Apple Interview
So I just came back from my interview. They said that I need to set up training. It looks like drew has a job at the apple store. What will I do with all my new found wealth. I interviewed with Colline. Very nice. She asked me why i wanted to work that. I gave a reason like “I dont want to be in charge” It looks like a fun place to work. So now I have to schedule a time that I can go and train. She says it is two 8 hour days. That may be a little hard to do but I’m up to the task I think. Retail. Fun Aaron was kinda of my inspiration when he talked about his starbucks story. I want to be around more people. it will be good to come in contact with others that dont work at student life. i guess that was school but I just want to get out of there when I’m there. So we will see where that goes. She asked me how I would sell to a grandmother. I had to think about that when I dont have anything in front of me. I talked about iphoto a lot. I think that is their selling point or at least a focus. People using I photo. I will leave you with me in the apple store. If i do get the job I think most of my postings will be on the apple store.
Woke up to this
I woke up to this
” On December 28, 2006, a citizen of Gambia was stabbed to death in the Solomenskiy District of Kyiv. This incident is the latest in a string of murders of foreigners in Kyiv in 2006 in which the victim’s race and/or skin color appears to have been a primary motivation. Although none of these murders has involved United States citizens, there have been several non-lethal assaults in Ukraine in recent years against U.S. citizens which were determined to be racially motivated. The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv would like to remind American citizens resident in Ukraine of the following information contained in the Consular Information Sheet for Ukraine (available on-line at
While most travelers do not encounter problems with crime in Ukraine, there has been an increase in the number of racially-motivated attacks conducted by “skinheads” in Kyiv. These incidents, in which non-Caucasian foreigners are specifically targeted for violence, have occurred without provocation in prominent areas of downtown Kyiv that are commonly frequented by tourists. While the majority of people targeted have been of Asian, African or other non-European descent, all travelers should exercise caution. In addition to incidents of assault, persons of African or Asian heritage may be subject to various types of harassment, such as being stopped on the street by both civilians and law enforcement officials.
U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at
American citizens are encouraged to report any security incidents or problems to the Embassy. American Citizens Services unit can be reached during working hours by calling at (38-044) 490-4445 or 490-4422. The Embassy’s duty officer can be reached after hours at (38-044) 490-4000 or by contacting (38-050) 311-1796.”
Valarie Hall emailed me this statement this morning. While I had read stuff like this before, I found it sad. Reminded me of how I felt sometimes walking the street. Not like something was going to happen to me. Just the stares. Gets to you. Well that is all I have to share.
