A temporary, summer job, but still a job nevertheless. I will be working for the VA that's really close to my house as an intern. Hopefully, I will become permanent. If not, I'm stacking my change so I can get the hell out of this town. I'm here until August and then I'll take my ex-boyfriend up on his offer to stay with him until I get a job. I start my job on Monday. I'm a little nervous since I haven't worked since May 2008. But, I'm sure I can handle it.

I had to get fingerprinted and get a TB test. Come to find out I'm positive. I've been exposed to someone who has it. I have no idea where I could have gotten it from since it's airborne and anyone could have it. I don't get my chest x-ray back until tomorrow.

I've had three more federal job interviews since my last update. Two for Secretary with the IRS and one for Nursing Assistant with the VA. I'm pretty sure I got the Nursing Assistant job in the bag. I'll call tomorrow and see. Don't really want the dirty job, but I'll take it for the benefits and advancement opportunities with the feds.

I should be getting a lot more interviews for Secretary with the IRS and Nursing Assistant with the VA. Just a waiting game. I apply and forget about the application until I hear anything else. Doesn't stress me out as much.

Wish me good luck and good luck to all those unemployed!
