Back on the market (the job market that is)

So I ended up quitting my job at the summer camp I was working at. It and I were just not getting along too splendidly, so here I am, at home, thinking about what I could do for my next job.

For me, employment isn't completely mandatory/necessary. I could live without the money. The real question is whether I want to live with my parents' nagging about me getting a job, the boredom that would creep into my days if I didn't have one, and the lack of spending money for when I go back to school. I like having money and I like having a reason to get up before noon. It gives purpose to my life. Purpose is a good thing. At this point in time I would pretty much be willing to take any decent job that pays minimum wage or higher and isn't a commute longer than twenty-five or thirty minutes, forty at the most.

There are a couple potential places I could apply at, but all of them will require me to put on nicer clothing than a t-shirt and jeans (my normal apparel) and drive around the area in which I live, about twenty or thirty minutes in either direction. The outlet mall has potential and I know that there are a few places there that are hiring (and from who I saw working there, are probably not more than reasonably picky about the people they hire). I'm also going to check into a job at the office supply stores in town/nearby simply because it is almost back-to-school season and I've heard that most of them will hire a few additional workers to cover the extra business. Worth trying at the very least. One of my friends suggested the place where he works; they pay more than minimum wage just starting out, but they might want a little but more than the seasonal commitment I can give them. Those are my options for now.

Now I need to take my cold medicine so I don't sound like a completely sick individual/goober and get up the guts to get out of the house and apply for jobs. Oh boy. What a complete thrill.

Tata for now.

Sickness

Blarg.

I hate having a sore throat and sneezing all the time.

I hope I don't have strep. One of the other staff members had strep within a period reasonable period of time ago for me to start showing symptoms right now if I got it from her. There is a reasonable chance that I did. I think I'm going to go into the camp nurse and get my temperature taken, because a fever is one of the symptoms.

Movies I've seen lately

The latest Harry Potter is dark and wonderful.

Hairspray is utterly fantastic. If you haven't seen it you need to, badly. I think it is even better than the original.

That's all for now because I need to go to dinner.

I'm still at camp...

But camp is officially more than half over for me. It was officially half over yesterday. Thirty two days in, thirty two more to go. On the bright side I get to go home for a little more than a day after week six and I get to bring the minivan back with me. On the negative side I will probably be having some massively busy weeks ahead of me. Blarg.

For the last four weeks I have had to deal with the many faults of Internet Explorer to explore the internets here at camp. No more. I installed Firefox and now I can cruise the World Wide Web in one window, with the help of tabs.
