Kalvintage; The Banquet Server

So I got up today around 1 in the afternoon, anticipating a phone call from the Marriot, a hotel where I recently had a job interview for the role of a Banquet Server. I grabbed my leftover chicken I bought from the Superstore the other day and popped it into the microwave. I got my food, then headed off into my living room where I watched t.v..

*Ring ring*

My house phone went off, a smile grew upon my face as I waited for a second ring. I picked up.

"Hello, can I talk to Kalvin please"
"*Swear word* man! They still haven't phone me!"

It turned out to be my friend Ferd. He had just got off school and told me he was headed to my house, to work on a dance routine we are suppose to perform on Saturday, for my friends birthday dinner.

Around 3 o' clock Ferd arrived at my "crib"(lol) and we watched Nick Cannon's Wild'n Out on Much Music when suddenly...

*Ring ring*

The phone rang again. But sadly, it wasn't the Marriot. It was my sister(whom I owe money to for losing her phone. In my defense, I technically didn't lose that phone, my friend did) asking if I got the call or not. I told her no.

After we finished watching our show, we went downstairs and started working on our dance routine. We got some work done, then we ended up watching girls apply their make-up on Youtube hahaha.

My mother came home from work, and went downstairs to where Ferd and I were and asked me for the phone. She wanted to use it to use it to phone long distance to the Philippines, and talk to my sister and relatives.

"Noooo, not yet. They haven't called me yet."
"Awww It's over Kalvin, it's okay."
"Just give me 30 more minutes."

It was around 5:02 then.

At 5:32, Ferd and I watched some more videos on Youtube to help us out on our c walking and jumpstyle portion of the routine. Then the phone rang. I immediately hit the mute button on the laptop and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"
*Silence*
"May I speak with Kalvin?"
"This is Kalvin, who's speaking please?"
"This is Cassandra from the Marriot Hotel, I was calling to congratulate you on behalf of becoming a part of our team!"
"Oh, thank you!"
*Conversation continues*

While I was on the phone I was jumping and around, giving high fives to Ferd quietly, making sure the lady on the other line doesn't hear me. At the moment I was filled with joy and I ran upstairs after I hung up the phone and I told my mom I was hired. I have to be honest, there were a little bit of tears in my eyes at that point hahaha.

I came back downstairs where I saw Ferd laying down on the ground. He too had an interview at the Marriot, but he hasn't gotten a phone call back yet.

"Don't worry man, they'll call you"

And a few minutes after that, he too had received a call telling him that he was hired for the job.

After wards we then headed a park by my house and shot some hoops, then Ferd went home.



And that was my day!
