Again an update :-)

I still can't believe it, but I just had you guys up to date on my current job situation and now everything changed again :-)

A friend of mine referred me a couple of weeks ago for a front desk position in a Physical therapy office. It didn't worked out in March, but two days ago her boss asked for my CV. We talked on the phone and I got an invitation for an interview this morning. Everything went pretty well and three hours later she called me back and offered me the job *yay* I am so happy and for my first real american job I have to say I am so lucky. The company I will work for offers their employees a lot of benefits :-) now I can put it my two weeks notice at the restaurant!

Job Update of a Newlywed

Okay guys I think it is time to update you on my current job situation. It got all quiet around here for the last few months, because I had to make some decisions.

I quit my nanny job... I love this little girl so much, but I love myself more. Even though she feels like family she is not my child, so there was no need to put her first. My life should be first and I need to move forward... 

So I gave my employer my resignation letter by end of January and had my last day February 28th. I can tell you guys they were not happy that I quit and it was the worst month (so far) of my life... It was just to much with all this commuting, the cost, not getting the appreciation I wanted for my work... I was just not felling good anymore... I couldn't get out of bed anymore and I just hated going to work... 

I asked some of my friends if they could recommend me for a job. And I got lucky :-) I got a job as hostess at a british restaurant. I was so happy! So I have been working as host since February :-) and it is so much fun! But alot of work as well. I also have some babysitter jobs during the week to get some more money in ;-) right now my work week looks pretty much like this:

Mon: 9.30am - 3.00pm babysitting, 4.00pm -10.00pm Hostess
Tues: 10.30am - 9ish Hostess
Wed: my day off, but this means studying and going to class at 7pm
Thu: 10.30am - 9ish Hostess
Fri: 9.30am - 3.00pm babysitting, 4.00pm - 1.00am Hostess

In the mornings I usually run some errands, laundry, studying, etc. i used to work on the weekends, but because of our crazy schedules during the week, my hubby and I pretty much saw each other just sleeping :-/ his schedule is the totally opposite of mine. He gets up at 3.00am in the morning, has a 2.5 hrs commute to work and works 10 hrs a day. So he is normally home around 6ish and goes to bed 8ish :-/ not much couple time, which is the reason why I took the weekends of my availability last week...

And because of all the fighting and stress we definitly need some vacation-time and enjoy our newlywed-life, so a weekend trip is in planning :-) any ideas or thoughts what we could do for a in the MD/VA/DC area? :-)
