Ashley has a job! No need to adjust your glasses or your computer monitor. You read it correctly. I am employed.
At around 4 today, Amanda, from the adult day center called me to offer me the on-call position. I gladly accepted. Yes, I'm still worried about finances, but I figure that if I can get at least four shifts per month, I should be okay.
I am taking a pay cut of nearly $3, but you take what you can get, right? I just really want to get my foot in the door. Hopefully, in time, a position opens up and I can apply for it. We will see. In the meantime, I will go in whenever they need me and keep praying. It will all work out in the end - otherwise, it's not the end. Right?
I got honked at for my very first time today. Why, you ask? For stopping at a red light. GASP! Where I come from, it is illegal to blow a red light - even if you are making a right turn. No, I did not sit there for eons. My car hardly even came to a stop. Anyway, that irritated me, so I thought I'd share. I will just put up with it until I can afford a driver. :)
Also, I met one of the most unpleasant ladies (I use that term loosely) ever today. I was in line at Safeway, minding my own business. They were very busy, so we had to wait in line. Whatever. I had nothing better to do. The lady in front of me was cussing about prices and having to wait. She was talking to me, which I didn't appreciate. A) I still don't talk to strangers - even at 22. B) I did not want to listen to her bitch. There was no escaping, though. I was never more happy to get out of a store in my life.
So, overall, I decided that I hate Arizona people today. One of the few times I leave the house, I have two bad experiences. What the heck? Although, the people in the checkout line next to me all seemed to be very pleasant. I wanted to stand with them. The grass is always greener on the other side, though, huh?
In other news, Jeff and I finished season two of "Alias" last night. The ending really pissed me off. They have some 'splaining to do in season three!
Well, I'm going to go start my spaghetti now. Wish me luck!

I can't believe, with your driving, that this is the first time you've been honked at. When people come up on your car they expect it to be an 90 year old woman who can't see over the steering wheel. Imagine their shock when they see a perky 22 year old in a clear raincoat.
Happy to hear you're a "Working Girl" again.
