a week's respite from classes and work = more blog time
yes, i am still alive. barely though, after dealing with last week.
today it became apparent to me that i needed to either take a second job or find a new one entirely. after looking over my savings after working all summer i decided that much as i love working at the school library, it's just not cutting it for hours and it's only going to get much worse in the fall when i need to share the schedule with the other student workers. so unless i want to be delegated to hitchhiking in europe next spring, i decided it had no time to waste in hunting for alternate income sources.
and oddly, i found them. a couple of places in town here are hiring, which surprises the hell out of me as this time last year i was so desperate to find something it was killing me. not that i'm complaining or anything. but the oddest thing of all is when i started talking to a lady offhand at the salvation army, and it turned out that she was looking to hire a full-time nanny for her 3 kids for pretty much the entire time leading up when i leave for france. it solves the dilemma i was worried about concerning getting a job for only a few months (my current devious plan is just not tell anyone, but i'm a little nervous that might get problematic when it comes to be quitting time. on the other hand, quitting last minute on a lame job making subs isn't as horrid as quitting something a position that's little more involved). i have a couple questions yet so i'm trying not to get too excited, but i'm formally interviewing early next week so we'll see what pans out.
for the meantime...my guy is visiting for the weekend and i can look forward to seeing dominonermandi in two days. and it is quite indescribable how nice it feels to be able to sit around and read novels for fun without feeling guilty.
