I've got a job interview tomorrow.
I'm unclear in my own mind about it - the income won't help a lot, as I doubt they can offer me enough to cover the costs of infant day care here, but I feel like I need to keep myself in the workplace so that I don't inadvertently become a stay-at-home mom for life. And it would doubtless be good for me to interact with adults occasionally. But I really like my days playing with my baby and working on various creative projects.
However, if I have to go back to work, this job would be at or near the top of my preferred jobs list.
So, job-ma, please, in the "right thing happening" flavor.
I think a bunch of you know that my mom was layed off in November. She's been searching ever since then. But, her severence has run out, and she really needs a job.
Last week she had a really good phone interview for a job. They called her back and actually asked her if she would be willing to interview for two different jobs...they liked her that well. So, this morning, starting at 9am, she's got 7 interviews scheduled at this company. Please send all the job~ma you have, as she is going stir crazy, etc.
Also a job-ma plea.
I have my first teaching interview in an hour, and if the money is right, I'd really like it. It's a charter school that serves mostly Hispanic kids, and it'd be great.
Thanks!
I have a job offer, and am therefore releasing any jobma directed at me Erin and vw's mom-ward.
I am releasing the -ma into the wild, because THEY HIRED ME ON THE SPOT!
Thanks, all!
For some reason, the USGS map is coloring the quake as having happened within the last day, instead of the last hour, as these have happened, but apparently there were a pair of 7.0 or so earthquakes off the coast of northern California.
Our first 'ma request.
Ms. Havisham's dad had a heart attack last night. Flying out basically now to see what the situation is.
I'm back from my trip around the world! But, um, y'all wrote a lot while I was gone (shocking, really. So unexpected.) So, hi!
if there's any spare health~ma lying around, could you direct it my mom's way? she went in for a mammogram about a week and a half ago. they called her yesterday and want her to come back in because they saw a "shadow" on the x-ray.
