hired!

The fabric store hired me pretty much right away in my interview today and I start tomorrow. The fact that they were so eager to hire me makes me a little nervous. I smell the stink of desperation, and it is not a yummy smell. I think my interview with the law firm this morning went pretty okay, but I was nervous and stuttery and I realize that it will be a few days until they get in contact with me. Or tomorrow, really. They said they would be doing the second round of interviews Friday and Monday so I said to the fabric store people that I can't work then due to other engagements and hopefully I haven't tipped my hand... Doubtful. I also fear working with older crafty women and actually getting up and being somewhere in the morning.

The big news in the last paragraph is now because I have something it means I can pay for stuff and buy things and stop quietly freaking out about going broke and going back to Iowa . I can now look for a place to live in town before my sublet runs out at the end of the month (Hey, do you know anyone who wants to live with me?). I can stay in Portland (good). I don't have to go back to Iowa with my tail between my legs (better).

Whew.
