more applications

The job search continues. I'm going to start budgeting and I know it's going to be scary, so I'm putting it off. I know what I'm going to find out is that my two part-time jobs will not pay the bills. And so it goes.

As I already mentioned, I actually had the day off and I've spent it having lunch with some friends, doing laundry, and submitting job applications. If you can count productivity based on number of applications, I've been really productive--I should have 5 completed by later tonight and that's on top of the 4 I did on Wednesday and Thursday. Since I'm applying to very similar positions, I've been able to reuse the cover letter which is usually the most time-consuming part of the process.

So if you're in Montana, Kentucky, Virginia, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois or Tennessee, think some happy thoughts and I might be moving somewhere near you!

surprise!

At the end of yet another very stressful day at work, someone thought to mention that the office will be closed on Monday for the Fourth of July. Since the holiday is technically on Sunday and we are in the height of super-crazy-business, I hadn't even considered this and definitely never thought to ask. I just got a key to the office this week, so I would've shown up on Monday, let myself in, and worked (in peace) for a couple hours while wondering where everyone was...Glad I know better!

So, even  though I'm actually working at the retail job on Saturday and Sunday (yay for holiday pay!!), I actually get to kind of enjoy the Fourth of July holiday with a vacation day!

Hope everyone enjoys the festivities and fireworks!!
