I Said I Wouldn't But I Did

Friday evening I applied for a part time job.

I know, I know. I'm not sure I believe it myself.

What possessed me to ask for the pleasure of:
making slightly more than minimum wage
so that people half my age can boss me around
while I stand on my feet all day
surrounded by the public
while having to wear something dressier then jeans and a sweatshirt.

Lord help me!!

I did it because this is the time for seasonal, part time work and I need a little more structure in my day. I watch too much of Walker Texas Ranger and get out too little. I start lots of quilts, embroidery projects and knitting but finish on a small portion of them. I think about joining a quilting guild or taking a knitting class, but I am too comfortable in my rut. I've started to like shopping and that scares me.

So Friday I applied for a job at my favorite establishment. I dropped off my application and it's beautiful cover letter; talked to the manager and now have an official interview lined up for Wednesday evening.

We'll see.
