so in the course of less then a week, i have set up about six job interviews. i have been on three and have been offered a job at two of them. one is at out of the blue, in rittenhouse square. it is a new place, but has an insanely upscale clientele and crazy menu. i start there tonight. the second is at the restaurant attached to the morris house hotel on 8th street. it is the tiny, cute, finefinefine dining place that will open in mid april. the third place i went, the Loews hotel on market, is the job i would kill for. seriously. and the manager i spoke to said that i will most likely get the job- but because of the formalities of a huge corporate business, there will be a lull inbetween the hiring and starting. that is why i accepted the other job for now. BUT the Loews job is perfect. it is for cocktail servers. it would be a full time job, with benefits, 401k, the CUTEST uniforms ever (good thing i am not a chunk monkey anymore and am limiting myself to a strict once a day meal), and the best part...the pay is 7 an hour...plus tips! the cocktail servers there walk each night, with anywhere from 200 to 400 a night. what?!?! so on top of 210 a week in pay checks, even if i low ended and made 200 a night, 5 nights a week...yeah. do the math. 1000 dollars. low end. plus the 210. you can see why i am so stoked. tulia has decided to work part time with the mortgages, mostly from home, so she can be with connor at night while i am at work. eventually, i want her to start taking classes to earn her teaching degree. so that is that. and just incase it doesnt happen with the hotel, which i am still prepared for, i have 2 other interviews today. our lease is up in about 4 months, so we want to have money saved to get a nice place in jersey, somewhere like mt laurel or that area. connor will be starting school soon so we want to be in a nicer area for him. and there is talk of jersey being an actual greater state, becoming the second to allow gay marriage. plus i am a jersey girl. i tried to deny it, but i can't. so all is well...and this time i really mean it, not like the last time i wrote an entry!
