Tuesday

getting a job

I will be turning 19 this month, and I have not had a paying job. I usually do odd jobs for my grandfathers and they pay really well, so I have extra cash for things I want. Like I have said before, I dont like to spend money, so I need very little. My parents and I guess I do to, think it is time to get a J-O-B. Guess what? They are not easy to come by, especially in a small town, and with no experience. My parents have actually been very gracious about this as they are with most things. I have been a homeschooled student and very involved in the Student Leadership in my Co-op as well as church and volunteering. Now it is time. So I am actively searching for a job. I have put in an application to my local library, that would be a good job I think, quiet, books, I like that idea, but I better not hold out for that. I do not like the idea of working at a fast food place, I dont even like to eat at fast food places, so I dont think that will be a fit for me. We only have a Kroger and a Kmart in my town, and neither of them have been hiring this whole year. Other than that, there is not a whole lot out there. I could get a job in Lexington, but with my class schedule I would be running back and forth all of the time and between the gas and the few hours places are offering, I would be going in the hole every month.
Are these just excuses? No, I dont think so, but now I am going to have to think out of the box for myself. It is time to go out into this big, cold world and go to work. Wish me luck.
