Patrick and I are both now employed. (Please try to contain the applause)

Restaurant player that he is, Patrick actually had 2 job offers. I'll let him explain in detail, but basically the choice was between one that is very close to our house and low-key and a brand new place about a 10 minute bike ride (or 3 stops on the train) and a little more upscale, but primarily take-out so not that upscale. Since he liked the owners of both places a lot and they liked him it came down to the fact that one offers more money and a little better schedule (long shifts, but only 4 days a week) and the other offers lower pay with slightly shorter days but 6 days a week, including both Saturday and Sunday, meaning he'd have no days off with school added in.

I am working a freelance assignment I got through one of the agencies I applied for. While this is temp, without saying too much, something of a more permanent nature will most likely come up in the next week or so.

So yah - now we have some income coming in, which is a relief. Still - tho - it makes it harder to finish all the house stuff now that we're working! |
