"doctors' office, this is liz..."

so it's my first day working at my new temp job. i call it a temp job because it is basically just steady income for me until i find something that i really want to do. i'd like to give myself the title "utility rat," which basically means i'm the office's bitch. fortunately, this does not mean filing and making coffee... it means learning all of the entree level positions so they can shift me around depending on where the staff is hurting that day.

today... i am at the front desk. pleasantly surprised to find internet access on my computer, i can keep myself entertained in between check-ins. weee. so exciting, i know.

things are looking up... i am really enjoying my job search. i'm sure that will change when i start phase two: the interviews. but then again, i kinda like the uneasiness of meeting a bunch of new people who could end up being my world. so keep your fingers crossed i find whatever it is that i think i should be looking for.

the dark side of my job search is my evening job... i have decided to enter the world of serving. the issue is that i need to chose where i'd like to begin my journey. there are tons of great restaurants in the area... and tips are high especially in rockville and bethesda... but it's pretty much a done deal that i will be moving to laurel come the beginning of october. and the rates are not going to be as high in PG. so my dilemma is... do i go for location or for bling?

we shall see. but one thing is for certain: the unemployment spell is over. let's have a moment of silence, please.
