Brendas Online Diary
Shopping is not my favorite activity. Especially if I have to buy clothes for myself. I don’t mind buying clothes for guys – and I’m really good at dressing guys well. But shopping for women is frustrating finding the right fit, the right color, the right price.
One thing I don’t mind shopping for is shoes. When I find out a shoe store is have a BOGO – I’m there! A girl cannot have too many shoes.
Good news! Julie got the new job and they asked her to start right away. Of course she said, yes! She came over to tell me the good news this afternoon when I got home from work.
The department store scheduled her for two days of orientation on Saturday and Sunday. Then she starts actually working a regular shift on Monday. I don’t know what kind of schedule they will give her, but I hope it is “family friendly” so she can find day care and be home at nights. She has a darling little boy to take care of, and I know that finding child care for a night shift is very hard. Let’s hope it works out good for both of them.
Julie found a bunch of job opportunities in the Sunday newspaper. This morning I got a call on my phone for her about a job she applied for, just as I was about to leave for work. I was so excited!
I ran across the parking lot to her building and banged on the door to wake her up and get her to take the call. It was a big department store needing a full time clerk.
Julie talked to the lady for a few minutes and was able to make an appointment for an interview on Tuesday. I sure hopes she does well in the interview and gets this job. Even if it is just minimum wage or part time, she needs the money and it can tide her over until she finds a better one.
