Good News
My father-in-law got a job! After months of complaining about the online application process that every company uses nowadays, he walked into the local Big Box Store and asked to speak with a manager. She liked him, and after a phone interview, in-person interview, drug test, and orientation, he is finally hired! My mother-in-law is thrilled.
Bad News
It's only temporary, for the holiday season, though there is a potential for him to get hired on permanently. This isn't really my father-in-law's ideal job, and he would rather find another one. Also, he's only working from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. two days a week, which guarantees that me, Emmie, and him will still spend plenty of time in the house together.
Good News
I, too, got a seasonal part-time job! It's at a store that sells my most favorite brand of purses EVER. It's absolutely perfect timing, because over the winter break between semesters I don't teach for a month. Thus, I don't earn a paycheck. There is also the opportunity for me to come back in the summer, which is great because I only have one class lined up right now. I love this company and am so excited to expand my product knowledge and talk about it with customers and get paid for it! Plus, the employee discount is unbelievable!
Bad News
Bruce is worried that my paycheck will go right back to the company, because I'll be buying everything I see. I have to exercise self-restraint! Furthermore, it would have been wonderful to have all that time off with Bruce and Emmie, but then it would be harder for us to pay the bills. Such is the sacrifice we have to make to get what we truly want in life.
