GOT A JOB!!

it's true!! i have a job!! i kept forgetting to post about the outcome of my interview with the boys and girls club. i was not offerred that job and from what i have heard since then, it's a good thing for me! so i went yesterday and put my application in at a jewelry store called "diamonds by design". i had seen an ad for a part time person several weeks ago, but that was the same time as the boys and girls club so i put it off. then it was advertised again this weekend so i went there and put my application in yesterday morning. they called me yesterday at lunch time and set up an interview for today and basically hired me on the spot! the down sides are that the pay isn't nearly what it was for the boys and girls club, and they are open on saturday's which takes away from my time with chris and caden, but truthfully, not many part-time jobs that can be as flexible as i need them to be, aren't open on saturdays. so, we'll have to plan things a little better as far as trips and weekend fun. so that part stinks. but the up sides are many in my book!! first--i love jewelry so messing with diamonds and other jewels all day sounds like a great deal of fun!! they also make their own jewelry so a lot of what they do for their clients involves designing a piece based on their desires, lifestyle, and personality so it's not like other jewelry stores where you pounce on the person when they come in the store, which is good, because that kind of thing i wouldn't be good at. they are willing to be very flexible with my school schedule and i'll be able to get in more hours this summer by working some in the topeka store also. a couple days a week at that would be ok. i interview at the topeka store on tuesday. and the biggest thing.....IT'S A PAYCHECK!! and that i desperately need. so, all in all, i'm happy. i wish chris were more excited, but he really doesn't like the thought of me working saturdays at all. i think part of that is because he's afraid it will cut in on his fishing time!! in the summer, he usually fishes 1 day and spends the other with us, so if he can't go on sat, he'll want to go on sunday and then we wouldn't see each other at all!! but she tells me that they are looking to change the saturday hours to only 10-2 and that wouldn't be so bad. and i know he thinks i'll want to spend all my money there, and i'm sure i will want to, but i won't. i don't know what kind of discount employees receive yet, but i'm not looking to get anything new anytime soon. maybe for graduation??!! but that's a year from now so until then, it's just a paycheck! i actually work friday and saturday already!! jess is going to keep caden because chris has to work this saturday also so it'll work out! wish me luck!
