just as i start to get comfortable, reality sets in and shocks take place to throw things back into the usual turmoil. we got some bad news today regarding christin's job. hopefully it won't all happen, but it looks like at least some of it will. she will only be working at her current job until the end of march, and she will likely begin working for her brother as our nephews' nanny indefinitely at that point. this is good for many reasons, but bad because they cannot afford anywhere near what she is making right now. we're going to have to either find another child for her to take on, which would be fine, or i'm going to have to miraculously obtain a high-paying full-time job in the next three months.
guess which one we're shooting for, primarily?
it's just as well in the end, i should be working full-time. but being out of full-time work for a year has left me embittered and frustrated. the long hours of filling out applications that seem to vanish into the ether, the total lack of responses from most places that i call and pester about jobs, it's all just so discouraging. i'm trying my best, and school is almost finished, but now the pressure is really on for something to happen, and soon. in lighter news, we started watching buffy the vampire slayer season one today, and it's quite amazing. good end to a bad day. now i must sleep and prepare for a 6:45am-3pm shift of maddened last-minute shoppers.
