The List of Happenings

[jengt]

There were several things I wanted to talk about in this post, several things that don't relate at all to each other. So I'll just make a list.

1. I hit a deer Sunday night. It's the first time it's happened to me. Really, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. In the newspaper, in the police records section, sixteen car-deer accidents were reported

Oh God, please not Walmart.

Is Walmart really bad?

Read Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. She writes a whole chapter about working there. You deserve better.

I will have to read it. The thing is, around here, jobs are SO scarce. Like, the help wanted section in the newspaper lists only about six-eight jobs a day and half of those are RNs or special trades jobs. It sucks. I guess I'll go to the interview and see what happens, since it's already scheduled. But I'll root for the bank job!

Ah. Scarcity makes a difference. No one's hiring seasonal help? That's suprising.

Good luck either way!

There's no such thing as "seasonal" around here in the winter! We're a tourist town and once it starts getting cold, it's DEAD. It's a bum deal, but if I absolutely have to, I can work at Walmart until I find something better.

Thanks for the luck!

I'm such a liar! The Walmart job IS seasonal, but they didn't tell me that until I got to the interview.
