No Longer a Bum!
Guess who has a job...? Does this mean I can't stay up til 3 and sleep til noon anymore? Well, that's growing up for you.I am working for a company called High Touch High Tech. Basically, I go to elementary schools as a scientist and run interactive science workshops for children. It meets one of their grade's required science learning outcomes in a fun, tangible way. I especially was drawn to this job because I think it is a great way to empower kids with scientific knowledge, and spark their interest. I also think it will be cool to show them that young women are scientists too (it's funny how that stereotype hasn't been completely dissolved yet!).
My bosses seem really nice and approachable, and the job appears to be a good fit for me. It will be nice to put my science background to use (even though I am not exactly doing microbiology...no growing cell cultures or extracting DNA, boo). I have missed working with kids though! The dairy job offers I have been hoping for haven't exactly been pouring in, so I may just end up volunteering to milk on weekends. I am still searching for a second job. One may have found me. I have a second interview at Starbuck's on Sunday, and also a Sunday interview for this PT job I really really really want at a lab. Ideally, I would love to do the teaching job daytime 4 times a week and the lab job evenings or early mornings several times a week. Starbucks is a company I have wanted to work for since I could work, but it does pay less, and I would like to be in a place that would look better for vet school and on my resume. As a uni-grad approaching her mid-twenties it's also time to get out of the service industry (not saying this in a prideful way, but in reality I need to get out of my comfort zone).
So, that's a little update for ya. Yay for me and thanks be to JC!

whoa, cool! scientist lady, can you come to myyyy schooool? and they do birthday parties too! how exciting :)
How totally cool is your job! I love the name of the company. It must feel good to be done with unemployment -- feeling antsy and guilty for not being a 'contributing member of society.' Such silliness. I hope you have tonnes of fun with the kids!
Tankya Dils. The name of the company has been causing a few chuckles bc SOME people I have talked to have their minds in the gutter, haha.
Both babies are sleeping and with so much free time on my hands, I didn't know what to do with myself so thought, I should visit some blogs and am so glad that I visited yours-- congrats on your job find! You will be perfect for the job-- the kids will love you. :-) I wish I had someone fun like you come into my classes when I was a kid. Hey, could I hire you to perform at Caleb's next birthday? :-)
