pegkerrToday was Fiona's first day working for an honest-to-gosh EMPLOYER. She worked a four hour shift at Dreamhaven.
I asked her how it went, and she laughed. "He actually forgot he told me to come in today until I showed up."
Put your hands over your hearts, everyone, and wish her well on her first day of formal gainful employment (if you don't count babysitting gigs). She has begun today the long process of starting to acquire Social Security benefits. (Which, ahem, she might never see.)
She has another gig cutting the lawn at church this summer. We're still waiting to hear back on the library job. If that doesn't pan out, she'll try to fill out the other open days in her schedule with some nearby coffee shop.
In other news, Rob had a job interview today for that job he really wants. As in, he really REALLY wants. He thinks it went well, and hopefully he'll hear soon that he made the cut for the next round.
Also our beloved birthday portrait photographer managed to land a job at one of the other stores in the metro area that didn't close (he's at Eden Prairie,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
