Poor and Studious? Less-Poor and Straggling?
To work or not to work?
I applied to work at Jenny Craig as a consultant almost a month ago. I'm personable, bubbly, and I know how it feels to go through the weight-loss cycle. I talked with the area director a few times on the phone, turned in my application, and was told that I'd get a phone call from corporate to set up an interview.
No phone call.
No phone call.
No phone call.
I started to get used to the idea of going a quarter without a job. Sure, it sucks to spend money (I spend way too much on produce at the grocery store) without earning any, but I could deal with it. I have money saved up for times like this, and I'm not too worried about it. I like the freedom associated with being able to go home for a random weekend, getting a full Thanksgiving Break, and enjoying more than a few days home with my family for Christmas.
I got a call today to set up an interview. They seem really interested in hiring me. I think I'm going to do the interview...
But maybe I'll just have to make it perfectly clear that I shouldn't be hired if I can't go home for the upcoming holidays. And that I really really can't handle more than three days a week. My classes are already kicking my ass, as it is.
I guess we'll see.

Called Cheryl at Jenny Craig. Told her my restrictive schedule. "We'll have to look elsewhere. Sorry."
You know what? I'm totally okay with that!
