Well isn't this getting interesting.
I have my admissions interview for Brenneke in half an hour.
And I just got off the phone with one of the lovely ladies of PAWS, who is very excited that I want to work for them. She said the shelter manager was pleased as punch to see I applied. So barring some strange catastrophe, I think I may have gotten the adoption counselor job at Cat City.
I talked to my manager at my office nine-to-fiver after I got off the phone with the shelter. She was open to a semi-flexible schedule on Fridays, as expected, though she didn't exactly throw me a party to celebrate. That's okay. I'll do my job and keep up my end of the bargain and all will be well. The best part of this is that the shelter coordinator said that in all honesty, they're looking for someone who could actually do more than a seasonal position, and other shifts open up often. She asked me if this was what I wanted to do on a larger scale in my life, and I told her that I'd take a full-time position today if she offered it to me. I originally applied for a full-time position at the Lynnwood shelter, but in the end I realized the commute out there (in excess of an hour most days) was just too much, especially since my main form of transport is a scooter. Cat City is only a 10 minute drive, though. So this opportunity really looks brilliant, and they even offer full benefits at 32 hours per week. And my office nine-to-fiver is not a permament position either; I am on contract until the end of August. They have not guaranteed me employment in the fall.
So I have my admissions interview for massage therapy school shortly, and I just feel like everything is all up in the air -- in a good way -- I mean, if I take this Cat CIty position, and it starts moving rapidly toward more gainful employment, I sure have no problem putting massage therapy school on hold until the next session to see what happens at PAWS. Cause it would be nice to have life-affirming work without the 15 months of madness and $15,000 in tuition.
This is exciting!
And confusing!
And exciting!
Okay I gotta go brush my teeth and print out my Personal Essay. And that's personal with a capital "P".

So, I like just gave you like a totally like glowing reference to the like PAWS lady, and she was like "I talked to Victoria and Jenn, and like, you know, Kristin is like SOOO lucky to have friends who like have such great things to like say about her!" And I was like, "For sure! You'd be like SO the shizzat if you like hired her. She like ROCKS."
