The Quest for a summer job is over!..Well at least for me...

So on Friday I wake up at 3:30 (IN THE MORNING!!) to try the assembly line Nintendo job with Chris. By the time I get there I feel sick because, it is a ridiculous time in the morning, I haven't slept well for the past two days and I get dizzy watching the DS Nintendo packages roll by on the conveyor belt. My job was to put little stickers on the packages. Another stupid move of mine was trying to keep standing during the entire time by keeping my knees locked....as a result, after two hours out of an eight hour job, I saw the stars and finally got a feel for what it's like to start to lose conciousness. Luckily, I sat down fast enough to prevent the final blacking out. However, we just went home after that and Chris and I slept for another 2-3 hours at home.

But, there is good news at the end of the day...

After Chris and I slept enough to function normally again, I went to the local daycare center where I had turned in an application. They had wanted to talk to me again. When I get there, it turns out that they wanted me to fill out papers to hire me!!! Yay!! So I start on Friday and I work with toddlers at nine dollars an hour! The best part is the shift is at 9 in the morning.....can I say *whew*?!

Meanwhile, Chris can take the morning job and is going to continue with it until he can find a better alternative. So we're looking for some Japanese translation jobs for him. *crosses fingers* And that's about if for now!
