Weather impeded

Yesterday I missed my workout because I spent the morning and much of the afternoon on base again. I went to an orientation with the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, because I plan to start volunteering with them...with the hours drying up at work now that the holiday season is over, I need something to do with my time. Doing something productive on my off-days will keep me from diving headfirst back into this past summer's off-and-on "Waaaah I'm so worthless why will no one hire me my degree is trash" depression. Besides that, logging hours with an organization that works directly with service members and is...you know, government and stuff...will probably do a lot more for my resume than retail. One day I'll land that big-girl federal job!

Today, unfortunately, the weather is not cooperative. It's been a very rainy month, and today followed that trend, with the lovely addition of 40mph wind gusts. No thank you, getting pelted with rain and then blown into traffic is not on my schedule. It's been a pretty good day, though...despite the weather being too ugly to go outside in, it's nice and warm, so the windows and screen door are open. This, of course, means that Panda is running absolutely wild...she must be entirely recovered from her surgery by now.

I got two exciting phone calls today. I've got an interview scheduled for Monday to work in a store on base...it's still retail, but it pays a bit better, and hopefully the hours would be more regular. That will likely be the deciding factor for me...if they're offering more hours, and at better times, I suspect I'll take it. The other call was from a nearby pharmacy. As some of you know (but have likely forgotten, since I never talk about it) I've been taking an online pharmacy technician course, courtesy of the MyCAA program (basically, free training in a portable career since James is a Marine). I'll be finishing it this week, either today or tomorrow, so I did an application the other day and planned on doing some more soon. Anyway, they called me today, and I'll be taking an online assessment of some kind in the near future. So one interview Monday, with maybe another to come...maybe I can keep this positive momentum going, and I'll get a call for that dream-job too.
