worry 's for another day

I was offered a job today! And I am celebrating by myself...unless you count Quentin at my feet disagreeing with anything I suggest for him to watch. Pending a background check I will start work on the 22nd! I've never been unemployed for 6 mos before. And now that it is coming to an end I wish I'd have done so much more with my time. But I suppose when you have no money and are searching for a job full time that puts a damper on all the fun.

Pending a background check I will be a Development Specialist for Disability Determination for the SRS. It's in Topeka which doesn't bother me. If I want to I can go permanent on June 1...woo-hoo for benefits soon! And a paycheck!!!

I made a few new year resolutions this year. I haven't really talked about them with anyone too much. One of my big resolutions was to become a better version of myself. I have pretty much become the worst version and that must change. A branch off of that is to be healthier.

So I have been exercising regularly and I am enjoying it. And due to some recent stress eating I have decided to go on a sugar cleanse.

I am on day two. And I just cheated. I have said this entire time that the day I got a job I was opening a bottle of champagne. No one else wants to drink it with me. Larry is feverishly working on co-writing a screenplay and my parents are busy. So I celebrate alone...cheating on my cleanse. Also, I ordered some special candy before Christmas to surprise my family (it was from my childhood)...it was on back order and I just received it today...so I had one...ok two. I'll start again tomorrow.

SO, for today, right now...dance your cares away, worry 's for another day, let the music play...down in Fraggle rock :)

keeping on

I am alone in the house. This has only happened one other time in 5 months. Larry and Quentin are at the park and I'm drinking a Blue Moon.

Interview today didn't go great. We'll see. He said about 2 weeks. I think he was done with the interview about 5 min in. We'll see.

I have another on Thursday and a tentative one next week.

I don't feel as great today as I did yesterday. I'm trying to stay positive...

New Found Hope

I had my first interview of the week...er, month, er couple months. It was for Census Customer Representative. I have to pass a federal background check which can take 21 days to 3 months. It's not really something I would be happy doing and it only lasts until July, but it would be a job.

Tomorrow I go to Sunshine Energy to interview thanks to Nicole Elliott Bays! I am pretty pumped about that one. It's a little bit of a drive but I think it would be a cool job.

Then Thursday I am going to interview for a job that Kelli Conklin was kind enough to give me a recommendation!

Not solid yet, but there is another job that I might interview for next week. I would have to drive about 30 min and start at 6 am, but would get off at 3:30 so that would have its benefits.

Regardless I have a new found hope in my job search! That alone feels good. SO send all the good vibes you got my way for the next week!
