Well chickens, guess what? I have a job! I am going to hand out name badges at a technology conference downtown. The conference only lasts for a week and I work 4 days. I like the idea of it having an end. In case it is really weird or something. But the scary thing is I have to ride the train downtown. I have never been on the thing. I went over to the station after my interview today and bent the ear of the nice man who works there. He answered all my questions and I got out and learned how to use the ticket machine and found out as much as I could. Now I am going to see if I can get my hubby to ride with me down there and back as a trial run before next week. I don’t want to be working bugs out of my commute at 6:00 in the morning on my first day of work, okay?

Anyway, I am not TOO freaked out and they said the job pays 9.50 an hour. Not an insulting wage at all for a newbie. It’s more than I am making right now!
Which is absolutely nothing... :-)

My mothering instincts kicked in and I was mulling over what I should pack myself for lunch, how warm a coat to wear in the chilly morning, making sure I have train fair quarters at hand. I almost feel like I am launching someone else into a new venture. But it’s ME! I wonder what the psychological name is for this mild disconnect?

So now, I am off to go for a walk and work off what little “wiredness” I have after all this new input into my rather cloistered existence….

Today the technology convention, tomorrow.... well, let's just see when we get there.
