Grumble, Grumble

So I finally came to the conclusion that I was not going to be able to make a living doing Graphic Design. I'd applied for positions in Fairbanks, in Washington, and around the U.S. There seemed to be very few jobs available and tons of people applying. I moved to Homer for a period of emotional support and figured I'd likely end up working as a grocery bagger or something because the job market is especially slim here. While I did drop off my resume at the 4 places in town that actually use graphic designers I never expected anything to come through...

Well, I just accepted a position at one of the two local newspapers. I will be laying out the entire weekly newspaper. The job is full-time, pays well, and I'll be working with some Christian people. The fact that I was able to get a full-time graphic design position in Homer, of all places, is truly miraculous. I'm blown away by this gift from God. Even if the job isn't "all that," I will be making good money doing something I love. It's really humbling that God is looking out for me this much. God, you rock.

comment already

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion

Congradulations! I'm so happy for you.

woohoo! i'm glad that it worked out that way. i guess the hairdresser thing is on hold? are they willing to pay for classes that you can take (either long distance or seminars) such that you can get some sort of degree? all these questions and more...

The hairdresser thing is on hold, though I hope not permanently. It kinda depends how much I enjoy this job. Either way, it's obvious that God wants me in Homer right now, so in Homer I stay.

Welcome to our newspaper family !! Sorry I didn't reply to your e-mail I have a new goal not to be on the net on the weekend so I didn't check my mail. Hopefully you'll like working here, I'll try to be nice during your first week. !

Congratulations to you, that is to cool.

That's cool that you are going to be doing what you wanted to do and are obviously good at. In Homer of all places! Congratulations.

Danielle, I knew the e-mail timing was a chance so I wasn't counting on it. Even if I hate the place it's totally better than working at McDonald's.
