After hitting the pavement for a day, I found a job! I immediately hit it off with the girl interviewing me and I thought I was all set. There have been a few little problems though….
1) Remember how awesome it was that we found cell phone for $16? I now understand, you sometimes get what you pay for. My new boss has called me six times and every time I have to hang up and run back to the guest house because my cell phone is good for nothing except text messages.
2) The place I’m working doesn’t have the best reputation in town. I’m beginning to understand why. After receiving my schedule which included a solid ten hours of class next week, I get another phone call 10 minutes later explaining that all my classes have been cancelled.
So technically speaking I’m employed. But I’m not working any hours this week, nor am I working any next week, so we’ll see how this all ends up. I may just have to hit the pavement and see if I can find something a little more…. reliable. I need a lucky penny for a day or something. Or a lucky 1,000 dong bill. Whatever works.
