Here we go!

I thought that I would update on what is going on. For the past few weeks I have been still trying to find a job. Nothing is out there for someone with no esperience. I was getting really down hearted. Last week, a friend of mine called and said that she might have had a lead on an entry level position. The only problem is that the job only pays minimum wage and has no benefits that it comes with. I can buy benefits from them but that is a total different kettle of fish.

Of course with what seems to be my run of luck, I didn't plan on having an interview so I had no interview clothes with me. Luckly the lady is really nice about it so she over looked that fact. I thought the interview went really well. The rest of that week progressed on and I was asked by a friend of my parent's from church if I would like to earn some extra cash helping out in his office during tax season. I said of course and that I would start on Monday.

I can promise you that I wasn't in that office but for more than maybe 2 hours before a got the answer to my prayers. The lady I had interviewed for that previous week called and offered me a job!!!!!! I was so excited and of course told her yes. She said that I was to start at 8AM the next morning. I went the rest of the day in shock. The rest of the day until I left that night was bittersweet. I was really excited that I had a job but then again I wasn't ready to leave my Mom and everything that I had come to enjoy.

Needless to say, I have started at my new job and I am loving the people that I am working with and the work load is not all tha bad. Yes it is the same thing over and over again but there is always alot of things that need to be done. Projects are always springing up and new and different things are still to come. I hope to find a better paying job sometime soon but I am just so thankful that I even get this opportunity to get my foot in the door. So now the only thing that is left to do, is to find me a place to live and get settled in. So here we go on a new chapter and a new adventure!!

Until our paths cross again,
