August - 2003
I decided to start adding a journal element to the page. Unfortunately the end of the month is here and I am still not adequately employed. I have begun doing some mystery shopping and answering surveys online, but when you have no money to take a shopping trip, it's hard to accept an assignment. I went to the employment office and they will not let me put the resume from my disk onto their computer in the resume service. I will have to retype the whole thing!!

5 - took some old clothes and trash to the flea market and made $40.oo. Unfortunately, I'm gonna need brakes for the care so it won't last long. Next week I will go back, cause I have alot of old clothes and stuff, but I'm packing a lunch next week, I was hungry for a while waiting for people to buy stuff...
18 - Sigh. Nothing new. I posted (again) a resume on Monster and got no bites other than insurance sales positions. I don't need another commission position. I got an interview for a management position at McDonalds here, but it didn't go to well in my opinion, the vibes weren't there.
30 - YEAH!! I got a job in a call center, long term temporary. Better than sitting at home and going to the flea market and mowing lawns. You know I applied at that place over a year ago...

8 - Well, midweek and I am really going crazy, I had to suck on throat drops all day today to keep from sounding like a frog on the phone. It's almost full time, but there still is no savings. I got my brakes done, and a tune up last paycheck.
17 - The call center said the job would be over in late November. That reeks, now I have to save for Christmas early so the kids will have something this year under the tree.
23 - Cut about 4 inches off my hair. My perm from last year is grown out and it looks pitiful. This way if I have an interveiw I will at least look decent.

4 - I have 3 more weeks at the temp job, just replaced some more parts in the car and got the kid's pictures taken so I can give them to the grandparents for Christmas. Hemmed up my skirt again for the 6th time. I should get another, black is such an important wardrobe colour.
4 - Again!! Hahahahaha!!! I got another temp job to take the place of the other one, it's in a copying plant, but it's money. Now I won't have to wait between positions and have weeks with no money. I ordered the information for the school. Yeah, the donations are kinda sparse, but I feel like I have to take the plunge and now with the jobs, I will not starve. I'll just have to go part time rather than full time.
