So I worked yesterday at the Francis Marion Hotel. I am only part-time on call. We had a wedding. I've worked millions of those at my last job (in Kalamazoo, Michigan) so they are easy enough. I was supposed to take care of the bridal party, which apparently does not mean the same thing it did in Michigan. I asked my boss, and the person in charge of wedding sales what the bride and groom's names were. No one knew. But they didn't seem to need me anyway. There were two wedding planners there, so that could have been part of it. But it was a little odd.

Weddings in Charleston are a big business. It is nothing like in Michigan. People here are hard-core. The Wedding Row is an amazing blog about all things wedding-related in the Charleston area. They feature real weddings which are great inspirations and a ton of great vendors.

I had attempted to get a job doing the event planning stuff, but there only seems to be plenty of unpaid internships. Which, I did, when I was in college. Now, with rent to pay, there is no room for unpaid work. That's super frustrating because there just aren't that many entry-level jobs available. I had seven months as a banquet manager after graduation and a year and a half of corporate internships that people don't like to count as experience.

I'm ranting....

Excited to see my parents in November, and missing my dog, Bella, a lot.

A friend from work finally got my desktop computer working. So I will finally be able to include photos when I post. Except now, my wireless keyboard isn't working.

Still trying to figure out this technology stuff.

My friend Amy sent me a package the other day with some candy and an Audrey Hepburn planner. Missing her too. So hard to not have these people around!

Praying about this job I should be hearing about this week. Fingers Crossed!
