*slumps and sighs*
So...after having waited since late July, I wind up NOT getting the job at the music store after all. I don't know what to feel now...I've been banking on this for so long. I'm behind on bills. I owe people money. I fucking NEED a paycheck. And the manager at the music store pretty much had me feeling that this was a sure thing, it was in the bag--it was just a matter of waiting for the background check to finish.
But apparently, he also had been having exchanges with his boss in this time about whether or not they had room in the budget to hire someone new. He had gotten the okay back when I first applied...but his boss just recently went back over their books and changed his mind. So now no job for me there--not even a chance until the holiday season comes around. I can't wait that long. I need income. And this would have been the near-perfect job.
