It's not raining. No. It's beginning to pour . . .

So I began a new job on Tuesday. It's not perfect, the hours are irregular, I smell when I come home and I'm not sure how the pay will be. But the people are nice, the customers are nice, and I'm doing okay in it. And, hey, after two and a half months unemployed - it's a job.

Then there was the letter on Tuesday which told me (finally) that I made it through the Coles Myer initial process and I may be called in the next three months for an interview. And the phone call this morning about a job (unfortunatly I couldn't take it. It was less hours then I'm getting now and in Upper Mt Gravatt - about 3/4 hour away.)

Then I come home and find the world's best rejection letter in the mail (people of Brisbane - I am so impressed with St Margaret's Anglican Girls School. Very, very impressed) and I find a note from Liz telling me that her work is desperate for someone. I'm trying to get through to her now.

As my sister said this morning - once you get one job - everyone wants you.

Any chance of you pushing some of that job charm down to Sydney?
Haven't heard anything from the Bureau of Meteorology yet, been a week and a half...I know it's government and i probably won't even get an interview, but I'm antsy as hell.

It's funny how that happen. Hey, you could possibly work two jobs, even for a little while, just to pick yourself up again after that damn unemployment time!

Congratulations though! I'm sure you couldn't possibly smell worse then I do after 5 hours at KFC *vomits* I hate KFC and I have to smell like it! Ugh!

Congrats, and enjoy it! I hope the perfect job pops right up for you, and in the meantime, at least you're getting that paycheck. It's better than nothing! ::huggles!::

*claps* I'm glad that you had good time at work. And smelly Coles want you, although I don't know if that's much of a consolation. :) GO TEAM MELINA!

I know what you mean, in regards to the mountain of jobs. It's like when you get a boyfriend, every guy in the universe wants your number. Sigh. Fate, eh?

Actually, the boyfriend thing, that's happened to me as well. Both Matt and another guy were trying to get me to go out with them at the same time . . .
