a lie.

At any rate, this is the first application I've turned in that seems hopeful. But maybe it's because it's the first one I've turned in that I got to talk to the person in charge.

Or perhaps it's just because he put it in front of his computer on his desk, instead of filing it away.
