Sherry talked to me on the phone.
"It's the time of year when we start cutting back," she says. That means they probably won't call me. Well, nobody said it was going to be easy. It's cold and people want to stay indoors wrapped up with their blankets and sweaters before a nice crackling fire, not have interviews with some starving ex-student who's desperate for work.
I know that proximity is important because of transportation. So that leaves Kroger, Chunk E. Cheese, The Dollar Store, Walmart, H&R Block (if they are still hiring), Subway, and any other little store that will give me an application. Oh yeah, and I could probably walk to the YMCA, weather forgiving. It's too late now today for things to be done. Now it's time to cozy down against the freezing rain and wait for warmer weather.
I've also applied to several online writing jobs today. Mostly article writing. Fast, easy stuff that I could knock down in an afternoon. I've gotten one e-mail back so far, and who knows how many have gotten lost in the junk mail and thrown out. So losing those probably isn't a sad thing at all, considering they aren't the type of work I want to do anyway. I'm more into poetry and short stories...the finer, more delicate side of writing. This promotes loyalties within people and higher ideals. So, base work aside, the day was spent well, poring over volumes of work that could be done.
