Well, it didn't take long--I think all of about 48 hours, to be exact, before Joel found another job to replace the one he lost. Coincidentally enough, a local restaurant called him because they were doing some hiring and had his resume in the pile, and he just happened to need a job. He's now working at Hymann's Seafood. Hymann's Seafood was in Southern Living magazine in the 80's and was recognized as the "best Charleston restaurant" or "best seafood in the south" or something along those lines, and they've been playing off it ever since, drawing in all the tourists who get sucked into believing it's a current award. I can't judge too much, because I've never eaten there. That being said, I lived here for 4 years, ate in pretty much every restaurant that existed, and still haven't been there, so I think that says something as well. :) Here's the photo from their website, and not an inaccurate depiction of how the place looks in high tourist season:
Regardless, it pays Joel's bills, and that's all that matters. They were willing to work around his school schedule, so it worked out for him.
He also went and joined a gym today. He's paying a premium, because it's downtown, but it's a good, productive thing for him to be doing with his time, and might hopefully help him meet some people. Hopefully he doesn't become like the majority of people, who pay for gym memberships and never use them--not something he can afford.
