well, I have a plan for Monday and Tuesday...given my personality and how I am, this is highly impressive people, just so you know (I barely have anything planned out for the next day!)

Monday:

hear back from Dundee...if I got the job, great, call Wegmans and get my shifts filled. if I did not get the job, plan B goes into action:

1. ask...

gee, think they're desperate? I e-mailed the Principal yesterday and today, without receiving anything, she wants to interview!

wish me luck!

so woke up today pretty bummed. the lack of a job and the piling debt I'm facing is not something to help my mood. seriously.

what really gets me is the fact that I am in part to blame for this. if I did this or did that, then things would be different. I'm the type that always replays scenarios in my head...and I've been...

All those gov jobs are is recruiters trying to meet their quotas.

You really should look into being a spook ... or working for them in your field smile

cart racks where blown sideways. all sorts of fun stuff!

driving home...yeah, there were branches blown down. one person said she watched a power line snap. yay for the remnants of...

so, the job search is still going on. I plan on sending out a resume and cover letter to a local agency....school based counselor. I figure that having a Masters in Counseling and Masters in School Counseling should help me qualify.

I also talked to a security guard at Wegmans last night. he is from a military background, he was in the Armed Services as...

Good luck with your search! I hope you find something that is just right for you! Keep focusing on what you most want/need and it will find its way to you. kiss

Looking for jobs on a military base is a great idea, it would pay well I bet! I watched two and a half men today, I think I am the guy Charlie Sheen play, I hope I am not the other guy.

so 2 things...

last night, working. cashier. flying along, a girl comes through chatting on her cell phone. pays by Credit, I hit the button, then she goes "Oh, I have coupons...is it too late?"

yes....so I tell her that if she goes to the Service Desk, they'll take care of everything.

the next customer in line goes "And if you weren't so busy talking...

moving is good - i myself am a huge fan of it. i'm not so sure about alaska though. they may have deals in the state for teachers to be reimbursed for relocation. always worth a shot.

and i iz sober as well. good thing eh?
nina_kova:
yah - bittersweet indeed...blech. it's been a long day. if you head this way, i will definitely be able to give you some information. it's actually pretty cheap in terms of a city for rents, etc. i kind of like it lately. i had yummy coffee and chat with a friend tonight. this made me like where i live. kiss

you make a lot of sense my dear. i think the thing i am figuring out, i picked up a drink mentally a long time before i picked up a drink. ehhh - just babbling. maybe not the titanic, but it feels pretty damned close right about now.

and i'm still thinking about you and the job situation and keeping my fingers crossed! kiss
miss_cellophane:
Gah those sleeping patterns are crazy!

Have you heard anything back from any jobs that you have applied for? Other than - " oh, our funding is cut"?

well, for the few of you keeping up, here's the latest on my car:

last night, filled the transmission up with fluid. no noticeable leaks.

drove it to work (20 minute to 30 hour drive). mostly highway driving, some hills. no problems shifting gears (up or down).

before I left work this morning, checked the levels, still good.

drove home, again, no problems with shifting....

well, my transmission side cover is replaced. the outside was rusted and I could see where fluid was leaking out. however, the inside was still good (so nothing leaked through).

how great will the seal be? okay....I got most of the rust off.

now I'm just low on transmission fluid (it leaked out big time). its sitting in a bucket...figure 2 or 3 pints low!...

ahh, I so love a screwed up sleep schedule. especially one fueled by work.

here's what my weekends are like now:

work Friday night from 11:30 PM to 8:00-ish AM (depending on when I get my lunch break).

work Saturday night from 11:30 PM to 8:00-ish AM again.

and then work Sunday from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM pushing carts.

yup, 10 hours between shifts....
