On jobs

I was really restless last night. I thought going for a walk would help. I got over to Carmen's and they were painting in the garage. I stopped and talked with her. I never did get around to that walk. But it did make me feel better.

I went out job hunting today. I found an ad in the paper for a full-time cashier at True Value, a 9 to 6 M-F and every other weekend job. I decided to start my search there. From there, I went to the library, and they just happened to be hiring. Today was the last day they were accepting applications for the position as a children's librarian. It's perfect -- daytime hours, 30-40 hours per week during the summer and 10 to 15 hours per week during the school year. I was just like, "eeek!" and filled the app out on the spot. On to County Fair to get an app for a bakery position. Then to Bound to Read. I also applied online at US Bancorp. I figure 5 apps in one day isn't a bad number.

I was blown away by the whole thing. Everywhere I asked, they were hiring. Only one job was evenings and weekends. The rest were exactly what I was looking for, and most of them I had previous experience in. Yay! If I could pick any of them, I'd have to go for the library. Unfortunately, that's the only place I don't have any previous experience....
