If only I could find another job. This week I'm down to two days of work, and I've got company coming in this Saturday. Fortunately, she knows my current situation and isn't expecting to go out and live extravagantly, but at the same time, it's going to really suck having to entertain on negative money.

I have, however, spoken to my manager and she knows that I need as many hours as possible, whether or not I have company here. And she's more than willing to help me out and get me anything she can. But I work in the camping department of a nationwide retail chain. And camping isn't very much in style during the autumn. The hunting department is getting lots of hours, but I haven't taken the federal tests to sell guns, and they have enough people up there already, so there's really no way I can get on up there with enough time to get me out of the hole. I am looking for other jobs in the area, it's hard. Most people are hiring for seasonal, and as soon as we get our Winter Wonderland set up (within the first week of November), our department is going to be staffing a lot of it, so I know I'll have more hours. And yes, I could cut back to lower hours there if I find a full time job somewhere else, but it's hard to FIND because it's coming up on the holidays and nobody wants to commit to full time employment.

I'm looking on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com, hopefully I'll find something and cut back to less hours at my current job. It's just hard to find a full-time job listing that doesn't require previous experience and has set hours.

I would have gone to the bank today, but the VP, the only person who can manage the overdraft charges, wasn't there. So I have to go back tomorrow morning. Luckily, the bank is close to where I live, so I'm not using too much gas to get there. If it's a nice enough day I might just ride my bike (assuming I can find a pump for the tires) or walk.

For now, I'll just clean the house so my parents stay happy with me. I said I'd do it Saturday and got busy with other rooms, so it's off to scrub the bathroom.
