It's a good day

I woke up before noon today, which is a great start for me. Seriously, I like to stay up real late and sleep even later. Something about not having anything to do during the day makes it easier to sleep. Strange, huh? Well, for some reason today felt different when I got out of bed. I felt invigorated. I felt like I could take on the world. And even more than that, I felt like actually leaving the house today. To be honest, I haven't left the house in a couple of days. I woke up, got dressed and checked the employment ads. No new jobs today. Hopefully I'll start hearing back from some of the people that I've sent my resume to.

So, I washed the dishes, put on a heavy sweater and headed out to the Ace Mart. I know, not real exciting for a trip outdoors, but at least I was outside. I bought chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, condensed milk and pecans. I feel like baking for my husband today, so I bought all of the stuff for my world-famous, super rich, 7-layer cookies. They're not really cookies, more like brownies or bars or something more significant than cookies. But I digress....

The cookies are baking and the cell phone rings. It's a local cell phone number. It's not someone I recognize, but it could have been any of our friends here. I haven't entered in anyone's phone number into my new cell phone. So the mystery person actually left a message and it was PWC asking me to interview. Now let me give you some background on PWC. I have applied for at least six jobs from them with no response. My buddy Jessica is doing her final internship with them, so I thought it would be really cool if we were working for the same company. So a couple weeks ago, I decided to try one more time. I sent them a cover letter, resume and list of references in a big envelope with fancy calligraphy addressing the package. And glory be, they called me today. So I'm interviewing next Wednesday morning at 10:15 am. The position is in East New York, Brooklyn. Not real close to the Slope, but at least it's not Harlem or the Bronx. Anyway, I'm excited about this and am looking forward to wearing my suit next week and not sweating like a pig.

Woo hoo! A job prospect! And it's even in Social Work!!! I'm really excited...

Keep ya posted...
