*tap tap tap* Ahem....
I am no longer a shopgirl at The Shop.
It is the end of an era, really. I worked there for 4 and a half years.
Yesterday, while at my favorite coffee shop abusing the free internet of the store two doors down, I ran into the woman who runs the new dry cleaning store (I say "new" because she's only been open for 2 years) who I've talked to a few times and is one of those refreshingly honest people and we've always gotten along pretty well. I had heard rumors that she was hiring so I asked and she said she was so after I'd finished my lunch and I toddled on down to fill out an App. As I'm filling out this standard Hiring App she asks when I want to start and I shrugged and said, "Right now?" Her eyes got all wide and she said, "Seriously?" To which I replied, "Seriously." So I worked from 1:30-7:30 and afterward she was full of praise and after my 60 hours of training, I'm pretty confident she will keep me on at least 20 or so hours a week. \o/ So this combined with working at the other gift shop on Saturdays, I might be okay. Once school ends I'll know my time better and I might keep on looking for a third, office job just to keep me busy.
But yay! I am so very very pleased that these jobs I have found have all been attained based on the fact that people know me and Like Me.
I was talking (squealing) on the phone with my sister last night (did I mention that I had only gotten 2 and a half hours of sleep Sunday night so I'd quite literally worked 12 hours yesterday on little sleep AND NO CAFFEINE?) and I realized how beaten down Old Boss made me feel. I was an awesome employee. The two new bosses think I am fantastic and as a result, I want to work my ass off for them and show them that their faith is not misplaced. I am so effing happy right now, you have no idea.
So once again sitting in my favorite coffee shop, drinking my coffee, grinning stupidly over these new Alex O'Loughlin photos that are floating around and (attempting) to do my Psych homework (because it involves an internet connection and I have no internet at home again argh -- however, if my internet *was* working, I never would've come down here yesterday, never would've run into S and wouldn't have found this awesome new potential job. YAY!)
I feel lighter than I have in a really, really long time, dear flist. :)
