Today I had an interview, no not an interview, a talk with the front of house manager at new restaurant in Gainesville. She said the owner, general manager, I don't even know his name already told her that he wanted to hire me to hostess. Sweet. What is the hourly wage? They don't know yet?!?!? The restaurant has not opened yet, but the wage is pretty important is it not? So I guess I have a job. They told me it's not about waiting to hear if I got the job, it's waiting to hear when orientation starts.
Tomorrow I am attending a workshop by famous National Park Service photographer Jack Baucher. He's pretty much the best architectural photographer in the country.
And I am happy to report we now own two end tables in the living room and two nightstands in the bedroom. There are no more plastic tote boxes holding things up in the main rooms. The second bedroom is another story...all in due time.

Working It
This post goes out to my most loyal reader, my Aunt Kimmie.
Much is new on the work front. I started an internship with the City of Gainesville's preservation planner in November. I now have a project that I am leading. We are surveying the downtown commercial business district. I realized that while this internship is unpaid, I am getting valuable experience that will help me get a job.
Last week I substituted for a local high school. I subbed for a debate class and a reading class with a variety of grades. It went really well and I wasn't eaten alive. Most classes thought I was someone that doesn't mess around. Only one class thought I was "cute" and "too nice". I think I was a nice combination of structure and relaxation. I wish that I could count on two substitute jobs a week because then I wouldn't be considering my next topic.
I applied to a local restaurant two weeks ago and I have an interview tomorrow. Honestly, I am a little torn with this. I need a part time job because I want to do the internship fully. I just don't know if going back to the restaurant culture is the best for me. I am interviewing for the hostess position despite the varied experience that I offer. The person that I talked with (briefly) when I filled out the application didn't listen to me regarding my experience. Let's see what they offer at the interview and take it from there.
