I've just had an experience today that I never would have dreamed of in a million years. I got a job and I did absolutely nothing to get it. It started off with a phonecall from a friend who knew of someone looking for a receptionist for his company. My friend thought of me right away and gave me a call. This was at about 1 pm today. He didn't have the number on him right then to pass on to me to call this company so he said that he would call me later with it. In the meantime, I get a phonecall from this company asking me if I'd come in for an interview today. By then it was about 2 pm. I arrived there in my not so stylish hot summer day kinda clothes (because she said not to worry about being fancy..thank goodness!) and proceed to get interviewed. The interview went well, she just asked me a few questions about my experience in the workworld and such. After all was said and done she said that she had to talk to the boss and that she hoped to get back to me before the day ended. I left and that was it. I was home by 3pm. At 3:45 I get a phonecall. "We'd like to you start on the 16th as we agreed." I've never had it so easy finding a job!

I'll be a receptionist at a wholesale tire company. I've always wanted this type of job. It's right up my alley. It's full-time Monday-Friday, 7:30-4:30. Lyndon's work hours are 8-4:30 so it works out perfect that he could drive me to work and pick me up everyday. The work attire is also very casual. Just jeans and a works shirt. I'm quite excited about this cause that means I don't have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe to accomadate this job. Yay! The challenge now will be to find appropriate childcare. I'm sure we'll find something. With the ease of obtaining this job, I know that there will be something out there for us in terms of taking care of our kids. So if you know of anyone who can take care of 2 little ones, let me know.
