New & Exciting

Do you know what's weird? Interviewing at a place you already work.

Yep. Tomorrow I'm interviewing at my current employer for a job I'm actually interested in. I don't know if the money's much better. I'm pretty sure the hours would be terrible (6 am really?).But I do know It would be a full time position which is awesome, and I'm sure I would make more than the $7.00-ish an hour that I'm currently making (+tips - can't forget the $10 a day I make extra!). But really this is the one job I really want right now.

In fact, this has been a problem I've had while looking for new jobs. I get lost in all the postings. When you have no idea what you should do, where do you start looking? And should I really just look for something new and shiny with better hours and a better wage or actually something I enjoy? Will I get stuck in the cycle of doing what works out to the point where I can support myself or should I struggle a little bit and find something I like? There are so many questions when it comes to looking for a new job.

But finally there's something I think I could really enjoy. And I want it, bad.

I do this thing where I don't like to talk about something because I'm afraid it won't come true. While discussing whatever-it-is with friends I insert phrases like 'if it happens', 'well, we'll see', 'maybe', and I pretend I don't want it. Because that means no one will make a big deal about it, if it doesn't happen. But here's the thing, these things I try to pretend I don't want, happen or don't happen regardless of who I tell. I already told four people which is probably two more than I normally would, so here's to breaking old superstitions. And here's to my interview tomorrow.
