new job interview!

Submitted by bmfsurvivor on Fri, 02/02/2007 - 2:56pm

So the stuff with my friend and his wife is kinda fine now. I think she still is uneasy around me a little but that's 'cause we just don't know each other that well. We will have to schedule time to hang out and get to know each other better. It's really more of a fear of not knowing really more than anything.

But so now the new big thing in my life is that I am going to go to a job interview for a job that pays about $4/hr more than my job as a barista at a coffee shop. The coolest part of it is that it requires a bachelors degree which I have so now I can actually use my degree to make more money, so it is good for something. yea! It's a temporary type job scoring student essays from like Feb-May, but that is enough time to give me some extra money which I really need right now to allow me to move out of my apt when my lease is up.

I am really excited because I have wanted to move out of my apt pretty much since I moved in a year ago but can't afford anything else. I live with a bunch of students who party till all hours of the night when I have to be at work at 5:30am. It sucks. And I am really skiddish around a lot of people I don't know because of my abuse history so I can never relax in my apt. So my lease is up in August and it is looking like I might actually be able to find another place to move. I really want to find an efficiency but I know I will never be able to afford that so I will need like a 2 bdr with one roomate. But that is still better than what I have to deal with now. And preferably I can find someone in their mid-late twenties so I don't have to deal with this teenage bullshit any longer. Grrrr....

All I have ever wanted my whole life is a place I can really call home. I spent so many years living with my abuser and then being bounced around in different institutions and stuff, then I went straight from that to the dorms and student apartments. I can't wait till I can find a place that I can call home where I can feel like I belong there, like I can just be me and that is enough.....

Now I feel like I might be getting a bit closer to that....

Just wanted to ask how your

Just wanted to ask how your interview went--sorry if I'm being nosy! Your post reminded me so much of my own history that I'm now your unofficial cheerleader.

Moving into my own place was nearly dreamlike in my mind. It was so hard for me to believe I had my own space, my tiny fridge, oh, all of it. I did have a studio apt. but it was just what I needed...enough space for me and my two cats.

Good luck,

Skye

Thanks:)

Thanks so much Skye. the interview isn't till tommorow so we'll see. I can't wait to get rid of my roomates though that is for sure. With any luck I will be able to afford a studio and find someone to take over my current lease. Yea!
