The Holidays.....
Well, so much for working with my dad. Apparently, after jumping through all those hoops, delays and everything else, THEN the company decided to tell the guy who was going to hire me that he can't, because my dad works there. Something about dad being a backup for the department I'd be working in, and his department working so closely with that department anyway. Gee, thanks. Could have told us that from the START. Smegheads.
Then, the husband told me this morning that the job opening where he is they are turning into a sales job, which sucks ass. Soo... so much for THAT one.
And I've just spent the last two hours submitting resumes and such, and calling the temp agencies to let them know I'm still active and such. Nothing there yet. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Hopefully I will get SOMEthing soon. I really don't want to have to try and sell off any of my original artwork if I don't have to. (Not that I think anyone would want it anyway, but it would still be an option.) I think I am going to try offering commissions first. See if that works. :) Wish me luck.
Beyond that, things are fairly tight, money-wise. It's going to make for an exceptionally lean christmas this year. It probably wouldn't be quite so bad if I didn't have a desperate need to keep some semblance of normalcy. I could cut out all extra spending (lunches, going out for food -fast food, but still- and other small purchases) and focus on spending money on ONLY Groceries, gas, and bills, but I think that would wear on me even worse than how tight things are now.
I know I can ask my parents for help, but I'm really trying not to have to. I'm hoping that I'll find a job soon, so we can get back on track, but if things keep going the way they are, i may have to see what help my parents can give.
It just sucks massively, and with the holidays and such, the chances of me finding something BEFORE christmas are slim, I think. But we'll see. I will do what I can to stay positive, and believe in myself and believe that things will work out for the best, and that i will get something in time to be able to get SOMETHING for a couple people for Christmas. That's pretty much all I CAN do right now anyway.
Soo... happy holidays, everyone. Catch ya later.
