Indeed, jobs are all up and running, and today is the highlight. Why you ask? Because after four interviews with principals, teachers, and the superintendent, Joy has a teaching job for next year. Believe me, the excitement is high. She's actually going to be teaching fourth grade at Anne Sullivan Elementary School, which is where Joy actually went to school when she was a child. I'm sure they're glad to have hired an alum.
This isn't the only job news, however. Joy is working this summer at Pottery Barn, possibly my favourite home-interiors store, even if it is a little pricey. As you all know, I was hired as a server at Regina's, which is a small family-owned Italian restaurant in down-town Arlington Heights. And yes, there is more. Yesterday I had a second interview and was hired as a barista at Starbucks. Oh yes, the excitement continues to build. Everyone knows that Starbucks is a great company to work for, it's all over the place (in case I ever need a job transfer), and I do love coffee shops (even if Starbucks is a little too corporate for me) and all that they mean (friendships, relaxation, rest, a good book or journal). Plus, every week I get a free pound of coffee. That's pretty dang sweet.
So my new motto is "Coffee by day, wine by night." I'm working on the Italian menu and wine-list and soon will be tasting all the coffees Starbucks has to offer. I couldn't be more delighted with these two jobs and can't wait for the stories I believe they will hold. Here we go Chicago!

Hey Bonnie...did you know you came up in the interview? They asked me why I wanted to work at Starbucks and I always think personal stories are good, so I talked about how you are a barista and love the coffee world. Heck, I think you're the main reason I even got a job. I'm so glad that silly wedding in December was moved. Now you can attend with my dear Usher Andrew. I told him and I'm telling you...Joy and I are really counting on you two to be a party unto yourselves on the dance floor. My Aussie Love, Stephen (partner number unknown)
