bad couple of days
I've been quiet for a while, because I've had a really bad couple of days. In rough chronilogical order:
1) The job hunt has reached a critical level. I've had one offer, but after the training day, I really don't think I'll be physically able to do it.
2) My mother has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. She and I are on the outs right now, and I've been trying to bury the hatchet and to repair things with her, but she has been somewhat resistant. Granted, they said that they found it early, but just in case, I don't know how to reconcile with her now, or if she will let me reconcile with her while there is still time.
3) I went to a training day with the job, but it is somethign that I really don't think I'll be able to do. Basically, they drop us off on street corners, and have us ask passers by to contribute to causes. (Currently Save the Children) We are not allowed to take breaks, or to eat or drink while working. The hours are 9-5, but htey only pay us for hte five hours on the street, not the time before or after. Secondly, if we do not get a certain number of people to contribute by giving a credit card number or a voided check, we can be fired once training is complete. Also, pay is mostly by the number of people we get to contribute. I really don't know what I'm going to do, but I really don't think I can do this job. I know that I would not give my credit card or bank info to a stranger, no matter, what the cause, and I don't know how to talk other people into doing it. Hopefully I will be able to find something else.
