I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning, and I suspect I'll be dealing with a lot of that for a long time. I had an early appointment with a client. I'm tired of freelance work. It's just becoming more stressful, especially as the dollar amounts go higher, and I still end up barely making enough for how much time it takes. I think I just want steady income. I don't mind the daily grind, and the certainty might be exactly what I need to get my head together.
I had an appointment at Ohio Citizen Action today to fill out an application, followed by a brief interview. They're looking for canvassers to go around signing people up in opposition to mountain top removal mining. They pay $375 a week, and it's Monday - Friday, 2pm - 10pm. I'd still be able to maintain about 20 hours a week at TBNK, and make a decent buck. Tomorrow is my "volunteer day," where I go through the motions to see if they like me, and if I like the work. I'm not being picky, and I hope I can start for real Monday.
I checked my email later, and I had a request from Macy's (with whom I had recently applied) to schedule a phone interview. The earliest slot was 3:30, so I took it. While I waited, I applied for a few other jobs. Then the phone rang.
I have to say it went well. I have a face-to-face interview Monday at 10:30 am with the Hiring Manager. I need to be on my A game. I need this gig for my own survival: emotional, mental, and physical. Having something to be optimistic about has really improved my mood today. Hasn't been a ton of good news, lately. I ate a bit of food, and feel what could almost be described as "okay." Of course, it only seems "okay" relative to how it's been, but it's a start.
Nancy wants to talk later, to "iron some things out." I don't know what that means, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. In the meantime, I'd love to know why my phone, which works in the basement in Greenwich Village, doesn't work in the heart of Blue Ash.
