I Need A Job!

It's getting very close to a crisis situation with money and me. I have been looking and looking, and what started out as a very promising week job-wise is ending as a big disappointment. I had an interview on Monday at The Limited in the mall by my house. I thought I had a really good shot at that job, although it is slightly down on my payscale it was SOME money. But they said I would hear by the end of the week, and they haven't phoned. I would love to say that I am super disappointed, and part of me is. But if I can find something a little more respectable where I can get paid a little more, I would prefer to have that job. I am afraid that the minute I say yes to them something else will work out and then I would have to back out.

I had another interview on Monday for a really fun job. I would pretend to be sick and the UW medical students would ask me questions about what I have and try to diagnose my "illness". I think it would be fun, and it pays $15 an hour which is sweet. They will put me on their list, but the hours aren't regular and they wouldn't call me until August for the first slot anyway, so it isn't immediate money.

I am enjoying the new cable internet we have, trying to catch up on even more pop culture that I have missed in my year abroad. Plus, my computer is getting all these fancy updates now. (It hasn't been connected for two years to the internet, so now I am getting all the software upgrades and stuff.)

So, that's about where I am at. I am socially starved, however. I only know one person outside of the people in my house, and she is my very busy cousin who has a life of her own. We have been able to get together a few times, and had a lot of fun, but with me not having a job OR friends sometimes I am pulling my hair out wanting to leave the house but having nowhere to go. It will all take time, and even though I am starting to feel the money crunch I still have a very casual attitude towards becoming employed. I think I am still adjusting, which shouldn't be so much of a shock since I have been back 6 weeks from 8 months of an intense experience. I'll just have to take my time.
