So remeber that vow of lentation I took to assit my own personal failing economy? Well it seems that God has handed me a stimulus, in the form of an amazing babysitting opperitunity with way too many perks. Wait, Let me rewind here...so I have been on the job hunt for a minute, trying to find another source of income. With the job market being so terrible right now, I was at my wits end and was THIS CLOSE to swallowing my pride and returning the my loathed high school job at Baskin Robbins. (I hated...repeat HATED so many things about that place, so believe me going back was not something I EVER EVER EVER wanted to resort too). THE DAY that I finally decided to call ol' steve chai from BR, I got a call from a guy who found me on Care.com (a childcare networking site) who had two 4 year old twin girls and needed a nanny every sunday all the way through summer...paying 30 fucking dollars an hour. Mind you, my babysitting rate is 12 per hour. I went over to interview and these people live in a filthy rich neighborhood in the peidmont hills, where everyhouse looks like a castle and every driveyway has a Benz, Beamer, Lexus or equivilant. I snagged the job and had my first day today. As challenging as it was (4 year olds are quite tiring), it is perfect. The whole situation, and truley a blessing from Mr. Man upstairs. I wore my Obama shirt to work today and then found out that the father and his partner (who are lawyers I believe) are very politically active and have actually MET THE MAN HIMSELF!!!! I am babysitting for a man who has been in the physical presence of fucking Barack Obama. So thank you Barack, God, and this wonderful family for handing me such an amazing opperitunity at my very own New Deal. I will be out of debt in NO TIME :]
So kids, If I can share anything that I have learned with you it would be this; fate is in full force and god helps thoes that help themselves. As I witnessed the physical embodiment of a fateful past mistake this week (with way too much ammo behind it) I was humbled by the idea of where I was, where I am going, and how I have gotten myself there :]
