There's hope!
I think I technically have a job. Yay! I'm supposed to go back on Tuesday at 8 a.m., and fill out papers and clean the office there. This is the Refuse Management office in Altamonte Springs. I'll also be cleaning their office in Orlando, and was told they have one in Deland (which is closer, which will be nice) but didn't say if I'd for sure be there. I told her that working closer would be better, but I can deal with having to go a ways if I have to. I will also be cleaning a ranch. The chic I talked to is the daughter of the owner of the place and apparently they have guest houses and parties there and stuff, so I'll be cleaning whatever they feel like having me do. I'll be going to the ranch on Tuesday after I get done at the office. It'll be a combination of household stuff like I did at Deboers, because the mother is just busy and ends up not getting to a lot of it, and also housekeeping stuff for the guest places too, which will be like the hotel. Should be interesting. Oh, and she was asking where I lived, and I wasn't sure why at first because she knows what city I'm in. Basically she wondered if I was set or free to move because they have housing that I could live in at the ranch and then I wouldn't have to drive all over. They have what she called a 90 day trial period, which basically means I have to be there that long before I'll get any benefits. But that's normal for most places. 90 days is about when I'll be done with my lease here. So the timing on that is pretty much perfect. I was thinking I'd move closer to Orlando anyway, if I could find a place to live that wouldn't cause me to pay more than I'll already pay with rent and gas right now. I don't know what they'd have me do in terms of rent, but it's nice to know I already have one option in the direction I was planning on going anyway.
Now all that needs to happen is a car. Phil knows and plans on giving me the thing he needs to fix, and letting me pay for it later, but the fixing isn't going to happen in the next three days. He drove me to the interview because he said he would, and if I have no other way, he'll drive me to work next week, but I'll have to pay him gas money. For his huge truck. With the way he drives. Yeah, I want my own smaller vehicle as soon as possible. But, I'll be getting paid, probably weekly, so I've got one problem taken care of at least. I'll be starting at what I ended with in Holland, and I'll be getting more hours, so hopefully that will take care of how much more in gas money I'll be spending in order to get there. And when my benefits start I'll get life insurance, medical, and dental, which is wonderful. :) Woot.
And now I need to either make lunch or lay down before I fall down. I slept so horribly last night. Partly nerves, though less than usual about a job because I was pretty sure it was going to be more of a discussion about what I'd be doing rather than interviewing me to pick if they wanted me or not. I was rather uncomfortable because I finally managed to get some color on me when I was outside yesterday. And I turned out to be kinda fried. First day I tried for a tan I put on sunscreen and got nothing. Second day I only had sunscreen on my face and tatoo, and got very little color. Yesterday I did the same, but I was out earlier, so the sun must have gotten to me better, and now parts of me are lobsterish. But it'll turn into tan, and it'll be harder to fry again, and now I won't have to look like a pasty white Michigander so much anymore =D
Alright, everyone have a great weekend if I don't talk to you to say so in any other form.
Love,
Peta
