yay!
hey, i got the job at the Harrison Gray Otis House! i *finally* talked to the director today after we played phone tag all week long, and she said she was excited to hire me, and she said that she spoke to david at Blandwood and he seemed to just love me and said lots of nice things. so i was happy to hear that, and wrote david a little thank-you email. and i start at the Otis house next sunday (that'll be a busy weekend, the CT Ren Faire on saturday and then starting at the Otis House on sunday, but it'll be fun). the first day, i'll mostly just be shadowing tours and learning how it's done, and i'll get to shadow a walking tour of the area too, which will be nice.
and i'm also psyched because sneakers are acceptable for work there! first of all because i'll be following the walking tour and the director wouldn't want anyone to be uncomfortable on that, and secondly because we wear shoe covers half the time anyway. so i'll need to be dressed nicely, but i can wear sneakers! and we all know (or maybe we don't; have i whined about shoes on here lately?) how i have no appropriate work shoes for winter. sneakers are good news.
