So I got a job ...

Semi-accidentally I think. Here's the story (in brief). 

I worked a bit with the President of Fuller, Dr. Mouw, when I was at CTI. Since he knew me, he has very kindly been recommending for different jobs around Fuller. A woman from the Fuller Foundation contacted me about a month ago telling me that they were looking to hire another admin assistant/front desk person and would I be interested in applying? I thought, well, why not look into it? 

I met with her and a couple other people Thursday morning for an interview marathon and ended up being offered the job.

Perks: 

- 20 hours week 

- low stress/mind load (mostly answering phones, etc)

- comparatively good pay 

- flexible scheduling 

- catered lunches for the staff EVERY day (this one was a big perk for me ;) 

- a fully staffed kitchen of munchies and drinks for the staff 

- a very kind staff - about 13 people, including 4 girls my age!

- location: it's in a suite in a fancy pants building right across the street from Fuller 

- a paid for parking permit (very nice in this area) 

It's a very professional feeling place. The foundation helps people across the country with estate planning so it's fairly customer service and financially based. The staff seems very kind, but they are definitely serious about what they're doing. Vacation time is really limited, which is the only bummer. 

For the most part I feel pretty good about it. Except that I had decided that unless something great came up I wasn't going to work and then this just kind of fell into my lap. I realize in a lot of ways it's a blessing, but I'm sort of mourning the loss of all my free time in the day as well as feeling a little scared about how I'm going to balance this schedule. 

So there you go. There's the most recent happenings from Pasadena. Matt is currently installing light fixtures and setting up our kitchen table. Pictures of the apartment will come soon!
