Jorbs

It is now the end of May. School ended almost two weeks ago. I've still not found a job and I'm feeling that if I don't find one soon, I'll be stuck looking for a McJob or something of that nature to get me through the summer months.

Today, I have my third interview with a company. I've had a phone interview, a get-to-know-you interview, and today I'm meeting with engineers. I'm not feeling very good about it. I know this is a technical interview. I also know that I haven't thought much about electrical design since I graduated a year ago. Hopefully things will go well for me. I should still have the ability to tap my reserve of EE knowledge, but I don't know if I can be specific enough for this interview.

I also need to learn to be better with my money. My mom said to me yesterday "If you have extra money, you tend to go out and spend it." This is true. I'm horrible about knowing something could be used around the house and just going out and buying it. Yesterday, for instance. My mother paid for a month of my car insurance and said "Go out and buy a lawnmower or weed whacker." So I did. I also purchased grass seed and a hose... and a cat hair trimmer and a log holder. Then I went to the grocery store and bought pop and beans. Whoops. We do *need* a hose, etc. but I probably didn't need to buy it right now.

I'm not going to get paid as well as I have in the past at the job I am interviewing for today. Hopefully I can be a good girl and get some money reserves built up again. Either that or finally fix/pay off my car.

Oh the life of an adult.
