一件小小的开心事

刚刚打电话给社区大学的图书馆，得知我的background check通过了，我现在是正式volunteer啦。哈哈。不领钱的工作也做做看。

前天去mall瞎逛的时候，看到Sears照相馆，走进去问她们要不要招人，还顺便把我给两个小魔女的照片秀出来，结果人家要我第二天去面试。昨天面试完，人家说，You are great。 说星期四她的老板会打电话来。我也不知道真假。不过出来特高兴。

就是填表的时候，难过了一下。在学历那栏写下Bachelor of Science的时候，自问，What am I doing here?

今天跟老公说，要不人家Sears招我也不要去了吧？ 瞎折腾呢。

上个星期跟前老板吃饭－－ 她去年去了另外一个组，我们换了新小老板。 不过她一直对我照顾有余。 前老板说怎么样也得keep busy，那些对我今后工作没用的工作最好别花时间。 现在想想，不无道理。 照相馆的工作，属于心血来潮乱申请的。然后前老板还上我的LinkedIn Profile给我写一通recommendation。 挺感激她的。

Good luck with your trip to China. I haven't been back since 2001. I would love to go too.

I would love to see your girls' pictures as well. I am sure you have two angels. Even my two monsters can look like angels sometimes. ;-)

It's funny that you mentioned subbing for the local school district. As a matter of fact, I just went to a job fair this morning and I talked to one of the HR persons. It was an eye opening experience. I am also looking into becoming a certified educator. It costs at $4400 to go through their program and get certified. It's quite a bit of investment.

Good luck with job hunting. (I love your girls' pictures too!) BTW, have you thought about becoming a substitute teacher for your school district? This job is VERY flexible and you can pick the days that you want to work. I tried when my girls were younger. The only draw back for me was that I had to get to work by 7:00 am or so for high school assignments. Not a morning person, and husband can't help dropping off the kids either. Good thing is that you can always put this one on your resume and emphasize the skills required, i.e., communication, management, etc. ;)

Our family is going on a 2-week vacation to China starting on the 28th. I haven't been back for almost another 10 years. Excited, also a little nervous...

Take care.
