A hiatus of sorts

Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines hiatus as

Main Entry: hi·a·tus
Pronunciation: hI-'A-t&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from hiare to yawn -- more at YAWN
1 a : a break in or as if in a material object : GAP hiatus between the theory and the practice of the party -- J. G. Colton> b : a gap or passage in an anatomical part or organ
2 a : an interruption in time or continuity : BREAK; especially : a period when something (as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted hiatus from writing> b : the occurrence of two vowel sounds without pause or intervening consonantal sound

For this entry I'm going to use hiatus as defined in 2a.

The job fair event of a few weeks ago, as painful as it was, did turn out well. I filled out an application online and received a phone call from the company a few days later. A non-solicited phone call, nonetheless. This all coming after the recruiter specifically said, "Call us, don't wait for us to call you." Anyway. I went in to this very business like building only about 10 minutes away from home after waking up way too late on Friday and was hired for some job I would never consider doing ever before by 5 pm that evening. I'll be selling telecommunication services for $10 an hour plus commission starting next Monday.

As I got off the phone with the man from HR who helped me get the job at this place, I thought I can take a break from being unemployed, something like an actor does while in between taping seasons, a hiatus while I look for something that is more geared towards what I really want to do.
