i finally have a job interview, tomorrow at 1 p.m.!  this is my first lead in the past month and a half that i've been here in Tahlequah.  i only have until July 6th before i have to move out of the shelter.  i realize that i'm cutting it pretty close to my deadline, but this is the first glimmer of hope i've had on the job search.

as far as a social life here in this town, i've been able to attend a church on the edge of town, Carter Baptist Church; i've been going to the evening service on Sunday.  the people there are very nice and so far they're the only church i've visited.  a few days ago, while on the bus home, one of the passengers invited me to his church, Tahlequah Baptist.  and today while i was out job searching, i was invited to Blue Springs Baptist by the pastor himself; he said he might be able to introduce me to some people that can help me get a job or know who's hiring here in town.  so apparently i need to check out these other two churches before my time
is up at the shelter.
i've also been flirting with one of the bus drivers, Will.  not sure if that will lead to anything at the moment.  but the attention is nice, especially since i don't know anyone here in town.

i've also butted heads with a staff member here at the shelter; i spoke with her supervisor about the unnecessary & unprofessional remarks she has made to me, i was blown off since the supervisor didn't witness it herself.  this staff person is only temporary, and i only have a few weeks left here, so i'm praying my way through this situation until i leave.  i'm still considering video-recording any exchanges i have with this problem child, just to have some sort of documentation of her poor behavior.
