Day 48 - Glimmer in the gloom
Yes, I've actually been somewhat counting the days since I arrived here in Pittsburgh. I've been wanting to make entries like "day blah.. day blah blah.. day blahety blah blaaah" since I arrived. Well anyways, now I have, whoo!
Alright, so Tuesday I went on a walk to find more places to apply to, since Burger King(having been the last place I'd worked for) did not seem interested, and computery-jobs all require work experience I don't have and can't get. Found a little grocery store a little ways away, applied(terribly short app), and had an interview right ther. Well, Wednesday was my birthday, was a bit depressed during it, not so much because of not doing something special or getting presents, but mostly the finances and all my credit lines going to hell in a bank basket, and missing people and past independence more lately. Well, today I got a call at 11am asking if I still wanted a job, and I started working soon as I got there today.
It's not much, honestly I don't even know how much I'll make per hour, and it'll only be part-time with seeming little chance of full. But it's something, and I can start paying things places to stop calling me now, heh.
Also I'm slowly working on revamping my website from the ground up, and I intend to start doing some small programming projects. I might just try and make some simple games and throw them out for the sharks to get into things a bit before I get to Digipen, so by the time I finish there, I already have a strong foothold. But that's all future goals, main thing right now is to repair finances and try and regain some sense of independence and stability.
