New job

I started working a new job on Wednesday of this week. The paperwork went through finally, and on Tuesday afternoon around 5:15 I got a call that I would be starting the next day at 9. Nothing like giving me notice! Obviously, I was very nervous for the first few days but I did manage to survive them. Amy got a new job too, through the same temp agency, and she started on Tuesday. She was nervous too, and concerned about what she was going to wear, etc. I wasn't too concerned about that. I know I always look well-dressed when I work in an office environment, but I can't think too hard about what I'm going to wear because I only own a few things that are suitable. Money has been pretty tight over the last few years for my clothing budget, and since I was only working in retail, last summer my clothing budget went toward new t-shirts and more casual summer items. I *heart* Jacob Connection! When I start having a little bit extra I have to visit and get some new things. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll probably be there this weekend, money or no.

Another friend who has recently started working in goverment has offered me the loan of any of her suits if I need to, but the environment isn't that dressy. Someday, I'm sure I'll find a suit that fits perfectly that I can afford. Until then, I stick with my meagre wardrobe, adding pieces to it here and there. What I need most is a nice pair of black sandals. But they will set me back at least $100, which I don't really have, as anything I do have is owed to EVERYBODY!
