good-ish news

So as many of you know I'm currently surviving on babysitting jobs. I have sat for five different families to date, three of them on a regular basis. The last two weekends has been for the first family I interviewed with here (who waited a month to call me back, btw) and I just found out today that they're in the process of adopting a second child, and when they do they might hire me full time. Considering the length of the adoption process (and I have no idea where in that process they are), this could mean either a full time job fairly soon or waaaay down the line. 

By the way, every job I've worked for this family, the parents have stuck around in the apartment. They don't actually need a babysitter, as far as I can tell, they just don't want to deal with their daughter all day (she is a bit of a brat, but she's from a rich nyc family, they're ALL like that). It's really uncomfortable for me, but they haven't commented on it, so I guess it's normal for them. 

I also had an interview with a temp agency that went pretty well, but I'm not holding my breath as it's a huge agency with lots of applicants with way more office experience than me. But apparently not many people are good with Powerpoint nowadays, and I'm pretty comfortable there, so that was a plus for me. See mom and dad, I have one whole marketable skill! yay!

Oh, and Sam and I went and saw Avenue Q for a big discount, and literally every single person sitting by us, all 360 degrees, had run the new york marathon the day before. It was really creepy... I felt like an unfit island in a sea of muscles. But the show was fun, and none of them had seen it or knew anything about it, so it was even more fun re-discovering the show through their eyes. 

ok, time to crash and fight the cold I feel coming. Love to all!
