Well today has been fun ,as ever. Note the ever present hint of sarcasm all the way throughout this entry..Hee hee. I seriously despise having NOTHING to do all day. I should never have quit my stupid underpaid job, because now I have to endure all these lovely mornings of “flog it”, “loose woman” and “trisha”. And when you start becoming interested in topics such as “how to take control of your slobby husband”, unfortunately you know you’ve lost it. And I only have £40 to last me until I get a new job, and get paid for that new job. RRR, how annoying. And it costs me £4 to come into Edinburgh everyday, so basically I will be hibernating for sometime..
I have this stupid dialemma, that I want a job near the royal mile for the festival’s sake, but so far Ive only applied to Starbucks (where apparently the pay is v. good), but they weren’t even advertising,and they have not yet got back to me.(Although I only applied last Thursday!)…Is all hope lost?
However, I reckon they may only want “festival” staff, so then I’d have to wait a month or so without any money…not good. But if I get another job I cant just quit after a few weeks..unless it’s a “cash in hand” job where I could just never return after getting my money. Only problem is I can’t er, find any “cash in hand” jobs so to speak..Does anyone know if those coffee stalls pay cash in hand? Coz the one on Princess Street was advertising , except I’d have to put up with these two mental foreigners all day.. But surely there you could do a runner after a month or so?There is also something really nice and comforting about the stalls, they just seem so sweet and old fashioned…aww.Dear…
I did have a clever thought though to save a lot of worry, and waiting around ..
(RUTH , this could apply to you!) Some “kind” soul could go into the r.mile Starbucks, and ask for me if there is any jobs just now , or if they only want people for the festival period-
if they say that we should try “another” star bucks you then say “well, they all told me the royal mile would be looking for staff”
This way I’ll know if it was all a waste of time or not….And therefore be VERY angry..
So, if anyone is passing that way, please, think of me troubled and blue ,and go in and ask, and I shall be eternally grateful.
Also , if anyone knows of any summer jobs ( and don’t hog them all now), would you be so kind as to awake the little frodo from her cave , and tell her it’s time to face the big wide world once more.
Cheers Queers. x
