The Rat Race

I hate working and not being home with Gracie. I got used to making us breakfast, watching morning cartoons, and uh...going BACK to sleep....haha. I have gone through 2 jobs already this year and I kinda feel bad. But I cannot afford to stay home. Home Depot is by far the WORST company I have ever worked for....so unorganized, never had enough staff on the schedule....made me work in the garden center in ALABAMA, land of humidity....ugh....and then there was Chris Myers AutoMall. If I had my way, I'd still work there...Here are the reasons why I do not:
1. Daphne is a bit more than a skip and a jump from my home is West Mobile
2. My car's license tag is from NC, and has been expired since...March?
3. My insurance lapsed because I thought that Carmax {the lender on the vehicle} was going to come repossess the P.O.S and I did not see the point in throwing away MORE money on that lemon.
4. The car is a piece of shit that has been in the shop or broken down in which Todd attempted to fix it OVER TWENTY TIMES since I purchased it in March 2006.
5. My starting wage left something to be desired, and therefore I could not justify spending so much gas money and keeping up maintenance on the car just to make it to work...not to mention the ever-threatening risk of going to jail due to no insurance and expired tag.
Need another reason?
It really blows because I am one picky bitch and it is damn near impossible for me to find a job hat I enjoy...and I really liked working in the BDC at the dealership. We did data entry, follow-up calls for the salesmen, made copies...etc. Your basic clerical position. I tried to find something like that here in Mobile, to no avail. So, rat race, here I come. I am so tired of pounding the pavement, getting resumes sent out, pointless interviews...I just a want a fucking job! Is that too much to ask? I have thought about babysitting, cleaning houses/offices...pet sitting...you name it. You would think it's not hard to find clients, but when you live in a town {much less a state} where you can count your friends on one hand...makes it a little difficult. Guess I'ma have to suck it up and go to Mickey Dee's or try my hand at waitressing again. {Gopd help the general public} You're probably thinking, I wish that bitch would stop her sniveling and look on careerbuilder.com, monster.com, craigslist....trust me, been there, done that. I check them regularly and submit applications every day. I have probably done 15 today. I just talked to Todd and he said the loan company wouldn't approve us...so now, not only am I without a job, we are probably going to default on some of our bills, including the rent. What a day....why didn't I stay in bed?
