Today, when I was paying the minimum amount due to keep my cable Internet from going away (because I am broke and have more bills right now than I can possibly pay), the other line beeped in and it was the local restaurant calling.

I'd gone in for an interview earlier this week, and I went away thinking that I wanted the job and that I would probably get it. The interview, I thought, went really well.

I was right. I start orientation tomorrow morning at 10AM. My required outfit? Jeans and tennis shoes. They seem like really great people. I'll be training mostly for stuff around the restaurant, it sounds like, but my regular gig will be delivery driving. That's right: I'm actually excited about delivering food.

Of course, that excitement is because I've been without work for months. I'm running out of games I can sell on eBay without bursting into tears. Bills are mounting. It's not pretty, not at all. So having work now (plus I will get tips on top of an hourly wage) is really exciting. Besides, I like what I've seen of my new employers. They seem like really great people.

The job could still blow up in my face at this point. That's certainly possible, but I hope it won't. I can't afford to spend another few months looking for a different job. My health won't take it. So even though by many people's standards my new job will sort of suck, be happy for me and stuff. I'm back in the work force!
