Books and Jobs

This will be a summer of reading and working. At least, that's what I hope. I already have lots of stuff to read: Alex's stories, Dresden Files, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, etc.

The job part is the problem, though. I have the babysitting gig again, at least, but that won't start until mid-June. I'd like to be making money now, please and thank you. Elissa got me to apply to Wal-Mart even though she hates her job and will probably quit soon. That one looks the most promising considering I got to talk to one of the managers and she seemed to like Elissa and Ray enough when I mentioned them. Because Elissa was talking about quiting the electronics department, that's what I said I was looking for, but I'm open to anything. They're apparently looking for cashiers, and I would much rather cashier than work in electronics. So there's that. I just hope they call me... I've applied to some other places too, the flower/produce place by Hammer's, Fashion Bug, Subway down my Mom, and the snack bar at Ice Connection. I really hope I have better luck this time around.

Alex told me about his friend Andrea and the job she has at a company that he does not remember the name of. She got it through an internship and it sounds like a completely awesome job. Once Alex finds out the name of it, I'm gonna look it up. They work with kids and Andrea works with commercials and advertising on a station that sounds similar to PBSkids. Doing what she is doing would be so cool and so perfect. And since it's in Robinson, it wouldn't be too horribly far away. Here's to hoping... ugh. There I go again.
