Open door

So on Monday I had an interview with Urban Accents, a company started by a chef who was saddened by the lack of quality spices available in stores. That job would be an administrative position and a bit of customer service. Basically, I would be getting things done for other people that don't really have time to do it themselves, and just generally helping out around the place and doing assigned tasks for the day. Pretty much sounds like my kind of job. I definitely don't think I would be feeling bored, and would certainly be very busy. I got a bit nervous because it seems that there have been two people before me who have tried their hands at the job and got so frustrated with it that they left. However, having been a "Newlifer" for about 3 years now, I think I have the hang of the whole organized chaos thing down pretty well. I am not so big on directing my own traffic, but I can sure take orders from people, and with a bit of guidance, once you tell me what I need to do, let me loose and I'll take care of the rest. So anyway, I met two people from the company and enjoyed both of them. Most of the people are pretty young, which is exciting for me, and it's an adult environment where I can still be of service to other people. I wonder how creative I would be able to be? Creativity is my new favorite thing. I'm really into writing things, and just being able to make and create and do things. Anyway, you can't win 'em all, so generally I'd say it sounds like a pretty good fit.

The next day I also went out and filled out more applications and such because I'm pretty much not stopping until I get a job that feels right. So I stopped at Ann Taylor Loft and filled out and application and had an interview on the spot. Obviously there are pros and cons to each of these jobs, I can't quite figure out which would really be the best one. Although, the more I think about it, I think that Urban Accents would be better. Because while I can save money on buying clothes, it's really a selfishly chosen job- that would be my main motivation, and probably not really save a whole lot of money which is the other big must for me in a job. Trying to save money to buy a house, to have a family, and to be able to live a bit more freely than just paying our way through life is a nice touch.

I've been praying for an open door in just one place, and the others to be closed. I think God might have just opened the one. Awesome-I got a second interview at Urban Accents just now as well! Hooray.

Off to grab the Muppet.
