Be the Change

new job!

So, I start my new job tomorrow. It's an orientation, which means filling out paperwork and watching training videos for a few hours. After that, I'll start the actual training. The position is cashier at a local department store. I don't expect it to be very difficult, and it's part-time which works well for me. I'm just happy to get out of the house a little and to make some extra cash! (Plus I get an employee discount! Yeah!)

There's a local parade this time each year, celebrating St. Patrick's Day. It's a big deal (even though this is only the 5th annual one, I think) and the previous two years, I covered the parade for the newspaper. I found out today that former President Clinton will be participating in this year's parade which is Saturday! My sister and I are planning on going. For me, it would be strange to miss the parade after covering it a few times, plus I'm very curious about Mr. Clinton taking part. He's campaigning for Hillary from what I hear, but it seems strange to me that he'd choose our little community... the parade is pretty big, I guess. I just can't imagine all the drunk people (they're fun to interview, let me tell you! they all want their photos in the paper! ) watching a former president pass by... it's going to be strange... I can't wait!
