Rant #whatever

So I'm actually trying with the networking thing for th job hunt. Y'know what everyone is saying? McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's. I know that. I've tried. "Have you tried lowering your standards?" Yes, I've tried. My standards are currently this: PAYCHECK.

I just don't know what to do anymore. I know I need mental help, but that is currently out of my price range. Almost everything is out of my price range. All I want to be able to do is freakin decide to get a burger without crawling to Dad for money.

I just... help?

HuffPo mentorship program

I just applied to the Huffington Post mentoring program. It pairs up applicants with women in STEM fields. If I get in, this would be so cool. I would have someone who understands my geekyness.

Job Search update

Did another round of looking for a job today. I think the place I applied has some possibility. The manager I spoke to told me to call back in 2 weeks if I hadn't called them.

This is the same place I got an actual interview with a year ago and that interview went well. Perhaps my luck is finally changing.

I hope so.

Little House on the Taiga

I've been fiddling with the setting for the novel I've been working on and I think I figured a bit of it out. Manifest Destiny in Czarist Russia for the fist bit. I mean Farrah is already farming at the beginning.

I can have actual court details for the inevitable showdown... This is gonna be awesome!

More to come as I plot it out.

Updates and Ramblings

Sorry for not updating in a while. Lots of crap for me = no time for you.

I hate my job that I have right now. I know I should be grateful that I even have a job but it is just so boring. And it's only eight bucks an hour.

I have been working at that pay rate for a while and, while it is easy to calculate my paycheck, I dislike the amount of hours I work. If only people would do lots of garage sales throughout the week or the boss would pay me more. neither is likely to happen.

Good news though: I will be getting my CNA licensure at the end of the month. Then I begin the big job hunt. should be interesting. The CNA jobs at Lee memorial pay at least 12$/hour to start off. I can't wait.

Job Hunting

Mom and I are off to go job hunting today in Orlando. Fun... She has been unemployed since February and I have been scraping by working one day a week.

I have a giant list of nursing homes that will pay me to get a my CNA license and Imma be working down that list. Ma has a interview for a bookkeeping job.

This should be interesting...
