Hi friends, this is going to be a sad blog post. We received one of those dreaded letters in the mail that informed us our credit card limit was being dropped. This is sad because that was the card that we were going to put my school fees on. So now, instead of going back to school next month, I'll be working at Wal mart or some other such paradise (if I can find a bloody job!) until I save enough money to pay for my classes. I know this is the way it goes, being an adult and all, but it doesn't mean I have to take it like a man. I've put on the brave smile and my "Oh well, I'll just start classes after the holidays!" pants, and I've already applied for six jobs (we just got the letter this afternoon) and am posting my resume like crazy on every job board I've come across. So all that said, I feel like bawling like a baby. It's not like we're losing our house and can't pay our bills, but this was so big and important to me that I feel like if I don't do it soon I'll lose my momentum and become complacent with my job greeting the fine folks who walk through the doors of Wal Mart (if I could even get a job there). So I'm gonna be a baby for a couple of hours to get it out of my system.
There was a job on Craigs List that wanted "talented voice actresses for phone calls", hmmmm, I wonder what that could mean! It said I could make money in the comfort of my own home as long as I have a "nice" voice. Although I thought about it for a second, I pictured one of the girls answering my "work phone" and that put the thought out of my head. Emma asked me what a voice actress is so I had to tell her that it's when someone pretends to be someone else on a phone call. She said "Do you mean that the phone numbers for the Jonas Brothers and Demi Levato that you can get online are not real???!!!!!" She was shocked because she and a friend left messages singing songs to the Jonas Bros. on their answering machine one night, at least they thought it was the Jo Bros. Of course I wasn't going to tell her what the real job was! It just makes me laugh when she says something so innocent,I forget that she's still a little kid and falls for all the old tricks.
OK, I'm going to take a shower and get out my grief now, all your words of sympathy are greatly appreciated. I'll write again soon and maybe I'll have some good news to report!! Wish me luck on the job hunt.
xoxo
