mercy_angel_09So I realize that I really haven't made an update with any real substance as of late, but I've been busy. I've taken in a Peruvian refugee and have been helping her get settled (and I do want to take a tire iron to the guy-who-broke-her-heart's knee caps) as well as job hunting. She's been doing great, since she's bilingual she can find jobs easily - we need bilingual people around here like WHOA.
Further more, I'm looking for a job and feeling like there's really nothing out there, especially for someone who worked in a grocery store for eight years and has a B.A. in history. Seriously. I'm over-qualified to work retail (god damn it) and for that matter, I'm over qualified to work as an administrative assistant. >_< At this point I'm thinking that I'll have to be less picky, but I do know that if I start working full time at ANY job, I'll never get back to school and I'll never do what I want to do until I have a mid-life crisis and suddenly change everything about myself.
I honestly have no room to be picky - if I want a new car I need to get job. If I didn't need a new car I could probably waffle about and spend my time volunteering somewhere because my husband has a secure job and makes decent money (he's an engineer for Christ's sake, there are more job openings than people) but not enough to buy two new cars a year apart. And while I don't necessarily need a new car, I would like to get something under the Cash for Clunkers deal. If the government is handing out cash, why shouldn't I get some, especially since my 95 T-bird is finally giving up the ghost and it DOES qualify as a clunker. But even with the $4500, I still need to get a job to ease payments and perhaps take over paying the cell phone bill from my husband - especially since I have the smart phone with the bulk of the charges. I can also pick up the tab for dinner, groceries, bills, etc.
Guh, being a grown-up sucks sometimes but not much I can do about it. I'm twenty-five, after all.
I think I'm gonna go dunk myself in the pool (well, maybe not dunk, per say, but more like dip). And then I have to figure out what the hell I want for dinner.
