Well, that would be because last week's schedule change is really and truly permanent, even though my boss didn't bother to tell me and it didn't make it into paper form until the schedule for next week (I actually called in last night to double-check my schedule for today, and they told me I had work at 7, not 11... sigh.) On the upside, I now have his home phone number, and it only took me two harassing calls (with a nice, calming bike ride in between) to get a very contrite apology and a promise that I'm going to be working more soon (seeing as I'm now down to 13 hours a week, which is kinda pathetic really). Here's hoping for the best.

In the meantime, I feel like I should be writing more, sending out more query letters (blah blah blah), and thinking more long term plannish. There's a nagging voice in my head that says I should be thinking about grad school, but it usually gets drowned out by a rousing chorus of "Oh yeah? And in what field, huh?" But enough about that --- for now, anyway; I'm sure I'll get back to it the next time I'm feeling grumpy about work (update, 8:56: click on the link for related comic hilarity!) Time to drink me some chai; I'm sure it's been steeping for long enough by now (only 1/2 an hour!)

Ok, so on Saturday I got a call from the Glenwood Restaurant, asking me to come in for another interview. My last interview was back in March, when we still thought we were moving to Portland, and I told them they should probably hire somebody else since I wasn't going to be around for very long. But I must've made a good impression, because in April I let them know I was staying in Eugene after all, and they called back! So this morning I went in and talked to them, and now they're talking about what shifts to give me! As I suspected, they just had some staff quit on them, and so they need people pretty hard, and I got the impression that if it was up to the manager I spoke to half an hour ago I'd be hired already. But the deal is he's going to have me talk to his boss, who has the final hiring say, and if that goes well I'm going to have a second job! An exciting second job! Rock!
