Ugh
Currently working at Kohls only again. Circuit City kept pissing me off - not really following my availability, stupid break schedules (why do I need an hour break when I'm schedule 9:45 - 3?!), that sort of thing. So now, back to Kohls while job hunting for a REAL job.
It's not going well, either. I'm not getting a lot of hours (at least, not nearly as many as I need) because they decided to make me a beauty associate ONLY. Which means, on average, three days a week. I try to pick up as many shifts as I can, and that helps, but still. I should be getting scheduled for more anyway - I'm trained EVERYWHERE WHY DO I ONLY GET BEAUTY SHIFTS?! Also, they're my least favorite because they require the least activity and I LIKE to do things. It's really frustrating.
At this point, I'm also still trying to pay off various credit cards (Kohls and Circuit City). I actually returned things to Kohls tonight because I don't know if I'll be able to afford to pay the bill as much as I'd like. :-P THAT'S crappy. So I just returned things, knocked the bill down a bit, and now I have less to pay. Furthermore, my student loans are harassing me. I paid ahead last month so TECHNICALLY I think I'm safe for this month, but I'll still pay a month's worth at least. I refuse to get behind THERE. In addition to that, I have rent to come up with somewhere, and my cell phone bill. To make matters worse, the gas prices are going crazy, and my car doesn't even want to start half the time. In fact, it has a nasty habit of stalling, usually immediately after I start it, but occasionally while I'm going about fifty down the road :-P. Piece of crap.
And now people want to go places and do things. The Renaissance Fair is coming up, and Dave and I were considering the Uncle Sam boat tours for our anniversary, and another friend wants to do the State Fair for her birthday. I can honestly say I have no flipping clue how I'm going to come up with the money for THOSE. :)
I am accepting donations. O:-)
Bahahaha. Actually, I'm not. I won't take help. :-P Although for my birthday I pretty much told my family I want/need cash. There are plenty of toys and things I want, but it's just not wise these days.
I'm in the process of finding a BETTER job, perhaps in nursing, which I've considered for soooo long. I won't start as an RN, naturally, but anything full time is better than what I'm doing. I'm even half considering waiting tables, which would be nice in a way due to tips, but I've never done it, and frankly, I don't like people enough. I'm looking around and feeling out my options, so we'll see. I need something better though, because 7.93 an hour at Kohls just isn't cutting it anymore :-P
