well, I swore to myself that I'd have a job of some sort by the end of the week if I could.
Surprise surprise, I may actually make that deadline!

I swung by the local strip mall on my way home (actually a quaint little thing as we're in the middle of nowhere) and there's a sign on the state store (aka wine and spirits shoppe, called state stores in PA because alcohol is state controlled) saying that they're looking for part time help.
So I go in, figuring what the heck, at least it'll be minimum wage...
talk to the guy in there who first asks me if I'm looking for part or full time.
score, maybe I can get a full time crap job till I can find something real in networking as I'd like to.
So I say full time, and he says "ok, here's an application and a phone number. ask for xxx or xxx and tell them you want to come in for an interview. You'll be hired on the spot. and we just got a raise in wages that goes into effect next week, starting will be $10 an hour with full state benefits."
Mega score!
A totally doable job with benefits and a livable salary!
So I call the place, lady's a bimbo, but I should get a call back tomorrow and hopefully go in for an interview thingy tomorrow as well.
Not the greatest job ever, naturally, but it has great benefits (full medical, dental, etc.) if I end up there long enough to qualify for them. heh.

I'm still hoping to land a real job, but with the market the way it is, I may be in this one longer than I'd like. :o(
but it's a job and I have bills to be paying.

So a little bit of good news in my life.

Oh, I'm done with classes too but that hasn't sunk in yet.

Your mood is mixed, and soon the drinks will be as well.

just don't become my dad. He is a manager in the state stores system and has been my whole life and hates it. benefits are worth it, just don;t get sucked in......
