Search

Well, I'm pretty sure this will be my last week at Starbucks. My last official day is next Monday. I don't know if I'm actually going to be scheduled though.

My job search has not been fruitful thus far. I've been sending out resumes and applications like a crazy person. I'm just a little scared, because I've heard from employers that I applied to 3 or 4 months prior. I can't go that long without a job. And right now I'm a little hampered because I don't have my license yet (test this Friday!).

On a more positive note, I had a really amazing weekend. The Boy and I spent pretty much all of it together. Saturday we got breakfast and then picked some stuff up that we needed. I had to work, but afterwards we had dinner together and watched Futurama movies on the couch. Sunday, we went thrifting at a few different Goodwill locations. Then we got custard, came home, and watched TV. I know things have been really rough between us lately, but I've noticed that things only get this way when money is really tight. Which is a bit reassuring because I know that that's the most common trigger of fights among couples. And for us it's a huge stress because we live paycheck-to-paycheck, and now there are no paychecks. Ugh. I really need to find another job. I'm trying to find something in the "real job" category. However, Alterra is also hiring, and I would love to work there. And at this point, I'd take a job in retail or food. I really don't want to work in retail ever again. Food sort of frightens me, but if I'm serving I could make a lot in tips. Also, I need to call my credit card company and tell them that I've lost my job.

Life.
