Hi-Ho Hi-Ho

It's off to work I go. But not really.

Yesterday my mom called me and said, "Our receptionist is going to be out for the next couple days, and we don't have anyone that can fill in for her. We're wondering if you want to come in and fill in for her and we'll pay you $10 an hour."

Of course I said yes.

After applying for employment at 27 establishments and hearing back from only one of them (the only one that has hours I absolutely cannot work... I don't even know why I applied...) I am getting a little desperate for work. So, even if I am just filling in for this Mary person, I am grateful that I can do it. I worked almost a full day yesterday, and will be working a full day today.

The best and worst part about this gig is that the only thing anyone knows how to "train" me on is answering the phones. So that is my only responsibility. They have given me the go ahead to do whatever I want to do on the internet as long as I answer all the phones and make that my first priority. This is fun cause I can peruse my favorite blogs, stalk people on facebook, and of course, catch up on my own blogging. However... after 4 hours of doing this (and 5 more hours to go) I am starting to run out of things to do on the world wide web.

Luckily I brought a sketch pad and my kindle so I can read or draw or something.

I am excited about this though. They might have me come in and work again later on for a week or something cause Mary will be gone again. I hope this works out, cause we could most definitely use the money.

So Huzzah to being kind of employed for a few days!

I am super grateful for this blessing :)


*Side note: I kind of hate that what I find "comfy and casual" is not what the rest of the world (or at least this office) finds "comfy and casual." The office dress code or whatever you want to call it is business casual, but on the more casual side of it. I wanted to wear a dress today, nothing fancy, just like what I wear every day, and as I was getting ready my mom told me that I would look too dressed up for the position I had in the office.... So I had to wear jeans... I HATE JEANS. And though I feel like my outfit is cute, and still kind of me... it's not really me. It's the office's version of me. If I look nice and acceptable, then I should be able to wear what I want, and I feel that way about any job. I mean... Just cause I dress differently than you do does not mean that my work performance is less satisfactory. So yeah... I just really wanted to wear my purple dress today.... But if I'm getting paid $10 an hour to sit on the computer and answer the phone occasionally, then I am totally good with wear jeans.
