I just found out that I am hired! I got a job doing indexing/checking work with a company. SO HAPPY! It looks like they're pretty flexible (within reason). I can even wear jeans and flip flops to work! I don't think I've EVER had job that let me do that! The job sounds challenging enough, although I don't know that it will use a lot of my skills. I felt great even after I got there (to the interview). That hasn't happened in a long time. The hours are a little funky, but I feel as though they'll work well for me. The pay isn't great, but at this point, something to pay the bills is all I need. I figure I can always try to get a second job tutoring if need be.
All that's left now is for them to verify my info/etc. I start Sept. 15th.

Wonderful Day
Still no job, but I am learning to look on the bright side. Look at me, on the bright side. Shiny, sunny day.
Anyway, I ordered 8 books online today and paid $8 total. Yeah! (Only 6 of those are knitting books.) Still, I can't wait. It will be awhile until I can get anymore yarn for future projects, but I'm excited to look through each and every page of these books.
So, how could I afford this? I won a $50 gift certificate as part of the reading program at the local library. I promptly got on-line and got spending. Also, Dave and I have been saving our change (mostly mine from when I was 12-18 y.o.). This was able to get a gift certificate at the local put-your-change-in-me machines. (no surcharge)
I'm off to wait for the mail man. He'll only take a week or so.

Ummmm...
If anybody still reads this thing, you've probably noticed that I haven't posted in awhile. There's not too much news.
Good News:
I got my swap package. SO HAPPY! I received the most beautiful yarn, and have casted on some cute projects already.
My husband and I are both now home and alone in the house. Sigh.
Not-So-Good News
I have no job. None. Having trouble even finding the prospect of said non-existant job. Ergh.
I even went to an interview where they told me that they didn't have any positions currently, but they were looking for applicants to keep on file. I then was told that I didn't even get the non-existent job. Huh?
So...I am currently looking for any actually existent full-time jobs that requires a real person, will not allow me to work from home for up to $100,000 a year, and is not trying to get me to give them my SSN for free, over the internet, without knowing that they are in fact, a company. Wish me luck.
