@Tsundererra: I thought for sure I'd missed the window, but I saw they had posted a position only a few days ago, so I went ahead and applied. I guess they still need people even after the initial setup phase. And I completely agree about the other stuff. Life has been a very bumpy and tiring road. I hope whatever comes of the next election sees at least some improvement. More and more places are raising their wages, so that's a good sign.

@AshTheAlien: aye, too bad govt and employers don't tend to see it that way. But we do what we can.

@koneko: That sounds nice, though. I wanted to do something like that in my "downtime", but problems ended up being worse than I realized and by the time I was ready to get back out there, I felt like I needed to make getting paid a priority. But maybe once I do get a job--this one or otherwise--I'll have an easier time scheduling things and see what volunteer opportunities are out there. You're lucky to have a cast rescue nearby! Not that I don't love dogs, but I'm a cat person and this city is dogsville. There is a cat cafe nearby and I'd kill to work there, but they're only hiring management and don't have volunteer positions. I doubt the people who do work there will be leaving any time soon to give me an opening, not that I blame them lol.
Halloween stores are great, though. I applied here because not only do I love Halloween, but I figured a temporary position would be easier to get into since they need to fill positions very quickly and take people with less experience. One benefit of temporary jobs, I guess, is they're not hard to come by.

and thanks everybody. Fingers crossed!
gonna be a heck of a time getting up so early; good thing I couldn't sleep last night. Maybe I'll be tired enough to go to bed :Y

@AshTheAlien: Exactly. And this at least looks fun. Much as I need money, I also need to watch my stress for health reasons, so a smaller store with a theme I like seemed like a good idea.

After 6 months without work, most of which has been spent in and out of the doctor's office, I finally got a call. Job would only be temporary, but at least it will give me something "in the meantime" while I look for other work, try to get moved out, etc. There is no job security, no benefits, and it won't pay enough to put food on the table... but it's a job, and not a moment too soon, as I'm quickly running out of savings. Hopefully I can land this one and find something more stable in the meantime.
But hooray, one small step. Plus since it's a Halloween store, I get to be around spooky stuff and help customers put together outfits. ...If they hire me, that is. I won't count my chickens before they hatch. But I'm hopeful, at least.

why do all of these scenarios make me the woman?

1. Of course that's not an appropriate place for that discussion, and I'd be uncomfortable with someone I barely know--"technically" family or not--spreading my family's personal business around, especially when it seems like it's just to get sympathy points. I'd have to contact that person and ask them to remove it, explaining it should be a private matter. I don't think I'd go much further than that, though. Bigger things to worry about.
2. BOUNDARIES. If y'all want a wedding, have your own. If you don't want me to have mine, then you can stay at home 'cause y'all just got uninvited.
3. Not only is that grounds for divorce, but I'd be seeing about taking legal action if possible. That is most definitely abuse, and tampering with somebody's medication--birth control or otherwise--is downright psychotic. And if I ended up keeping that baby, those people would have no part in its life.

I love storms and the sound of distant thunder. Less so the lightning, 'cause I'm scared of getting hit. >n> And even less so the power outages... but storms are nice.
