In which I got a job within 48 hours, ’cause I’m cool like that.

I got here Wednesday night. Thursday afternoon I had a phone interview. Friday morning I had facetime with the three principals, and before I’d even made it all the way home they’d called to hire me and to invite me back for lunch at one o’clock so I could meet everyone.

I HAVE A JOB IN MY INDUSTRY! Finally! I work here, doing tech support. I took the first job offered to me because they gave me what I wanted for an hourly rate and because it’s within walking distance – the jeep’s still dead and may not be running for awhile (even though grandma seems to be having it towed to the shop she uses while I’m at work today, which is WAY COOL OF HER).

My lunch break is over in two minutes, so I’d better git. As soon as I have an Internet connection at home I’ll start posting regularly again.

    Very cool for you Mushlette, whoop, whoop, whooop!

    I just applied for a job yesterday…maybe some of your luck will wash up here!

    I don’t know what to say about the Jeep…up here they are really loved. People say (and internet research sorta backs them up) they are very reliable so they hold their value on the used market. I’m talking especially about the Cherokee model around ’90 thru ’95 or so. And up here, it’s very dangerous to be traveling in an unreliable car. You could die if it breaks.

    Maybe you should get it fixed and then sell it real quick? Oh, yeah, be sure to take the receipt from the last place in to the new shop. If that shop missed something or screwed something up, the new shop might be able to twist their arm and get something out of them…(yes, in the real world this can and does happen).

    I like frogs! -m

    Things are looking up immediately. Clearly, this was the right choice for you. And the walking is good for you and the environment. You’ll love it.

    Yay you!
