Whatever happened to "9 to 5"?

I forgot to mention that I got a job yesterday. I went in for the interview last Tuesday and then yesterday I got a call from the agency that arranged the interview. I had figured that they would have let me know by that Friday whether or not I was hired, so I wasn't feeling too confident about it at that point. But it turns out that they were "really impressed" by me and that they want me to start next Tuesday.

I'm definitely excited to start working again and bringing home some bacon.
Actual bacon.
Since I haven't been able to contribute to the food funds, Zach hasn't bought any meat for me. Don't get me wrong - I don't mind eating vegetarian for a while, but I do like to have some chicken or bacon every now and then. Especially since when I'm not eating meat, I just eat noodles and potatoes. And biscuits and gravy!!! Not the healthiest of diets, to say the least...

Anyway, I will be starting work next Tuesday and I will be working from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. It's almost like a real job! I say "almost" because I'll be working at a call center, and to me that doesn't count as a real job because call centers have such high turnover that you are typically just serving as a warm body until you can't take it any longer. And by "it" I mean "getting yelled at by people who have had their service cut off for non-payment."

That's all for now! Yesterday was a good day for good news - and today is a good day for spreading that news.
