After two months of searching for jobs, and being stubborn about not going back to Olive Garden, it is time to be realistic. Since I am not looking for a long-term job or too permanent job, it narrowed my search quite a lot. I wanted to be able to experience something other than the restaurant work, and I thought I was going to get it with a staffing agency that placed temporary workers in offices. But that didn't work out for me, and I couldn't wait for that any longer. So I decided to go back to Olive Garden. Lo and behold, they do not allow you to work there full-time any more. Which is okay now, because I was thinking of only working part-time and finding a job for the day time. Working there will give me quick money and I'll get a little bit of exercise running around the restaurant like crazy.
After waiting so long, I finally was able to interview with another physical therapy company on Tuesday. I hadn't expected the phone call because I was under the impression they weren't in any hurry to hire and I didn't want to get my hopes up. I received the phone call right when I was about to apply to other part-time jobs that I knew I wouldn't like. I had the interview on Tuesday and earlier today I received the phone call telling me I received the job! I'm so happy about it. And everything just fell into place this week. I'll be able to go to Li Yin's wedding with no conflicts on both jobs. And I'll be able to go to my cousin's wedding too. Such a blessing from God. :)
Although these past two months have not been easy, I think having two jobs will make it easier (although there will be stress added as goes with any new job, especially the juggling act of two jobs). It'll make it easier in the fact that time will pass by quicker and I will be doing something (and earning money at that!).
It's been a good day despite over-sleeping and being late to work this morning. Haha.
