WHEEEEEEEEEE! As noted previously in the March pit thread, I have been furiously emailing, faxing, and calling various veterinary clinics, looking for a paid position that also fulfills the externship requirement for my last quarter of school, and I DID IT!!! I had a working interview on Monday and an office-interview today. I was home from the interview for about an hour today when I got a phone call from the DVM from Monday. Initially, she wasn’t planning on making a decision until next week, but either I really nailed it or everybody else really sucked, because she offered me the job and I said Yes Please!!! Plus, she offered fifty cents an hour more than I asked, so I will be able to pay for daycare and actually MAKE money instead of just basically breaking even. Then, when I pass my licensing exam and get my license, I’ll get a raise. That will be in about a year. YAY for me! ---

Thanks everybody. Now I have to hunt for child care. We found a local lady we really liked back in January, but of course she filled up. But I think I’ve got another good lead. She’s near my route to work, seems to be level-headed and reasonable, and has the same first name as me! We’re going to for a visit on Monday. ---
