The Half-Price Bookstore is interviewing people for positions this week, and I’m going to go over and see what’s up. I know, it’s only a retail position (right now, jobs in my field are slim pickin’s) but it’s a JOB, and it’ll get me out of the house and back on my feet again. Plus, it’s in a bookstore. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, cast a spell, good wishes-whatever’s your bag. Please. I so need this. 😉 ---

A bookstore is a hell of a lot better than MickeyD’s. Good luck, **Guin**! ---

Hmm … only thing I really know how to do is run naked through threads… ::runs nekkid through thread, covering head with “Good Luck!” sign:: Don’t want to scare the kiddies with my face, after all;) [sub]I’ve seen some really huge threads down here in SouthWest Virginia…[/sub] ---

Pretty well. They told me they’re interviewing others too, so if I don’t hear from them, call back in a day or so. Eeee!!! If I get the job, it’s full time, and after so many weeks, I get full medical and dental. How freaking cool is THAT? (But I’m trying not to think about it like I got the job. If only because I don’t want to get disappointed if I don’t. At least it’s a start…) ---

Sounds like a good job for you. I hope you get it.
