I want my AC Now!
OK, in the last couple of days I have applied at fifteen different stores, five are not hiring. I have been emailed back by one of them already. They couldn’t open my resume, so I resent it and I’m waiting to hear back from them again. I am hoping desperately that I will get hired by one of them. I don’t want to have to go back to working in an office setting again. I need the flexible hours of a department type store right now.
We only have one car at the moment, the kids are going back to school in a few weeks, and Angus’s work schedule is crazy hours. So I need to find something that I can work from 9 - 10AM to 2-3PM. Which is still going to be crazy trying to pick everyone up in the afternoons that Angus gets out at 3PM. He doesn’t always get out on time if he is in the middle of a potential sale. (I waited for about an hour the other night for him) Sophia (oldest daughter) gets out at 2:30, Zoe(middle child/daughter) is out at 2:45, and Aidan(3rd child/son) gets out at 3:15. Sophia and Zoe walk to Aidan’s school and I pick them all up at 3:30.
Well, that’s the way it did work, when we had two cars. The one car we have only seats 2-3 people, one has to go without a seat belt. Which I will NOT let any of the kids go without. So that means four separate trips to pick everyone up. Guess I need to rethink the 2-3PM and leave it at 2PM! Oh, and did I mention that Aidan has a modified day every other Wednesday? So Wednesday’s are out too. Ya I think I could find a nice office job working around that schedule, don’t you?
I am going to try and wait until the end of next week before I apply at anymore. The only thing left is food chains or stores in the mall. I could handle being a Hostess, but not waiting. And the mall is open on Holidays, that is NOT an option with small children. So I have been making an attempt to find a job. You would think that would allow me to have my AC on at least while I am cooking dinner! Right?
