Newly Employed

It's official. I have reentered the work force. A while ago we decided that our family could use some additional income. I spent some time figuring out my options and decided to pursue every one. I looked into tutoring (I'm still planning on trying to tutor, but I think it might be a few months before I can get that all worked out). I talked to friends and people in my ward and got a few good recommendations. On a bit of a whim I decided to pick up a few applications from the strip mall across the street from us, a job across the street couldn't be that bad right? I went into Bath and Body Works first, asked for an application, and the manager told me she was doing a group interview in 15 minutes and asked if I could have the application filled out by then. I filled out the application, had and interview, and now, 2 days later, I have a job. Not a great paying job by any means, but one that I think will be good for me. It was almost like an answer to my prayers that everything worked out so smoothly.

I'm thinking that if I can get this tutoring thing under way in the next few months, I can continue both jobs and earn a decent chunk of moolah. I know I can make a lot more money tutoring, but I'm kind of excited to have a job that gets me out of the house for a few hours a week, where I get to do mindless work, and meet new people. I was impressed with the people working at Bath and Body works from the time I walked in. They were friendly, really laid back, and everyone that I talked to seemed to be really happy with their job. The schedule should be okay too. I will be working random night shifts (7:00-10:00) and some Saturdays. My time spent working will be sporadic at first, but as we get into the holidays and the new year, I can work as many hours as I want. So, now I guess I'm a working mother. And hopefully my attempts at other forms of money making will go just as smoothly!
