Interviews and Pyramids

I guess I'll follow up on what happened last week in regards to the interview that I had scheduled. The night before the interview I did some research on the company and discovered that things were not as they appeared. The website was very circular for the position and really did not talk about anything else other than this particular job. The job description was very vague and at the very end in small type it said that I would get paid based on what I did. These things as well as a few others told me that it had the makings of a pyramid scheme. I ended up canceling the interview and decided to wait out the other position that I was looking into.
That turned out to be a very good plan. I now have a interview scheduled with Mediterranean Shipping Company for Wednesday afternoon. I should be able to get a job there and I'll be able to secure benefits now that I'm not a dependent of my parents.

Other than job stuff this week has been kind of boring. It was so bad that on Friday night I set my alarm so that I could wake up at 4am Saturday and drive up to the Clemson game. However, shortly before falling asleep I realized how stupid that would be. Instead, I just sat around with my roommate and a few friends and watched Clemson win, Michigan lose, and later Ohio State get blown out. I basically did the same thing with the NFL games the next day. Like I said it's been a very exciting week.
