Job Hunting: The Sequel

"The future's uncertain and the end is always near..."

That's a great line in a Doors' song but it's not what anyone wants to hear from an employer.
It prompted me to begin job hunting again. Apparently I'm getting better at stalking the elusive job; this time it only took three days.

Saying 'Goodbye' to a person I'd come to admire and respect, a fellow employee at the restaurant, I stopped into the local Daisy Quean to get an ice cream cake for the goodbye gathering. It was slack time in the afternoon, about 2:00 PM. The manager of Daisy Quean had time to chat so I told him what I knew about the restaurant across the street. At the end of our visiting he told me they were needing help, would I want to fill out an application?

He gave me an application on Saturday. I filled it out Monday morning and then walked to Daisy Quean to return it to him. Returning the application segued into an interview. All I could say about quitting the restaurant is that there's a reason rats desert a sinking ship. An interview turned into hiring. I start Thursday morning at 9:30 AM.

It's a big deal to me, having a job I can walk to. Transportation has been an issue for a couple of years and I'm ready to address it. We're going to replace the transmission in my car this next week. I hope that will get me another year's use of the car. Getting another vehicle is my goal financially.

I'll try to remember that when I'm looking at beads, books, and clothing.
