Not Having A Good Start!

Well, I've been here 3 weeks and still have no job. I got a call for a grooming position at a dog resort. I went in for an interview, it went great and I was sure I made a good impression. She asked me to come in this morning for a "test day" to see how I work and groom. Again, I think it went great. She even had me fill out a bunch of paperwork including the w-4 forms, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that usually mean you're hired. Apparently not at this place. After I finished grooming my last dog, she tells me she still has a few more applicants to interview and will give me a call in the next few days.... what??? I was so excited thinking I finally found a job. My stress levels were going down and I was finally starting to relax and now I get hit with a brick. I did get a call for an interview at another pet resort so hopefully that interview will go well and I wont get mixed answers. Keep me in your prayers and wish me luck. I really want it to work out here... I don't want to move back to  Texas and be the center of people's jokes thinking I just gave up. :(

Day 7!

I've offically been here 1 week and so far... so good. I still don't have a job but have an interview tomorrow. Hope it goes well. Today I helped Renee at the Nature Center that she volunteers at. I helped feed the turtles and lizards, but refused to touch the snakes. They also have a spastic chipmunk that I didn't really care to go near lol. It was gross because I had to handle worms and crickets but I got it done! :) So I've worked out a plan with Renee and Jay that I will just live here until I buy a car, that way when I move out I wont have to rely on Renee picking me up for work. I just hope I land a job that pays good enough. Jay says I need atleast 5,000 for a good cash car or even for a down payment on a used car. It's really stressful right now. I don't have my own room as I was promised but nothing I can really do about it. It's their house. I've already made it clear that I will help with bills, food, etc but Im not paying rent to sleep in a 4 year olds bed (which is where Im sitting at this moment) lol. Keep me in your prayers and wish me luck!
