Day one and all's well......

Did I mention that my beautiful daughter got a job? She did!

Actually....she has no problem getting a job -- the problem is that she becomes disenchanted or bored all too quickly and quits. Another problem is that she's decided she doesn't like the field for which her Master's degree and doctoral work has prepared her. I told her to get some work experience in the field before she started graduate school, but nooooooooooooooooo.

After moving to NC, she spent several futile months interviewing for jobs in criminal justice (she was either over-qualified or lacked work experience), so she decided to apply for a job in her undergraduate field. And....she was offered (and accepted) the first one she applied for. Go figure! It might have helped that her boss graduated from the same program at the same university in MS. Small world.

She started Monday and, so far -- so good. It sounds very promising and quite challenging, and she's working in a clean lab instead of a prison or jail or whatever. Her dad is very proud of her -- he insisted she get her undergraduate degree in a hard science field. It seems he was right. He'll never let her forget it....
