After a crazy morning, I went to a temp/permanent employment agency in Libertyville. The lady, Nancy, was super nice and was pretty positive she could place me. I'm going to go back there tomorrow at 11AM to take the proficiency tests and then I might have an interview afterwards.
Before that, I need to go to Wal-Mart and get a prepaid phone so I can swap out sim cards since my phone keeps dying. Even after I traded batteries with the mysterious Nokia, it died randomly with two bars left. Nothing's ever easy.
I'm feeling more and more guilty about constantly using my mom's car. She's been recovering from her surgery so it hasn't been too much of an issue, but she's been able to drive for a while now and I feel bad. I also feel bad because she's going to have to drive me to/from work until I manage to buy a car. But I have the money saved up, so it shouldn't take too long (hopefully).
I spent the evening at Grandma's. I haven't been there as much as I'd like, but I want to be able to be in ten different places at once and I have to realize, eventually, that it's impossible. Once I have my own car, though, I don't have to worry about having to pick up Eric or if Mom needs her car, so I can stay longer.
I'm glad the election crap will be over after tomorrow. Three weeks of negative TV and radio ads, phone calls, and letters is enough to make anyone lose their faith in politics/humanity, and there was precious little faith to begin with. What a waste of money. Campaigns are such bull anyway. I am, however, looking forward to the joint Daily Show/Colbert Report live coverage. It's the silver lining.
I'm so wiped. Off to bed.
