That thing where I finally got into the groove of stuff at my new job and I was making great time on everything and then the entire system crashed. Maximum Monday.

I know this blog has become a place for the pouties lately, and I apologize.

So, here’s some good stuff:

  • I got hired for that second job that I interviewed for. And I was so sure I wasn’t going to get it and it’s going to look fucking amazing on my résumé so huzzah. Both that and the other one are fairly low time commitments so I’m keeping both for now. So mama’s got this and she is GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.
  • I’m going to a party tonight with my cohort, who I really like thus far. They’re really cool people.
  • I’m starting to get to a place where I can write about all the sexy stuff I did with Sir while he moved me in and actually be sexy about it. So keep on the lookout.

So, I had an interview for a part-time job while I’m here for grad school to make some money on the side. 

Guess who got hired on the spot?

(And I’ve got another interview tomorrow for another position, but this certainly takes some pressure off.)

Big girl meow indeed.

So, I got what isn’t on-paper a job offer but is essentially a job offer.

Doing something wonderful and challenging.

With a starting salary that is unexpectedly good for somebody with my degree and academic interests. (Which isn’t, like, what is persuading me to go.)

In the coming weeks, I’ve been invited to check the place out, meet some potential coworkers and see if this is right for me.

After feeling really anxious about my future for the past few weeks, I’m going to go have a slice of pizza and just revel in this.

Help!

Well, tumblrinas, I have a dilemma. And I figure so many of you post “oh, oh, oh, you can ask me advice about anything” and I need an unbiased opinion. So, here goes.

I honestly don’t see myself continuing this summer at the job I am in. My boss is a family friend, but has been taking advantage by underpaying me. Moreover, she’s homophobic, racist, senile, and just honestly impossible to deal with. Even though I explained that I can’t go out in the sun for the rest of the summer because I had the thing removed from my face, she is insisting that I sit outside for half an hour every day once it heals, which she figures will be a week. A half an hour in the sun every day. Because “it doesn’t look that bad”.

There’s a potential that I could have another, much higher-paying, much more relevant to my interests job. However, I have known this woman since I was a small child and she has been guilt-tripping me about how much she needs me. But, I really, honestly do not see myself working there the whole summer and staying sane. She changes my hours (in very drastic ways) without a moment’s notice at the last minute and with no regard for any other plans I may have, her personality is infectiously negative, and she does really tricky things with my pay to avoid some taxes but also to avoid actually paying me what I deserve. But, once again, she’s been in my life for a very long time, she needs me, she’s a family friend, I know she cares about me.

So, what do I do? Do I see if I can take this new job and leave? Do I just leave immediately and then find work? Or do I stick it out for the summer?

Oh my goodness.

I just received the most amazing message a few hours ago and I’m still shaking with joy. The future looks amazing, tumblr. My optimism is through the roof. I feel like I’m on top of the world.
