We left for Highwater at 8. We had to stop in Granville and ask directions to 661-N but we managed to get there in time. My interview was 20 minutes long and I think it went pretty well. They were impressed by my computer experience and the only downside was being asked point-blank how long I was going to be in Newark (i.e. are you going to be on the job for a month and quit). My answer was that I knew I’d be around until September and after that, it was up to the One True Church [sic]. (I’ll explain this tomorrow or maybe in the next entry, depending on how much I feel like writing.)

If I get the job, I would be the administrative assistant and I’d basically be creating the position from the ground up. (I commented that “I’d always wanted to be part of a start-up”.) They showed me the office I’d be in (which is still being built) and there’s a new computer and printer. The position is really everything I like to do and I’m hoping I didn’t come off as too flippant in my interview. I’ll probably hear in a week or so and if I don’t get it, I’ll have to trust that God wants something else for me. I really prayed hard going into this and I feel fairly at peace with it (well… at least when my brain isn’t picking over every little detail).

So… it’s in your hands Lord. I just do hope (and pray) I get the job.

I haven’t blogged in a few days because I haven’t had any good news or anything really of merit to say. The people who had our car for a week (!!!!) called this morning and told us that they couldn’t fix it, but recommended people who could. We are now renting a car to get errands done and to get me to my job interview tonight. I got the W2’s photocopied for the care application and now all I need to do is get all the forms together to mail. I paid most of the bills and will take care of the rest when Jon gets paid.

My job interview tonight is for a church secretary position at a local UCC congregation. I’ve been to the church once for a Gospel concert in November and they asked me to come meet with their pastoral committee tonight. I’m nervous because it would be a great job. It’s only 15 hours per week (3 per day) but that still isn’t too bad and it gives me something to do. I’ve decided not to tell them that I’ll probably be gone in September because I don’t know that for a fact and I also don’t want to jinx the job.

I’ve uploaded entries up until Valentine’s Day 2001. I’ll upload another 10 pages of MT entries tonight.
