magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

stef got a job yesterday. at a brewpub downtown. i'm happy for her, for us, but that nagging sense of my own inadequacy now has a reason to begin creeping back in. i am getting closer to finding a job myself. our landlord, who is a project manager for residential renovations (?), told me he'd ask around and see if any of the architectural firms he works with are hiring. and today i took the drink-making test at the local bartending school and passed (only slight problems with garnishes and speed) and so will be able to get into their job placement files. and there are a few other leads (i was looking up the requirements for becoming a city of austin police officer the other day, not entirely ironically) so i should find myself employed soon enough.
