No. To the grumpy thread with you, jobless one.

OK, the newspaper in the next town over just posted an open position for a copyeditor/layout person with experience in Quark and Photoshop.

If everyone could pray that they decide to hire me you'll have my eternal gratitude.

I pray that they hire you!

I was rejected from a job like that in Fairborn after I moved back from New York... (*sigh* worst interview ever, the interviewer said I was too passive...umm...)

I have an unexpected job interview working in substance abuse rehab. I haven't decided if I want it or not. It pays more than my current job and I don't think I would have to leave my current job.

Is it a job you would like?

If so, and it would not drain you too much to work two jobs, I say go for it! If you find that you like it more than your current job and you don't want to work both, you can quit the one and keep the other. Or vice versa, if you hate the new job.

The job called me this evening!  They want me to start on Wednesday for a 3 week trial period.  YAY.  (Hey, even if I don't get signed on salary, at least I get paid for the 3 weeks, eh?)  Regardless, I'm a fabulous hard-working employee and once they see how amazing I am at everything I do they'll love me forever.
