I officially have a job!

Today I passed training for Activision. (It was Vivendi Games, but they just merged with Activision.) Starting Monday, I'll be working full-time, plus overtime when my project gets farther along. At most of my previous jobs I worked between 20-25 hours a week, so this is going to be a big change for me. On top of that, I'll be spending almost 3 hours in the car every day getting there and back, so I'll almost never be home except on the weekend.

But still, it's going to be way better than any customer service job. It's pretty laid back here as long as you're getting your work done. I'm sure time is going to pass much more quickly here than at most of the places I've worked in the past. Plus I'm excited that I have a job where I don't have to wear a uniform.

And the best reason why this is a good thing is: we should finally stop running out of money mid-week!

Job interview

I had a working interview at a chiropractor's office today. I think it went well, but they want to interview a few more people first. I'm probably going to do one more working interview before I find out if I'm going to get the job.

Sticky Songs / Unemployment Woes

I was listening to Big Tent Revival yesterday morning, and for the whole rest of the day I had What Would Jesus Do? stuck in my head. Today, randomly, I have Star in the Book of Life stuck in my head. Songs don't normally glue themselves to my brain, so this is very unusual.

I lost my job last Monday, and I've been scrambling to try to find a new one. Today I called back all the places I applied to, but nobody could tell me anything concrete except for the places that aren't actually hiring right now. It doesn't help that I can't drive yet and I'm limited to the places that are within biking distance.
