Getting a Job

So, the dishes are not piling up as fast as they were, but let's face it: no one is going to break a habit overnight.  I am no exception.  At this very moment there are several plates, cups and pieces of silverware in the sink.  I think overall the house looks better though.  The living room definitely doesn't look too shabby.  I rearranged it last week to create a little more space.  My husband and I are expecting a baby this July, and in our 700 square-foot apartment there will only be so much room for baby stuff.  I tell you what, if anything motivates you to fix yourself, it is a child.  How can I teach a child to be a good person who works hard, manages their time well, treats people right, cleans up after themselves, and takes care of themselves if I don't know how to do it for myself first?  The answer is clear.  I need to make a few improvements.

I did get a job this week!  I worked hard for it too, going out of my comfort zone in a few areas.  First of all, I hate being pushy.  However, I was told by one person to go in twice a week after I sent in my application to this place to check up on it.  Then another person also told me to make sure I keep bugging them.  So I did that.  I filled out the lengthy application, then two days later went into the office and asked about it.  The receptionist said it takes about two weeks for them to get through all the applications, but gave me a phone number to call if I didn't hear back.  About three days later I went a friend's apartment who works there so that he could tell me about the company and their products.  He also told me some of the things to expect during the interview and what the job was like.  That day he turned in a written recommendation for me.  The next day I called the phone number I was given and was asked to come in for an interview the next day! That was the longest interview I have ever been in.  It took about an hour and a half for the entire process, but two days after that I was called up and offered the job. Hooray! I am so glad I put in the effort to get that job.  Training starts today, and I hope I can absorb all the things I will be learning.  Wish me luck!
