I got a job! I got a job! I got a job!
Thank God. I have been hitting the streets looking for a part time job ever since i moved here. And after my interview with The Editor I definitely need a part time job if and when I get the internship (to make sure i am making money while apprenticing with a publisher).
Though I have yet to hear anything from The Editor , I did get a call last Friday from a bookstore looking to hire me because of my superb shelving skills (which I listed on the application). Who would have thought being able to shelve would catch the eye of the manager?
An interview later...and I'm a bookstore girl. YEAH.
It's a part time gig, with reasonable pay....but I'll get out of the house, make some money on the side, have my mornings free to intern, and did I mention that I would no longer have to babysit a three old. I could cry with happiness.
I called my mom first, because besides me she was most nervous about my job hunt. I could hear her do the happy happy joy joy dance all the way from Westchester County. I start tomorrow at 4, but I have to buy some shoes before then because all I wear are Converse and Pumas (a big no no in the job department).
This is incredibly good news, and I hope to have some more before the week is out. Having that internship will solidify the whole reason I moved here. Fingers crossed people.
* I haven't seen that Happy Happy Joy Joy video in a long time. Kinda of creepy for a kids tv show. Nonetheless, it's a fitting song for the day.
