you're lucy. lucky?? YESSS lucky.

up until my move to delaware i have been lucky enough to go through three simple steps when i have needed a job:

1. decide on job i would like to have
2. apply/interview
3. get job offer

i'm lucky. i know. delaware, however, has proven to change things up.

as a military wife, i don't have a lot of control over where i live and when i move. actually, i have no control. when you are in the education field, it is not the best timing to move to a new state in the middle of the school year. it also does not bode you well when applying for new teaching jobs to try to obtain one in january, knowing you will probably be moving within a year...in the middle of the following school year. so i thought, i will just get a "fun job" for the year we are in delaware....

attempt #1: williams -sonoma. apparently january is also not the best time to apply to retail stores, as they tend to keep on many of the "extra holiday" workers they took on. boo
attempt #3: pottery barn. they are renovating the building from january through april. fantastic. i'll just sit around for 4 months.
attempt #3: a perfect position at the local YMCA overseeing the childcare program. or so i thought. the "local" YMCA i thought i was looking into turned out to be over an hour commute. not quite worth it.
attempt #4: subbing. still working on it.

more perks of being a military wife...small towns with ample job opportunities. i'm lucky!
