Okay so at one point today I was really tempted to go FB to announce that I finally found a job. It's been since October, and we've been hurting without my income. It's true what they say when you make more your spending goes up. It didn't help that DC had us in the wrong property tax category, bumping our mortgage up $600.00. That alone should help.
The news made me elated. I had been applying to something like 8 jobs a week. It doesn't sound like a lot, looking at that number. I mean it's eight, not even double digits, but with writing cover letters, and a blurb it gets daunting. So on Facebook I would go. It's discouraging when you don't hear from a job. Sometimes I'd send out more, sometimes less. Anyway, I now have a job at Utrecht/Blick art supplies.
Maybe, just maybe I'll feel interesting again. I'll be working with actual artists who show and go to school. That's exciting to me. I like being around people who take making art seriously.
The job it won't start for a few weeks so I'll be able to concentrate on finals. Not having a job really made me feel somehow less and not worthy, the good old Protestant Work Ethic kicking in.
At least I announced it on here. I will have to let my cousins know via phone.
