Well, I suppose I am among the million or so other people who wake up every morning and wonder where they will look for work today. I have applied at numerous places including the position I am most qualified for, high school English teacher, and no one is calling me. Except of course the last place on earth I ever wanted to work, especially at Christmas time, Walmart. Ah well. In times like these, I guess any work is better than none.
And what about this unemployment business. I received regular benefits for three to four months and now, while others around me are getting extension after extension, I am not eligible for any other benefits. Go figure. I will have to sell something to make a payment on my Christmas layaway at K-mart. Maybe now is a good time to tell my nine year old that Santa doesn't exist.
So, my job interview is tomorrow at 10:30 and the position is nights and weekends so I may not see my kids until after Christmas. Maybe by next semester there will be a need for me at a school nearby. I can only hope.
