So I'm getting fed up with the ultra-slow pace of things at work. As much as I want to be there to get to completely re-do the entire blinds department come November, I don't think I can maintain myself financially at this rate.

So I'm looking for other, better-paying jobs.

The funniest thing is, there's a listing for an Interior Decorator based in one of the East end stores. I'm going to ask about that tomorrow, for sure. I don't have the certificate or whatever it is they want, but I have a good eye for colour, as well as the aesthetics of decorating. I could do it, damn it.

Essentially what I'm looking for is anything that pays $10/hr, is permanent, and full time. Or anything over $30k/yr. And I KNOW the math on those doesn't match up, but that's not the point. So far, I've fired off six actual resume emails today, including the one through a job application website applet thing for a travel company. I still have *counts* 19 job listing windows open. It might take me a little while to get through all of them. Writing cover letters is tough, particularly when you're stretching a bit to make it sound like you're really qualified for the position, when you're only just a little qualified for it.

Ah well.

Hopefully I'll get one of the higher paying positions (like the Warehouse Supervisor position that pays $35-40k/yr *grin*)

I've got a kind of wussy looking resume right now, but that's what happens when all I've done is retail for the past six years, and have a partially finished Robotics diploma (feh. burned out on it at the same time that i ran out of cash, meaning no finishing THAT one. welding is the next try. eventually.)

I have important things that I want to do in the next three to five years. I'm running out of time, and, well, they're IMPORTANT.

Bed should be attempted, so that I'm not a zombie for the shipment tomorrow. It's likely furniture, lamps, and greenery/fake flowers. And maybe some blankets or throws or something. But I like to be able to think clearly when it comes to merchandising things, and rearranging stuff so that it looks good, and not just thrown onto a shelf.
