Workables

As promised, a blog post NOT entirely about my cat.

I'm still looking for job #3. It would be ideal to find something full time and stable, but the way the economy is and my lack of a skill set, it probably won't go down that way. So I'm looking for another job in, sigh, retail. I really want to work at a pet store though. I applied at PetSmart, but the internet cut out at the last second, and I lost 50 mins of work. And for some reason their internet application only supports up to Windows XP and IE. So everyone with a Mac or a new PC is essentially excluded. Thank goodness my mom's computer runs XP and she uses IE.

I haven't been getting many hours at either job, and for two weeks at both jobs I made less than $300, cumulatively. That's not enough for me to live on. That isn't even enough to pay the rent and bills and manage to feed myself. I feel like such a mooch, but my mom has paid for my groceries for the last month and a half. I have a feeling things will look up once The Boy starts getting paychecks again. He lost his unemployment, so for a while there it was 100% my income, which wasn't really anything.

I would really like to start paying down debt and start saving up for possibly going to vet school. Right now though, my biggest financial goal is trying to figure out how to pay rent and bills for this (and last) month.

So to say the least, I really need another job. I'm going to redo that application, because I know they're hiring at PetSmart, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm good at retail and I've got a ton of experiance. Sigh.
