I am back. Yes, I am still alive and haven't died from starvation from not having a job. My last posting updated ya'll on the progress of my buzqueda de trabajos and fortunately, I am able to tell you that I am an official employee of Pier 1 Imports. My official title is a sales associate and I love wearing my cute apron and working in a place surrounded by fun and artsy items. I work only part time, but part time is better than NO time! HAHA!
I continue searching for another part time job, specifically in the non profit area focusing on youth mentoring/tutoring/counseling. I volunteered my entire last year of Peace Corps at an orphanage and had a great time working with the kids and the administration so I'm hoping to find something similar. I've gone to a handful of interviews with several non profits within the past two weeks. Actually, today I just interviewed for the second time for an organization and even though I was 15 minutes late (traffic was bad -I should've known Friday would be busier than usual), I think it went well! The position is part time as a coordinator of volunteers, parents, and students of an after school tutoring program of the local Boys and Girls Club.
In other news, I just finished spending a week with the Danimal and also was lucky enough to have Anna, Ben, and Burnett visit with me at my house! I love B42ers!! It was really crazy to see us all together again. I can't wait for another PC reunion with mis otros companeros.
-George, I'll be here the night of the game, so give me a call!
As soon as I snag another job, I'm going to seriously start looking at colleges and the programs they offer for school. I've thought a lot lately about entering the field of medicine. With my background in business, this sounds completely ridiculous, but I feel it could work in my favor. I'll have to make lists upon lists of pros and cons before I commit to anything, but I am going back to school, no doubt about it.
I have one last update, but it's not about me. This very exciting news concerns some great friends of mine who have been trying their hardest to make their dreams a reality. They are known as Tenderhooks and just scored a gig as the opening act for ZZ Top in New York! Their music doesn't sound anything like that of ZZ Top, but who knows whose attention they'll catch by being the opening act. I'm so proud of them and wanted to share their little bit of success with ya'll. Their website is http://www.myspace.com/tenderhooks if you want to check them out.
