i'm laughing

because nothing is what you expect. and i love that.

i went to a job interview today at this classy little old place called Hardy's Wine Bar. I chatted with a lady named Dominique who told me about the place, what it was like, what they were hoping to do (sounds like they just re-opened and they're getting together a brand new team) and what my job would look like - hours, pay, etc. Honestly, it sounds perfect. I'm going in on Tuesday for a trial three-hour shift and then we'll see. But it didn't sound like a "we'll see," it sounded like a "you basically have this job." so....yay!

if you knew how blue my spirit was turning yesterday afternoon, you would know how radically different today is. i was in the middle of trying to track down this lady at a temp agency who wouldn't call me back, while sarah was running around getting offered two jobs in one day. i kept thinking about how i didn't even want a job like this. office work kills me. it is really hard for me to do. i was just about to cry when i decided instead to be sensible and go send off a few more resumes.  i finally sent off my CV to this restaurant since it was one of the only things i'd originally seen that seemed interesting to me.  i called a little later, she'd already received it and wanted me to come in for an interview! 

i have another interview sunday as a receptionist at a restaurant (i think) and then on monday i'm registering at an agency that will try to find me office stuff.  basically i'm just covering my bases.  it is such a relief to have knowns filling in the unknowns.  

things are looking up.  i like it.  i like where i am.  i like what i'm doing.  i like who am with. :) and soon i will feel even more settled when i can hang up my clothes.  *sigh*  just waiting.  but happy waiting.  i'm doing good.
