I got hold of my boss-to-be. She informed me she wanted me to start Wednesday, not Friday, and that I&#8217;m getting the full-time position. I&#8217;m scared. It&#8217;s all wrong. My sweet Sunshine cannot be left alone while I go off and do a full-time job. But we can&#8217;t make it without more income, and this is the first job site to hire me since 1998. <\/p>\n<p>I got a call from the guy doing the music festival in July. Everything is all wrong with him, and it&#8217;s not his fault. It&#8217;s not a music festival after all &#8212; the landowner wants to INSERT a music festival INTO THE MIDDLE OF A PAGAN GATHERING, and wants the music to end at 7 pm so they can have a ritual at 8.  This means they have 4 big acts, and I&#8217;m not one of those &#8212; they have to cram those 4 acts into 60 and 90-minute slots, and fit everyone else around that in 15- and 30-minute slots. <\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I got the phone call about this while I was still in mid-panic from the job, as well as some issues over my making breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m not doing well. I know some of you would like to have the little problems I have, but for me they&#8217;re not little at all.  Please send whatever energy, prayers, etc. you have available.<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<br \/>Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up this morning and called on the job.
