Dammit, I'm hungry. And I just ate.

I always start out saying "nothing new to report" and then it seems like I go on and on and on. I suppose you could say I'm a Ramblin' Man or something *grin* I got a call back from a dealership about a sales position, but I'm not sure how keen I am on it. Most people I talk to don't think it's right for me, which is kind of discouraging. So while it's there, I don't know about it. I've got an application for Police Foundations all filled out and ready to go, bit I'm waiting for some available cash so that I can send it in. $85 for the college application process. But I'm going to do THAT myself. Paying for it is something else entirely.

Work still sucks. Pay was less than $400 for the last two weeks, which really really bites. I'm going to essentially barely eat for the next two weeks (as is normal, really) so that I can be absolutely sure that I can pay rent with my next pay.

On the upside, I might not have to worry about money so much. I might have a line on a welding job. Turns out Other Rob has a client who is looking to put together a second crew for his welding business, because he's got so much work that his single crew can't handle it all. Bonus, I say. He said pay would be 16-18/hr (double bonus!) so I asked Amanda to forward my resume to Rob so he could pass it along. I just hope the guy didn't try to call Monday or Tuesday morning. I wasn't able to get time onto my phone until shortly before noon.

(Note to all concerned: Don't go with Pay as you Go. Yeah, there's "no commitments" and all that crap, but it's REALLY annoying when you keep running out of time because of a few phone calls and a bunch of text messages. Moreso when you can't AFFORD to put more time on your phone because all your cash is tied up. Rar.)

Met Amanda's mom on the weekend, and the three of us took the girls on a tour of Parliament, through the House of Commons, and the Senate Chamber, and then up the Peace Tower (the giant clocktower on Parliament Hill, for those who are clueless). I forgot just how BIG it is. I was walking up the path, and it just kept getting taller and taller and taller... Unbelievable.

*sigh* And now I go to work. I hate this fucking job. Ugh.
