Problem: My violin teacher ( who was with the Seattle Symphony ) found this violin for me in the mid-70 's . It has been my main instrument ever since . It does n't have any label in it , so I had it appraised at Hammond - Ashley and was told that it was made around the turn of the century ( 1900 ) , in Bohemia . They said it was worth around $ 1000 .

What was surprising about the information on my violin ?

A: It turned out to be older and more valuable than I thought .

Problem: I waited through the silence on the other side of the receiver : " You find out the results tomorrow ? " I nodded , though he could n't see . " Why did n't you tell me till now ? "

What may have happened before he called ?

A: He had tests run .

Problem: Then apparently my application gets passed on to the managerial department and IF I fit a position then I will recieve a follow up apointment for an interview ... sheesh . So much work just to be a cashier ... although it would be a nice job . Let 's hope .

Why is the narrator so on edge at the moment ?

A:
They are looking to get a job .
