Finally, finally, something good has happened. I got a new job at the library of Evangelical Institution. One of my friends who works there told me about a job opening and personally recommended me. I went in this morning to fill out an application and to have an interview. They asked me how much I knew about libraries and such, and I told them I was an English major, which lit up my interviewer’s face and pretty much guaranteed me the job, apparently. Tonight, when I got home after 9 hours of truck at Corporate Crap, I had good news when I opened my email and found that I had been hired. Although the job pays 20 cents less per hour than my current job at Corporate Crap, it has a fixed schedule, which means that I can keep the job at CC as a side job. I’ll still be making more because I have a guaranteed 40 hours per week. Plus I don’t have to work on Sundays and I get every other weekend off. The other perfect thing is that the job is temporary, and it ends right before I move. I can call the restaurant I was interviewing at and tell them that there’s no longer a need for the 2nd interview they had scheduled me for. It was rather funny when I interviewed there, because the interviewer asked me what area of English I was interested in:
Me: “Modern British literature.”
Interviewer: “Oh, literature. British? Seems rather dull.”
Me: ”I find it to be really interesting.”
So having the job at the library is perfecto. Plus, it seems that I’ll get to read most of the day anyway, since the library is pretty dead this time of year.
Finally, something good happens.
