[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 90064, member: 2211"] difficult child got three job offers. One at Hallmark Cards she said no to because it would be lifting heavy boxes in the back room/store room and with her strange aches and pains, it wouldn't do well (I actually agree on this one - she was diagnosed with Fibromayalgia by the chiro, thought she doesn't know yet). Another was at Bath & Body Work, though not official yet so she's waiting for the call today. And lastly, the Sharper Image job, which she really really wants. For the life of me, I cannot picture her working there. It seems like such a 'guy store' and I've never EVER seen any women workers there. Am I being a sexist?? Haha. I asked difficult child what her starting hourly pay would be and if she told them she needed at least 30 hours per week. She just looked at me and walked away. Oops, I guess that translates into helicopter parenting...haha. So, she put out 10 applications so far and got 3 offers in 2 days. She is taking today off, she said, she she can be available for calls. omg. Tomorrow she's up and at 'em again. She will come to work with me and continue her job search. I just didn't have the strength to argue with her. And, to be honest, it's a real pita to bring her to work with me. Thanks for the well wishes. [/QUOTE]
