Job Disappointment

I finally heard today about the job at the apartment complex.  They hired someone directly, and did not go through the employment agency.  I am bummed, but the woman I interviewed with said she would help me make contacts in state government.  I am waiting on a cooling down period.  In the meantime, I have a job selling vitamins at Costco, starting a week from Saturday.

I am telling myself that I have been here 9 weeks, and that's not that long to be looking for a job in a new place.  I know it's not, but the time before that is what's killing me.  And money.  

I have been reminded that although I posted pictures of my charges over the weekend, Ginger and Toby, I never posted pictures of my daily companions, Tessie and Lacey.  They are a lot of fun (although I think they are upset that I left for a few days and fraternized with other dogs).  Here they are:

Tessie is the pug and Lacey is the beagle.  They are never, ever this peaceful together.  They had just returned from a long walk.  Every night during Jeopardy, they have a wrestling match.  They jump on the furniture and tear up and down the stairs, into the kitchen, etc.  It lasts about 10 minutes; then they are exhausted, drink water, and go to sleep.  The wrestling match usually repeats itself later on, between 10:30 and 11.

WONDERFUL NEWS: Counting down to Alexandra coming in 3 days!  I can't wait to see her!

Have a great day, everyone!
