I never thought I would be saying this, but I really don't want to be laid off anymore. I like planning, I like consistency, I like having something steady in my life. Now that I'm being laid off, all of that is out the window. I'm going to be out of a job as of May 12th (maybe sooner if they decide I'm not needed) and I have nothing lined up. It truly wouldn't matter if I weren't in collosal debt and if I weren't trying to save up money for a car, but I'm vehicle-less and in the negative, so I can't afford to be unemployed for too long.
I've actually already found a job as a cashier for "The Daily", a casual restaurant near Downtown Miami, but the pay is only $8 an hour ( Gross!) plus tips (I've been in there and I don't recall there being a plethora of tips), which is not enough. Granted, the manager told me I'd be able to work up to 40 hours if I'd like... but I'm going to hold off. Working there would just be a downgrade. While I'm positive that I can definitely find a job that pays more, I don't know if I can do it within a week... but I'm gonna keep searching.
On a lighter note, I've really been falling into a nice work out rhythm. Last week, I went to the gym almost everyday. On Friday, I actually went to the gym twice (Yoga in the morning and cycling in the afternoon). I'm still not seeing the results that I want, but I know it's because I've been eating a crap load of food lately. I'm seriously done with fad dieting, so I'm just going to attempt to eliminate some of the unhealthier foods from my diet until I get down to a stable weight.
On an even lighter note, I went on a date this past Saturday. It was absolutely horrendous. Perhaps the worst date in all of date history. However, we went to this awesome Sushi restaurant near Sunny Isles and now I want to go there everyday. That is all.
