Ooh, sorry, I gotta work. Can we reschedule?

I got a job! The principal of Servite High School, and old rival of my alma matter (as if I give a flying fig or even know what that means.) They want me as a long-term substitute for Spanish III!! Impressed with my resume, he told me that the position was filling in for a teacher who was going on maternity leave at the end of February. Funny. That would be MY maternity leave. If I were to have a job. Never mind.

Oh, I do have a job! I go hired again today as a waitress at a local happening restaurant. Then I warned them of my pregnancy, and eyes diverted. Well, not exactly. The poor assistant manager was still nodding eagerly, knowing that she didn’t have enough help to do the schedule, and what with all the requests for Christmas breaks…. While the owner, who came out in her chef coat and a walker, told me that this was mighty strenuous work for someone in my condition. I thought to say the same to her, but instead, left. Who knows, maybe they find themselves desperate for my extensive food knowledge, restaurant experience, elegance, poise, and good looks.

Ok, so that’s not really a job I GOT either. But I DID get a job! I start tomorrow, working as a massage therapist in a Chiropractic Office. I am actually really excited about being their official massage therapist, with a room that I will be sprucing up a bit before I start, and then can use at my convenience. Meaning, that I can now advertise down here as a massage therapist, working in a respectable clinic, with what seems like a great team, who worries none about their clients becoming my clients. In fact, it is good PR all around.

So today I was called about a Site Coordinator position for a non-profit tutor/after-school program. $33,000/year, benefits, great experience.

And I am about to have a baby, and the teaching positions, and real work, will come when I am ready.
