I am really really broke and I need to make more money. I have job applications in at a bunch of places, but it's the holiday season and they're slow. All my internet applications turn up jobs in NYC and Connecticut, to which I will not commute. The cost in gas and sanity doesn't balance out, especially since the jobs are all wayyyyy over my qualifications. Dammit. This is how bad it is: I can't pay any bills this month. I'll be lucky if I can buy presents for more than my niece and nephew.
I don't like bitching about my life on LJ--drama always ensues. And I'm sure there are people who are THRILLED that I'm having such a hard time. Guess what? If you enjoy the suffering of any human being, you aren't one.
It sucks. I'm having more fun at Toys'R'Us than I've ever had at any other job. I guess I'm meant to either have fun or survive, not both. I'm so stressed out that I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm living on Rolaids. I keep getting headaches and my blood pressure is higher than it's ever been. I can hear my pulse when I put my head on a pillow. And my back, legs, and feet always hurt. And this job STILL is way better than any other I've had. Except I can't afford anything. Anything. At all.
Temp agency just reactivated me. They're pretty good about keeping me busy, but I want to keep the TRU job. I have NOTHING to do at night while I wait for Craig to come home. Plus, I can get benefits working even part-time at TRU, which I can't get temping.
Hope?
Apparently I will now be singing at the Swedish Fest at Grounds for Sculpture on December 10th. And I will look FABULOUS, because Swedish or no, I'm busting out my black velvet-and-brocade Italian garb. I shall be Dona Loretta, daughter of a Signore et Professore and avid student of the ancient Pagan ways.
So, come see me be purty and hear me sing.
