Getting dressed up...

[torismom14]

     I haven't been working since January.  My last job, I tended bar and wore jeans and a bar t-shirt.  Since being at home, I sometimes don't even get out of my pajamas!!!  I do telephone work from home, but I don't even have to comb my hair for that!  I think I was depressed with no job and no prospects!

         Last week I had a job interview. I went to Goodwill and bought a black and gray pinstriped designer sportcoat, for $6 and went to the Gap outlet, and found a pair of grey dress paints for $3.99.  My mother in law bought me a cute white sweater for Christmas.  I had a pair of black leather heels that someone game me a couple of years ago, that were too big.  I tried them on with knee socks, and lo and behold, they were really comfortable and I can walk really well in them. My pants cover them and you can't tell they are socks!  I dug out makeup and did my hair and went on my interview.  I got the job and they even told me that I am qualified for a manager's position!   I felt so good, I went to my sister's and she and her kids went on and on about how nice I looked!   It REALLY made me feel good! 

      So today, I went back to the Goodwill store and found me another outfit for work, a nice sportcoat and a pair of nice wool black dresspants.  I was so inspired, that I went though all my clothes and washed and ironed stuff that I haven't worn forever!

   Getting dressed up made me feel so much better!                 Marianne
