Ground Control To Major Tom

We have arrived. After 35+ hours on the road and 2 nights keeping the boys from barking in hotels its good to be home. Were almost completely moved in, the pool has been used thrice already (with looks of amazement from the locals), and I have a job. I actually have 2 jobs. 2 jobs and an interview on Monday.

First I went to my interview at Sears only to find that the man I needed to talk to is on vacay. So I walked around for a little while (you dont need no car to get out of the house) and found an IHOP with a Now Hiring sign. I went in and asked for an application. Turned it in and asked if there was someone I could talk to right away. The manager came over and asked if I had any serving experience. I told him I did and he said that they had 1 person training right now but theyd be done this week and the trainer works again on Wednesday and I can start then. Yes, that was the extent of my interview. "Do you have serving experiance?" So with the garantee of income I could rest a little easier. IHOP is not where I want to work but it will put food on the table.

I continue on my walk and come across VooDoo Daddys Magic Kitchen. I notice theyre hiring servers also. I fill out an app and ask for an interview. The man isnt in until the next day so I come back then. The next day I talk to the man, this interview goes as follows. "Do you have any serving experiance?" "Yeah." "Do you know much about cajun food?" "A little but not much." "OK, well teach you about that. When do you want to start?" I start Monday.

With a job that is certian to be better than IHOP, I head back to the apartment. I decided to call Sears up and find out whats going on. As it turns out there was a mixup between the HR department and the Auto Center manager. He will be back from vacation Monday and I have an interview at 10. Its nice to know that I dont have to get this job, but it would be even nicer to have it and not have to depend on the kindness of a stranger.
