I feel like all I do is post about my job situation lately, but ya know, it's kind of a big part of my life. Today was day two of officially being unemployed. I haven't heard from John. I went to a temp agency on Monday, hopefully that bring something about. They already wanted to put my resume through for one job but it was only $11.25/hour temp to hire. That means I would probably stay at that salary for at least 6-9 months. No way can I afford that kind of a pay cut. Plus the job didn't sound that interesting. So I did some hunting on websites myself today.... didn't really help much. There is a part time job that I might apply for, but the posting is already 12 days old... so we'll see. I wish there was a way to know whether the job was even still available before going through the trouble of tweaking my resume and writing a cover letter, those take effort! But this job says no phone calls and I think an email to ask if the job is still available is tacky. If I were an employer I wouldn't respond to it. I've also been putting some time into these online tests for the temp agency that prove that I can use Microsoft Office programs. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to do the tutorial and then 10-15 minutes for the test, and there are 6 of them. I've got one more program and a typing test. Hopefully I will do all of those tonight. I'm also going to hit up the gym in a few minutes (yay!!). Tomorrow will be spent mostly at the cabin so unfortunately I won't be doing much searching, but starting Thursday I'm going to do a little bit of creative job hunting (i.e. looking up wedding planners and calling them!) Unfortunately this means I am pretty much without a job all week, and the money I make working June 12-14 won't quite make it up. But I'm not going to panic! I'm just watching my spending VERY carefully. (okay, yes I bought the new 311 CD today and I got the deluxe version because of the road to 311 day video, but I was there!! and I've been looking forward to this CD for so long now! and I'm not doing to the concert. So it's totally justified. And I won't be spending any money tomorrow, and maybe not Thursday, so it's all good) I am SOOOOOOO excited for my Very Merry Unbirthday Prom Party on Friday! And thanks to Emily's dream I'm really hoping there's a tea party set up somewhere along the way that we can crash lol hmmmmmmmmmmm this is long... maybe I will have something more interesting to post tomorrow
