I had intended to get back to taking care of this blog, even if it was fairly simple "Here I am" posts. But it looks like I've fallen off that particular wagon for the last month or so.
The job was part time and shouldn't have been such a big part of my life, but they stretched the 30 hours they could give me each week over 6 days, included a mix of morning and evening shifts which sometimes resulted in the dreaded "clopen" (closing in the evening, only to return the next morning to open).
But now the job is over. Tax day has come and gone and I am no longer needed. And I need to find something else. The unemployment claim that I opened after losing my last job is still open, so I do have some income for at least a little bit longer.
What comes next is still fairly open. I had a job interview this week, though it was the first in months. It might become something, or it might not.
I have gone ahead and applied for college in the fall and applied for financial aid. But because I'm waiting until the fall, that means that I have to wait for a while to get a proper picture of what that's going to look like. And my current estimate shows that my unemployment is likely to dry up before that.
Scary times.
