End of a quarter.

Alright. I have some work to do. I have an ad campaign for which I need to create 3 sets of thumbnails that will be reviewed and either accepted or denied this evening in class. I have to create a package (like, one that would sit on a shelf in a store) for Time, and I need to figure out what's going on with this job.

I need the job. It would be a dream come true. But now I am getting anxious. If I am not offered the job. . .well. . .in a sense that takes the pressure off until July, after graduation and after Disney.

The jo posting went up right after Christmas, and I spent every last cent I had left, (and then some) to throw a portfolio together that I might be in the running. My portfolio was met with enthusiastic reviews (good!), and I got an interview (also good!). However, I had hoped that if I was offered something, it would surely be soon after that. Then the blizzard came and slowed everything down (understandable), but this also slowed the hiring process down, which now meant that I had to make my class schedule without knowing if I had a job or not.

I had another interview last week, and it seemed to go well. I met with my advisor yesterday and asked him if my schedule could be changed to allow me to attend classes either only 2 days a week, or in the evenings. As there are far too few evening classes being offered, the answer for evening classes was "no". Also, my school does not offer classes on weekends.

If I am offered this job, I am hoping sincerely that they take me on, and find some way to have me on board. I had said that should they hire me I could adjust my class schedule around my work schedule, but if there's an offer coming, it's way too late to make any adjustments now. Either they can work around my classes or they can't. Or I can ask them to let me begin working in July.

Furthermore, I have agreed to do a musical that my boyfriend is directing and choreographing. If I have the job, or not, I need to know. If I have the job, I need to find someone to fill my spot in the show. I will not have time to finish school, and start a new job, and do a show. No way. But I need to know now. I have also agreed to paint faces for the better part of a week in May. I also need to know if I need to find a sub for that, and preferably not at the last minute.

I am afraid that I am going to be offered this job, and that when I tell them that my window for altering my class schedule to accommodate the job is now closed, I will have to forfeit the position in spite of my eligibility, and that will make me crazy inside.

So, please, job. I ask that if you're going to come to me, please come quick, so I can then tell you how unavailable I am to accept you. In either case, there are a lot of loose ends I need to tie up, that depend on me knowing if I have this job or not, so please. . .do what you gotta do, so I can plan my life! Spring is a busy time of year, and I need to make some decisions if you want me. And if you don't want me, I need to know that, too, so I can go on painting faces and performing until graduation comes.

But most of all, I am hoping you will work with me, job, and let me take you.
