Got a J-O-B!

No I unfortunately did not get the cupcakery job :( As I suspected, they found someone with more experience. I'm sure it wasn't difficult! I was severely bummed at first, even more so after interviewing for my second job at Victoria's Secret.

I just felt like after spending 4.5 years working my ass off for my college degree about something I am truly passionate about (teaching), that I deserved something better than retail at the mall. The interview truly bummed me out. I threw myself a mini-pity party. Then I reminded myself.....

THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT THING!

There is no shame in working at this place. I get a great discount, and only work part time. So my husband and I can still spend quality time together. AND BONUS, I have a reason to get out of the house, meet some people, and make a little bit of cash. (did I mention a 30% discount at my most favorite store ever?)

It's not in my nature to be negative like I have been. I have been in a funk that I suspect has been brought on by sheer boredom and impatience. A LOT of it. You know it's bad when you are tired of your own bad attitude.

I have a LOT to be thankful for. I have a sweet and loving husband who works hard and is passionate about his job and understands/appreciates my sacrifices. I have fantastic friends and even better family. We are healthy and do not want for anything. We are young and have our entire life ahead of us. After thinking about all that, working at a retail store in the mall doesn't sound bad at all.

Plus, I keep telling myself.....at least I don't have to go back to Wal-Mart!!! :)
