The Job Application, because why not?

I applied for a job today. Had to do it online, of course. I'm no stranger to the process, 

The only info they asked for was contact info and a resume. Which is good, I guess.

However, all of my application materials are stored on a laptop that was already old 7 years ago. I never transferred anything to the cloud or to a thumb drive.

I threw together a resume from scratch on Google docs, and that's what I submitted. It was not pretty, and I'm not proud of it.

But listen...

Earlier today, I was physically in the business that was hiring. Shopping. In jeans, t-shirt, no makeup, and my hair in a wind-whipped ponytail.

Very not polished.

As I paid for my purchases, the Manager wandered up, and I took the opportunity to ask about the job. Off the cuff. Unprepared.

Very not polished.

 She seemed to like me anyway. Said I had skills and qualities she needs.

So I'm thinking, if it's meant to be, it'll be. Everything about this process was unplanned and sloppy. If it works out, it would be a miracle.

But y'know, a month ago I took a wild chance, and I got to build a website for a yarn shop. 

This feels similar in a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" kind of way.

Not that I'm actively looking to leave my full-time job, but I wouldn't hate working somewhere where the manager seems to like me. 🤷‍♀️

It'll be fun to see how this plays out 🤞
