Today I called in "sick" to work in order to go to an interview for another job, and also get a lot of shit done that I had been putting off for ages because this cleaning gig leaves me so exhausted at the end of the day and leaves me no time during the work day to get anything meaningful done. So here is a list of things I did today to make me feel better about my dishonesty:
-Made a dentist appointment, which involved changing my address with CareOregon, re-enrolling for said health insurance, and getting both my dental clinic and my PCP reassigned now that I live in Washington county. So that took longer than expected.
-Finally got my car on Craig's list 3 months after I stopped driving it, which includrd hoing out to take Current pictures.
-Printed, assembled, and mailed my application and tax/paystub information for Income Based Repayment of my loans.
-Made an overdue payment on a parking ticket that could only br made over the phone betwern 8:30 and 10:30 am or 1:30 and 4:30 pm.
-Made an appointment to renew my birth control prescription.
-Went to that job interview and I think it went REALLY WELL. Like seriously. The people liked me, the guy who would be my over-boss has a very similar work and education background that I do, and ny direct supervisor seemed like someone I could have a lot in common with. I can 100% do the job and there's growth potential and the pay starts at $3/hr more than I have ever made in my life. I am trying and failing not to get my hopes up to high but I am already fantisizing about turning in my apron and binder like PEACE MOTHERFUCKERS.
There would be downsides. It's even farthrr away from where I am now than my current job (though not by too much, and making money like that Zac and I could move closer in a LOT quicker). And it would mean working a LOT of hours. They're all on mandatory overtime and eorking a lot of 6-day weeks right now. So...goodbye Saturday I guess. Which would suck. A lot.
But an actual career-starting job, paying an actual adult living wage. Worth it? We'll see. But... Probably.
Fingers crossed?
