Graduation Eve....

Believe it or not my school ad visor the day of the dinner e mails me with a possible interview for a handbag company who needs a graphic person. I was so happy. It was also downtown and not only that but the bus that goes past my house drops me off 3 blocks from the building. The fashion district downtown is so amazing, it's so busy and there are so many shops and different points of view. All the old theaters down there are so inspiring. I went into the market center building which is like a 12 story office building but instead of offices there are all stores with clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry all separated by market. Like this is men's, women's, children's etc. I went to the accessories floor and it was like walking through heaven. So many gorgeous bags, and jewelry. I got to my area and the boss comes out to greet me and he's GORGEOUS! Distractingly so. I really had to work hard to focus. I showed him my website and my portfolio. He showed me the kind of work I would be doing. I have a take home test to complete. But the only thing was they work 7 days a week. I thought he was joking. He in fact was not. I want my first design job, but I want to enjoy my life too. I feel like a brat if I don't take it but I feel like it would be a mistake to take it  knowing I never get a day off. I'm trying to get into a relationship and get serious with someone. How will I ever if I never have a day off? Besides my boss will be looking all good, and I won't have any free time....recipe for total and complete disaster and unhappiness. I love where the job is located. It's my favorite area, plus I want to move to the arts district a few blocks from there. I just am really torn.

Truth be told, I kind of wanted to pick up a job I wouldn't feel guilty quitting after a few months. I wanted to get enough money to get my on line businesses up and running and samples made of my handbags. I feel like this job wouldn't be one of those. I couldn't bear that gorgeous man being mad at me.

Tomorrow is graduation. I took the zipper out of the robe and flipped it upside down. I am still not that jazzed about going since I'm going to be there alone anyway. It's going to take everything I have to go through with it. I didn't find out absolutely that the robes were black. But if they aren't I guess I'll be going home. I just don't want everyone looking at me. But it's a milestone in my life I suppose even if I am going it alone.
