A job found me and then they flood in.

Well. I have taken a job. Part time. As an educator at the Lowell Observatory. They were also talking about my helping them out with their installations. I will get to learn about the telescopes, astronomy. I look forward to meeting intelligent, passionate people.
My Mom got me a gift certificate to J. Jill for Christmas. I haven't used it yet and it is burning a hole in my pocket (so to speak).
Because I won't be leaning over and crawling on tables, coloring or painting at this new job and because I want to start wearing more skirts, I have been trolling the pages of the J. Jill web site. These are the skirts that I have been dreaming about. And because I cannot afford all of them, I have to choose. I would like to get two and like the skirts in the order I have uploaded the photos. what do you think? There have not been too many comments to my posts lately...
anyone? They are basically the same skirt just slightly different. All are A-Line, all below the knee. I can picture them with my keen sandals. Dressing up here in Flag is very informal. Fleece has a special flair here, though honestly, I don't know that I will ever be sold on it.
Maybe I should choose an entire outfit.
I have to say, J. Jill presents their stuff better in the actual catalog than on the web. I can feel the situation and my part in it when I leaf through the catalog. Not so much over the web. They take different photos for the web than the print version. hm.
So. I have been putting this post together over the day. I have not gotten out of my P.J's to be honest. We were eating garlic popcorn, drinking wine and watching videos earlier when another call for a hob interview came through. Hm. That job would not call for the wearing of skirts or cater to my will to wear them.
Damn it.
This other job is full time, and working for a nursery. The job might have broader application in this job market but would not entail learning about telescopes or astronomy. Both would pay the same. I would like to go on the interview just the same.
And this, the third and still well liked skirt but bottom on the list. Who knows.
I have been shopping for my next haircut. I am not quite there, needing a bit more growth but I have not figured out what the cut is called or at least can't find it on the web. I asked a woman who had it and she said it was an asymmetrical wedge. I saw the perfect version of it last night but was not able to ask the woman what it was called and where she got it cut. Damn it again.
To venture away from simple fashion I am listening to Cordero, because JJ just sent me a bunch of music. She got to see them in person recently. I really like them. They started out here in Arizona.
