So it looks like I got a job. I start Monday teaching English in Hinesville GA. And thought the staff have been ever so nice (almost too nice like in a weird "please join our cult" way) and even tried to help me find a place to live, I started to despair about my future surroundings. Hinesville is essentially a collection of strip makks near an army base along with collections of bachelor pads for rent. These were the most disgusting apartments I"ve ever see (and I"ve lived in Romania!) and they didn't even have the decency to be cheap. So being the mature independent woman that I am I brought my Mommie with me to look in the town next door.
Sadly all the apartments were booked in the nice town, except for a really nice complex that's subsidized for low income familie3s. They said i make too much money. Ha! AI never thought i"d hear that. Anyway, we went back through the armybase and headed toward HInesville just to give it another chance. Whereby my mother of 58 years got her first speeding ticket. Adn what was really funny is that everyone is a novice at something. My mother, a woman of wisdom and strength didn't know what to do with herself. Whereas I have had many tickets and knew the procedure well. So still grumbing my mother drove us behind my future school and found a perfectly nice complex. We took a look and chose one of the newer units, which incidentally has the biggest bathroom I've ever had. It was that easy.
To reward our hard work Mom and I drove home and stopped at KFC for dinner. And just then Meg called with news. The coversation went something like this.
-So are you and Joe having a good time?
-Yes, and I just wanted to tell you that I have a new piece of jewelry.
-What kind?
-It's a diamond. (much giggling and squealing)
-Here's mom.
-Congratulations!oh, hold on, I'd like a 2 piece leg and thigh meal and chicken strips. Beth give me my wallet.
You'd think I was kidding but no, this joyous occasion was celebrated at the KFC drive-thru. So at the end of the day everyone got something. And now that I have a job I'm sure I"ll have interesting things to say a little more often than every 3 months.
