I got a job! OMG! yay!!

Racquetball in the morning, then grocery shopping with Janna for our cook-a-thon today. Then she and I and Ray went out to lunch because we were hungry. We had to wait a few minutes for them to open at 11:30.

I worked on my video in the afternoon (with a cable Ray borrowed). It is just like the movies; most of what I taped ends up on the "cutting room floor."

Around 5:00, the phone rang and it was Allison from the Homeless Shelter. She said she was tired from all the interviews and I was by far the most qualified! She had talked to Courtney and Mary Kelley and they had said I would be great, so would I accept the job? I said, I had a couple questions first, like what would they pay me? She said they were offering $14 and I said that was too low. She checked and called me back offering $15. Not a lot, but a nice gesture. And she was very excited about us working together and I am too. No benefits, no paid leave, annual review. I start tonight...they are doing payroll and I am going to watch. Then I will work 8-1 Monday-Friday...starting tomorrow!!! I am so happy--I have already planned how I will spend all my money.

Woo-hoo!
