One Step Closer to Being Broke 99.9 Precent of the Time

 Working with drunks 'til 2 a.m-- Sounds like fun, right?

I recently have discovered that I am fed up with working at the bar and have also been fueled by the minor panic that I am going to graduate soon and I still don't have a single "career" job or anything remotely related to my field of study or interests lined up. 

While I was out at my local gear shop, EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports), I figured, "Heck lets just see if they are hiring--" and God was listening and they were. Score. I filled out the application and then proceeded to the worst part of the job search process... waiting. Now here is where the story gets interesting because I probably wouldn't be at this stage if Brandon hadn't pushed me. 

Of course when I told my equally addicted boyfriend that I might be getting a job at his frequently visited gear shop he almost exploded. Literally. Then we proceeded to strategize and plan a way for us to continue to be together and not go completely broke. 

In the end I think we settled for a payment plan. 

So when I started losing hope that I wasn't going to get a call back Brandon insisted that I call and see. Partially to help me out, but I also think he couldn't let this opportunity to buy loads of gear from his inside connection to pass us by. I called and, after an awkward feeling conversation with one of the store managers, I passed the phone screening. 

Today is Interview Day!

I am not too nervous, I actually think it is mainly excitement. I mean as part of my interview I get to stand in front of a wall of rock climbing gear and just talk and share my love of climbing---which is basically what I do in this blog... minus the epic gear wall behind me. I also found out last week that one of the other managers is a guy that climbs at my gym :) All in all, wish me luck and go out and love some rocks for me!
