A young woman faces the heights of ecstacy and the throes of despair as she tries to start her career and land the perfect job.
The winter chill has essentially frozen my prospects of getting a steady job in my career of choice. So getting this job was a brilliant idea. Also, what was I thinking when I almost took a dog walking job that would last through the dead of winter? In retrospect, that was a good save.
Also, you know that awkward feeling when all of your friends are going out and carrying on without you? I do. When I tell people about what I've been doing with myself, even I get bored. I probably have bedsores from sitting on my ass and watching movies and shows all day. Then I think about my wasted youth. What was all that time spent studying and living at home for when I could have been out making friends? Friends that I could lean on in the future? Or at least tell stories about...
That's been my problem in life. I am too sensible. I follow the rules. I daydream and fantasize instead of doing. In the process I have stayed relatively safe and unhurt. But in the back of my mind, I wonder if I missed something.
The interview went very well. She liked me and was super pleasant. The only fly in the ointment is that the job won't be available for a few months, and then I might be able to stay - it depends on the person leaving. She said I might be able to temp for her in the meantime on call. So, mixed emotions!
On the other hand, I love chai with honey. It makes me want to dance all over the place.
With student loans rolling in, it's a bit scary that I haven't accured serious amounts of money yet. I'm afraid that hostessing in a restaurant won't be very lucrative so I'll have to keep my eyes open for another side job.
