employment possibilities

Looking around for employment again. Had an “interview” with a frame shop. I have only been trying to get into a frame shop for about 2 years now. I can’t get anyone to talk to me. I know what I am doing, I just do not have professional experience. That is the big hang-up. I have a feeling this one is going nowhere too—and it’s amazing how weak most people’s interview-giving skills are. This was little more than a walk around the shop and a dismissal. Sigh.

No matter, husband and I have decided to open up a framing shop in the gallery once we get it moved in the spring. This will give us time to find the equipment we need and for me to frame up several pieces in various styles as examples. Poo, I don’t need any stinking frame shop, I will start my own!

Dropping off a resume today with the City of Espanola—to create a database of all city addresses—do research on addresses & utilities (in the field) for their 911 database. Sounds fairly interesting....but there I go again...back in that world. We’ll see. Health insurance again, though.

Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante needs wait staff. I am totally not opposed to doing that work except it is one of our favorite places to eat. Working there would undoubtedly change that experience... I’m not approaching them just yet, though. It’s only 8 miles away, the closest work I can hope to find here. Espanola is 16 miles away, anything else I’m into a two-hour commute per day.

In other news a friend of ours from California will be moving up here to Truchas in a month’s time. I gave her a hand in renting an apartment in Tafoya’s giant adobe store. We’ll be a stone’s throw away. She’s very excited about it all. And now I get way extra smiles and waves from the crew down at the store.

We’re going into Espanola today, Leonardo finally has all his documentation together to obtain his New Mexico vehicle registration. This afternoon it’s the post-tour High Road Artisan’s pot-luck and meeting in Chamisal. I’ll take our giant vessel of pumpkin soup—an opportunity to socialize!
