A Hobo No Longer!

My life as an unemployed college student is over. Done. Gone. That's right. I am now an employed American citizen. And proud of it! So, here's the scoop:

Before Christmas break, my roommate, Brooke, announced that if anyone was looking for a job, they should contact her. Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity and, seeing as I'm her roommate, was given seniority over all the other prospects. So, the application process began. I sent in my resume and then spent the next three weeks waiting for a response. After coming back to Utah, I took the initiative and went to see this boss who had been looking to hire and yet had not put in any effort to contact his (hopefully) future employee. So, we talked and determined that we would undergo the interview process right then and there. And, then it was over. He said, "I'll call you tomorrow" and I walked out without hearing another word from him for a week. Tomorrow came and went, along with a number of other "tomorrows". Emails were exchanged, but an ultimate decision hadn't been disclosed. Not until today, anyways. I marched into that office and he sat me down and told me that he wanted to hire me. Turns out, it was my persistence in pursuing the job that really caught his eye (thanks to those of you who kept pushing me to bother him. I guess it really paid off!). So, he gave me some information, showed me the office, and said, "See you for your first day next week." And, that's it. Once my social security information is processed, then I will be a working woman. Attractive, right? Especially as I sit here typing this, no makeup, in my pajamas. Beautiful.

What will this job entail, you ask? I have no idea. But, who cares!!! It's a job! An income! A source of stability! HALLELUJAH!!! Fingers crossed that I don't mess it up before the next rent is due! :)

So, thanks to everyone out there who sent their prayers and their fasting efforts my way. You have no idea how much it helped and how much I appreciate it. It means the WORLD to me and I'm so grateful that you were willing to help!!! You're the BEST! I owe you big Big BIG time!!!
