Job Thoughts
Just got word of an entry-level web design job up in saratoga that I think I'm qualified for. With a car it's a pretty reasonable 30 minutes. Not perfect of course but I'd just be happy to have a job. The bus schedule to saratoga is about 2 hours, however, and might not run early enough for me to get there by opening. But I think I have a plan.
My parents told me that once I get my license, my dad was considering giving me his car. Its an old but dependable used car, perfect for me since I don't care and it would be cheap to insure. I want to ask my parents to bring up the car asap. If I get the job, I'll tell them I can start in 2-3 weeks. In that time, I'd use the car with whoever's around thats over 21 to practice driving until I feel ready to get my license. I think the major reason I'm having trouble getting practice time in is that people are (understandably) reluctant to let me drive their cars. If I had my own, however, its no risk to them. Once I have the car, I can easily get the license, and I can more easily get a job. Then I'll finally be a realistic person. Also, get a better haircut, but thats beside the point.
