I found a job!
Jun. 2nd, 2005 10:09 pmGuess what? Civic Works in Baltimore just offered me a full-time Americorps VISTA position! I'd be doing plant nursery and volunteer management, so basically picking up extra plants from local greenhouses and distributing them to local gardeners to brighten up the inner city, writing grant proposals, and recruiting volunteers. Just two catches-one, it's an hour each way and that's a heck of a commute, and two, they might want me to start before I get back from a probable Africa trip in mid-July. But really, this position sounds fascinating and it's hard to pass up.
In other news, Lisa from Joseph A. Bank, my summer job to make enough money for a car for this hour commute, still hasn't called me back. I swear I've made 20 calls this week, and left at least 1/2 that many messages. It's getting a little frustrating. I could have started this week if she'd just get back to me.
In other more positive news, I ran a 14 second 2 mile PR this evening at the first of the Westminster Road Runners summer twilight series races. Finish time of 15:36. Next up is the Run with the Knights 5k on June 16th and the Baltimore Women's Classic on June 26th.

I feel your pain about the job thing...I'm kinda facing the same thing with my new boss still unable to find a location. It'll happen soon, I hope. It's time for me to make a real living.
I'm so pumped for you about the Americorps job.
