We just wanted ya'll to know that we both now have jobs, so we are going to be able to afford rent when it comes due in June.
I got a job at the Painted Clay Studio. It is a place where a people can come to paint pottery in addition to miscellaneous other things. I am liking it very well thus far. It is a small studio with 4 employees plus the owner, so no corporate rules to mess with. The funny thing about getting the job is that I met the owner at Copy Express sending a fax of my resumes to various places and she gave me an application. It is just a part-time job for now but has the potential to become a full-time position, but we wiill see.

I've started as a server at Puleo's Grille. I greet every table within 45 seconds as such: "Hello, welcome to Puleo's, my name is Matt, I'll be taking care of you this evening. can I start you off with a Big Orange Bellini, Puleo's Pina Colada, or a glass of our Secret Sangria?" all with huge cheesy smile and facial expressions. Then after the "45-second greet", I say "While you're looking over the menu, why don't I put in an order of our Fried Green Tomatoes, or Spinach Queso Dip with tortilla chips for you?" The whole thing is really lame, but I have to continue to do it or I wont get the good shifts. However, in all likelyhood, it's helping my tips anyway. While being gainfully employed isn't as glamorous as we imagine it is while unemployed, I will say this, it's definately more lucrative.
