Finally got a job. Nothing glamorous. I basically do maintenance for this company that owns several large apartment buildings in Buffalo. A normal day is quite easy BUT since one of my winter duties is snow removal and this is January and this is Buffalo...woah. Ever shoveled snow for 5 or 6 hours in a day? I'm getting back into shape- crash course style. It is not too bad though. $11 an hour, which for a shit job is pretty decent. Also full benefits (medical dental vision) which is very nice. $25 a week for gas because you have to drive between sites. However, this is no problem, since the HQ is like 3 blocks away from my apartment and all the apartments are on the west side of B-lo. I can even come home for my hour lunch, which means rather than spending $5 on a sub or Mighty Taco or something, I can come home and eat a sandwich or whatever, so that saves even more money.
While it is not as easy as the Nursing Home (no job ever will be) it is ok and it will pay the bills. I was starting to run out of money, so I am relieved.
