Flowers, movies, books and more

Well here's some good news. Now that I'm out on the job hunt with more activity there have been some favorable reviews of late. Firstly, It appears that there is no worry about at least something temporary that will probably help me make a couple hundred bucks. I have an orientation for a temporary driver for a flower shop for Valentine's Day. The orientation is on Thursday at 1 (which will cut into my time at the career fair, but it starts at 10 and I'll be there right away to make the most of it). Driving would only be on the 13th and 14th, but I won't mind if it's a way to make some extra money since I'm not making any at the moment.
Secondly, I turned in an application at the Kalamazoo 10 theater. The manager guy I spoke with asked me some questions and liked that I had cashiering and cleaning experience. Also, he said that after he checks his roster to see what kind of positions he has, he'll give me a call, but did say that if I don't get a call that it just means that things are slow and that I should apply again in the spring. He seemed pretty pleased with me after those couple of minutes, so I'm fairly hopefully, and won't mind if I don't get a call because I think I safely say that it is due to lack of available hours and not nearly as likely that it was something I did wrong, like bomb an interview (like I did on the phone with Target a few months ago).
I picked up an application for Barnes & Noble, which without knowing much about what I might be asked to do seems like a dream job to me. I love the store and I love books in general, and I am a writer, and envision having my own books there someday, so it would be pretty cool to work there. But we'll see.
I was going to fill out a Sears application online, but I'm in the library and it doesn't seem to want to navigate to the application, which now that I think about it might be a good thing, just in case, because I am on a public computer, and I would be providing some sensitive information. I'll just have to see if I can fight for some computer time on either Jim's or Jeff's computers tonight. It really stinks not having a working computer of my own right now, but I can handle it for the time being. I guess.
You may have noticed that my last few entries have not been aligned in the justified way, and perhaps there are some spelling errors. The computers I have used lately have not included the alignment tabs, and sometimes the spell checker doesn't pop up. After my accident on Jim's computer, I am not going to allow my entries to be erased because I wanted to make sure I spelled everything correctly. I can understand about the iMacs not having the alignment tabs and everything, but why not Jeff's computer? It's a PC after all. What's the freakin' deal?
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, there is a career fair on Thursday, and I'll be going. I got an email today that there are companies looking for people with my major. I don't know if any of them will want me, but more importantly, if any of them do, I wonder if that would require me to move away from Kalamazoo. I am beginning to wonder if my unwillingness to relocate is holding me back from taking the next step in my life. Truth be told, though, that I am trying to do my best to do the best work I can for God. It seems like my time with InterVarsity fulfills that, but what if I am stuck in a comfort zone? I have to take that into consideration. It will take time and prayer to figure it all out, but in the meantime, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be making some real money and finally be able to pay off my student loans and everything. A good credit score for Bob? Is that possible?
