Working Girl

Yes....I got a JOB!!!! YAY!
I am so happy to finally have a job. Although I am quickly discovering how difficult it is to schedule other things in life around work...definitely not as easy as a work study job. But I like it and it pays decent. And even thought I was originally not thrilled at the thought of working in a deli...I find that I actually enjoy it. All the people I work with are really nice and fun, the pace is fast and work flies by. Before I know it... its the end of the day (and who doesn't like that?!). There is always something to do and I even get to "cook." I put cook in quotation marks because I'm really just mixing pre-packaged ingredients together, heating or frying something. But I like working with food, so the deli is a good fit for me. Although let me just say that the uniform is definitely not the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Today some guy wouldn't stop asking me about my hair net and then told me never to wear it on a date...what an ass! Like I'd wear a hair net on a date!

Anyways...

Working at the horse farm is going well. I've taken a short vacation from it just to get my self into the groove of working while everyone else is too. But next week its back to the horsies and poop for me! I'm already getting warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about shoveling horse poo ;)

As for tonight...

Tonio is playing for the 8th grade graduation and whenever out Mozart/Beethoven/Bach child preforms we all go watch. And then I plan on going to bed early because I'm tired as hell for being up this morning @ 5 for work. It's been awhile since I had to get up that early and man was it hard to pull myself out of bed today.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!

Good Things

It's like everyone said....you won't have anything come your way for a long time and then all of a sudden, everything you've been hoping for happens!

Yesterday I finally had a promising interview with Walmart. It went so well that they asked me to stay for 2 interviews back to back, each time with someone who was higher in management. And then they asked me to come back for a 3rd interview today! I'm so excited and am really hoping that I get this job....and another 1 or 2!!!

Also late yesterday I received an email from Peaceful Acres (a rescue horse farm in Pattersonville that works with women's groups and children in therapy) and they finally "ok"ed me to volunteer!! I'm really excited to be able to be around horses again and the exposure to the unique therapy that they do will be a great experience and an asset to my resume. They want me to come on Saturday to get squared away with times and procedures...so hopefully I'll be working there very soon.

Everything seems to be looking much brighter. I am looking forward to finally being employed...and even if they don't hire me, I'll at least have volunteer work to keep me busy until I do find something. I am really enjoying being home and have made lots of plans with friends to catch up. And I am also excited for a new year..as a SOPHOMORE!!! (can't believe I've already got a year behind me!)... I have a b-e-a-utiful dorm to look forward to, some really interesting classes and of course the exciting Big Apple!
Wish me luck!

YAY!

So excited! Today I have an interview and am really hoping that I get the job.

Thanks Theresa for my ride!!!

Apparently right when you think that nothing will come your way....an offer finally does!

Just the way it works for me I guess.

Oh well. I guess beggars shouldn't complain..and I'm definitely not complaining.

So wish me luck and we'll see what happens!
