The Job

Congratulations to me, I have a job. I have a job (another one) at IHOP. I have a job at the IHOP in a neighboring state. The IHOP in Virginia has given me a job. I am working second and third shift at the far away pancake establishment. "Why a job in Virginia?" you may ask. The answer is simple; nobody in the Big JC wants to hire people just for the summer. The IHOP here (my former employer) said "NO!" My friend and former manager, Anton, gave me an interview at Ruby Tuesday's. Unfortunately, Anton's boss said, "Not if she's just here for the summer, bub." I was desperate. It was at this interview I ran into an angel I used to work with. The Angel is working at the IHOP in Virginia and asked her General Manager to give me a job. He said he would. When I went to apply for the job, he handed me an application. After he figured out who I was, he took the application out of my hand and told me to call the next day for my schedule. It was the easiest interview I've ever had.

The real lesson to be learned here is leave everybody you know on good terms if you can. Good Karma really does work wonders.

The other lesson is that linen pants are the most comfortable garment ever.
