My job search is over

Mylotters, I'm happy to land a job as of this morning. I've received a call from my local school district that I've been hired as a substitute food service worker for the local high school and one elementary school that's closest to me to walk to, though I originally applied for a regular fixture two weeks ago. I had the interview last week at the high school. This job is perfect for me because I wanted a local job with a flexible schedule to fit my needs. I can walk to work--the high school is 10 minutes away, the elementary is 15 minutes away--except for bad weather/winter days I would need to call the bus. That was the chef's main concern on giving me the job, so he gave me the two closest schools (I wanted the high school). His idea was to start me out as a substitute and see how it works out. If it does, it become a permanent position to give me experience in the food service industry and earn me some money on the side, so I can move next summer. It's only less than part-time (2.5 hours/day), which would be more later on. And the pay is 11.68/hr for days I work for the schools by prepping or serving food for my shift at 10:30 Am-1 PM. It's not official yet since I have to wait to hear from HR and do a background check next week. I have final job interviews today, tomorrow, Friday, and next Thursday and Friday to finish it out. When it's official, I'll let you know. I also plan to land a seasonal job downtown sometime in October, so I can work weekends/nights/holidays, and afternoon, which is tricky to do with my bus schedule.
