A bad day.
I've had a bad day.
My morning started off okay. I went and I talked to my old manager at Things Remembered where I had a season job last Christmas as an Engraver. Right now she's hiring for part-time positions and also an assistant-manager. For sure she's going to hire me for part-time with the possibility of being the assistant manager. I'm not going to hold my breath. They check your credit score and mine is pretty awful I'm sure. I want the assistant manager spot because if I have to work retail I'd rather be that than a peon. The bad side being that if my background doesn't check out (credit, etc.) she can't hire me period.
I'm going to remain optimistic about the part time because the job that I have right now, well I'm lucky if I get ten hours a week. It's low paying and it's barely covering my insurance, phone bill, AOL and gas. I've about used all of my tax refund in paying off credit cards and my car tags.
I don't want to consider fast food or grocery stores. I really don't but at this point I've exhausted almost all of my resources. I've tried temp agencies and going back to retail. I couldn't get a really good job at a call center that processes student loans because I got sick at my last job and had to quit. They told me it looked as if I had attendance problems. I'm dealing with a lot of that.
Later in the afternoon I went to my grandmother's, gave her some pictures of Grant, ate some pizza and went to Dollar Store to look for some really, really cheap frames.
While at the Dollar Store I happened to run into someone who I thought was my friend even if we were coworkers at Lane Bryant. I waved and said hello. She scowled at me and looked like Draco's Mom in that she had something really smelly underneath her nose and walked away. I guess when you get fired for not preventing a few associates from stealing, well I guess I kind of deserve it.
I didn't get any frames. I just went home.
Which brings me to the evening and I cannot find my glasses. I need them to drive at night and to see things like movies. I've looked in my car. I've looked at my job. I've called the mall office and see if anyone's turned in a pair. I've looked in my room. I've looked in my house. I can't find them. I had them in my purse for when I went and saw TMNT (I was entertained) and now I have no idea where they are. I do not have the $150 dollars for glasses and a new prescription and it's on my license that I have to have them to drive.
Mom is not sympathetic. She's not going to lend me the money to get a new pair. And I'm irked with her anyway.
I told her what time I would be home. I was early. Before I got there she sent out her husband for food. Did I get anything? No. Bitches.
Right now, I'm feeling very, very anxious and not in the good way either.
