Stuff
I'm on the job hunt. I need to find some full-time work, hopefully in retail or customer service of some sort, since that's what I know how to do. I'm trying not to worry about it too much, but it's pretty much constantly on my mind these days. I'm going out on Thursday and Friday with a bunch of resumes, and I'm gonna explore our new area and see if I can at least land an interview.
Realistically, I can still live off what I have money-wise for the next week or two. I bought $83 worth of groceries yesterday, which gives me enough food to tide me over for a while. I went out to a credit union today and deposited my GST cheque, which covers my Dell payment for this month. I have $60 for tomorrow (see later in the post), which leaves me with about $20 to buy phone minutes with. I get my last pay from Scholar's next Friday, so with enough food to keep me full and nothing I'm desperately needing, I should be fine until I get a job.
My next big expense would be my May rent, but my mom has said that she'll lend me the money for it because she knows that I'm still looking for a job. So that's good.
I went to Wal-Mart today to grab something, and I asked them for an employment application, but the woman at customer service wouldn't give me one because she said that they weren't hiring right now. What's with that? I mean, Wal-Mart is pretty much constantly hiring, and not even giving me an application? Rude! I'll try and get one next time I'm in there, or just bring in my resume. I really don't want to go back to Wal-Mart, but if worse comes to worse, I would.
Anyway, the job thing is the big thing on my mind right now. I'll be bugging about it until I find one, but that's just my way.
---------------------------------
Tomorrow is a good day! The roommates, Vas and I are going to Toronto to visit the Royal Ontario Museum and then go see Flight of the Conchords! I'm pretty excited. I hope it's a good show.
I'm a little annoyed, though, because today I was cleaning out my left ear and I managed to plug it something fierce. I can't really hear out of it at all. I bought some over-the-counter ear wax removal drops, which haven't really helped yet, but you're allowed to use them for three days, so we'll see how I feel on Thursday, and if it hasn't gotten any better, I may have to head over to the walk-in clinic to get it flushed. It's not painful at all, just really annoying. It'll suck for the concert tomorrow because I won't be able to hear as much as I would like. :(
