I did, in fact, get the call center position my lover was referring me for. Orientation is Tuesday. I’m getting 8.15/hr during training, then 8.55/hr when I switch to second shift in a few weeks. I’m just glad to HAVE a job. As in, bringing in money. Not yet, obviously, but a couple weeks. I can finally feel less like a mooch. Yay!

I ended up not adding the scalloped border, because I’m not all that sure of my ability to make it work, and honestly the whole thing looked pretty without adding more. It’s the four-color rainbow blanket, and I added two rows of shimmery white in single-stitch around all four sides (gods was THAT a pain in the ass, since I did double-stitch for the rainbow stripes and had to find places to anchor the single-stitch down each side) for a contrast, and it really brought out the colors and made the whole thing more vibrant.

I know it’s not totally even (some of the rows waver a bit), and to anyone who actually crochets regularly it’s probably pretty amateurish. But the point is, it’s made with caring. I’m taking pics of it tomorrow to post, and then it’s in the mail, and actually BEFORE the kid is born, no less. Damn, I’m impressed with myself.

My lover has been telling me for awhile that her work will be hiring soon. It’s a call center, whatever, I can do that, and it has excellent benefits and all the overtime you can show up for.

At last, last night she sent me the link to the customer service rep position that had just reopened for hiring. I sent my resume and application last night, including sweating over a cover letter for almost an hour. I want this job. And I’m feeling very confident in my ability to GET this job.
