Work has been going great, stressful, but great. I am on my feet for 3/4 of the 8 hours I work, and although most of the dogs are gorgeous, sweet hearts, the owners don't often match their dogs. I adore the people I work with, they are hardworking and insane, and any lull in the hectic work will find us all in the front office, often taking about dogs as if they were 5 year olds. The biggest difference between them, is you can swear around the dogs and they won't go home and tell their parents what you said.

I have been working for a week and a half now and I just received my first paycheck. It feels so good to be solvent, of coarse all that money is going directly to rent and car insurance, but at least the money is there.

I am so grateful for this job, that someone thought it would be beneficial for them to hire me. To pay them back, I work my ass off. I may as well, since I am stuck at my work for 8 hours a day anyway. What makes this place so nice, is that most of the other employes work their asses off too. I have found this isn't always true of every job.

I have come upon a glitch. I am still looking for graphic design work, and I have been contact by 2 separate places that want to interview me. I am so excited and anxious, but I know I can sell myself. I have never not gotten a job I interviewed for, not that I wont, but I have a good track record. The issue is that I have to take off work from my current job, to interview for these new ones, but i don't want to let my current job down. How do you go about interviewing for 1 job and still do well by the job you already have.

Luckily for me, according to one of my superiors, most people don't give 2 weeks notice at the daycare. Mostly, she said, they just get fed up and leave. The least I can do is give my 2 weeks notice and help them train a new employee.

I'm just glad to have money in the bank again, and I can't wait till the day, when I am not living paycheck to paycheck.
