Job Interview

I haven't had a job in about 7 years I think. I mean a paying gig. I work all the time, all day, all night, work, work, work.

I am going crazy being home alone during the day. I have things to do. But, I have totally lost my mind. I think I am grieving the ending of Lily's baby years. She is after all my last baby. The walls are closing in on me and I am so depressed I am having to force myself to eat, shower, etc.

I have been volunteering a lot. That is nice and all. But, it is not enough. I was talking to Jeff about it and I told him I really want to get a job. I think if I had a purpose, someone counting on me, during those long hours I might not feel the walls closing in on me. I am disappointed in myself for not being more productive. But, I hit the wall of funk and I went splat.

Jeff tells me that financially we are hurting. This summer killed us. He said any money I earn would be tremendously helpful. So I looked online and I found the coolest job. It is a contract position, paid by the job, no set hours. Much of the job is done at home on the computer. Other parts can be done around my schedule.

So I applied. They called me up 10 minutes later and I have an interview tomorrow. They said that they were looking for someone just like me. That they are a home based company, an Internet start up and that they are so small that they need someone who can do a lot of things. They said that my background as a secretary and computer information science major are great. They need a little bit of secretary stuff, a little bit of data entry stuff and a little bit of in the field stuff. This company takes picture and posts information about cars that are for sale on lots. They also enter this info onto craigslist. I would have to go to dealerships and take pictures and gather info about the cars on the lots and then upload all that to the Internet.

They ask if I know how to upload photos from a camera to the Internet. Ha. I explained about the hours I am available due to wanting to be home for Lily in the morning and in the afternoon and they are willing to work around my mommy duties. They also said that they are rapidly expanding and that there is opportunities for growth within the company.

It all seems to be falling into place so smoothly like it is meant to be. Or is it too good to be true. Very excited. Next thing you know I might have an actual paycheck.
