| | Well, I promised! I am finally, finally employed, and I start today, in an hour. So here's some catching up:
1) My first month of marriage I spent being married. It rocked. I also assembled a resume, references, whole nine yards. How hard can this employment thing be, I asked?
2) My second month of marriage I spent applying to all the jobs I really wanted. Halfway through the month, rejections started pouring in. You'd think I sent them a manuscript instead of a resume. Ho-hum.
3) My third month of marriage I spent applying to all the jobs I thought I could get, while finagling to get experience (the crucial ingredient) for the jobs I really wanted.
4) Now here I am, assembling the paperwork for hospital volunteering and substitute teaching. Plus I needed money, so, inspired by Lina (who has been incredibly encouraging)... I walked into Michaels on a day when it was cram-packed, found the (absolutely frantic) hiring-and-floor manager, and told him he looked really stressed out and I could be there immediately if he wanted my help.
So that's how I got employed. It ain't no high-paying job, that's for sure, but the people are friendly and happy-looking and it's Michaels. Which I'm sure in the long run doesn't mean that much extra, except that I actually like what they sell... as opposed to Target. (MOAR LIEK BLARGET, AMIRITE)
Anyhow! Off to work. This is the only time I get to wear Normal People Clothes to this job. Where are those knee-socks...?
