employment!

so.... out of the blue, i have a job. a real-live, 40-hours-a-week, paying job! what the what?!

since starting school, my attention has definitely been focused on being a full-time student and i havent been looking too hard for a job. plus, ive had a few part-time gigs that have kept me busy and i just havent felt the need. essentially, i was passively looking. i would apply when opportunities came up that sounded appealing to me.

a few weeks ago, a friend from my church posted on facebook that there was a job opportunity for an administrative assistant position and asked if anyone was interested. i replied yes, assuming nothing would come of it.

then, i was called to come in and interview - since that is such a rare response for me to get, i got cautiously hopeful. when i went into the interview, we talked for a few minutes and then i was offered the job! SO COOL!

so now i am working at a construction company here in davis. the commute is about 10 minutes and i really like the people im working with and what i am doing. ill be doing mostly administrative work initially and will slowly pick up other tasks, such as accounting work, as needs be.

its a great job for me especially because it is a perfect stepping stone towards librarian work. i also love it because it is close and because it is a small company which solicits growth on my part - more opportunities to different jobs!

i am so grateful for the chance to learn, contribute, and begin to establish more financial independence for my little family. phew! what a relief : )
