Contemplating a different new job, and a show
So K was working at this cool place where we got decent health insurance and restaurant credit (gift cards, nice places! 
). Then, wouldn’t you know it, she got a job offer from the City– finally. So she had to decide: take the City job with less pay, farther away, and higher insurance copays, or stay at the job with the flexible hours, much better pay, decent insurance, great boss/coworkers– where the work itself made her want to commit suicide?
She took the City job, natch. So far, she’s doing ok. We’ll see. We both decided that she’d kick herself if she didn’t take the opportunity, since she’s been trying to get on there for two years now, just not necessarily in that job. Thing is, she asked me if I wanted to give the restaurant company my resume. I said sure. The job is in IT, which would be cool; basically you sit at a computer all day and help code restaurant Point-of-Sale computers. I know, there’s more to it than that. But she loved the company and the people, and just didn’t like the work. We decided awhile ago that we should have just switched jobs!
Anyway, I have an interview with the restaurant people on Friday. Hey, they offer insurance and food! What could be better? Plus, I wouldn’t have to cross a bridge to get to or from work. Doesn’t sound too bad, until the bridge is up and you’re waiting.
Ok. Tomorrow, I deliver one of my pieces (Mandala #2, Sea) to the Edmonds ArtsNow NWCS Fall Members’ Show. Yay. I also had two pieces accepted into the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival (L’École des Mystères (The Mystery School) and Forgotten Music, which started its life as Purple Prose and has been imaged and cropped and enhanced in my CafePress.com store (HINT, HINT) and has become Music Squared and Unavoidable Delays, which has absolutely no reference or significance but just sounds pretty cool. Been taking photos lately, too, and some of them are not bad.
