so last week...

i started getting what ross calls "PFO" letters from jobs. Please Fuck Off.
one of them was from that asst. chaplain position i really wanted.

i'm not terribly down about this. i kinda expected it.
i'm also getting really fucking stir-crazy despite the home improvement projects i've taken on.
so i am debating the different part-time positions i could take at retail places just to get out of the house (and hopefully get a sweet discount somewhere to support at least one of my habits). we are getting to the place where we need the money as well, but i don't want to take on something i'm going to feel guilty for leaving. something only part-time because i want to be home to see my husband every night and because i still need to get resumes out and have time to interview. some of the things i am thinking about:

coffee shop (mostly because i've always wanted to learn to work an espresso machine.
michael's
joannes (there is a superjoanne's or whatever you call it here that has craft stuff as well as fabric)
home depot (but only if i can work in the garden section and i hear they start laying off in june)
half-price books (a used bookstore in the area - the most fun, but also the most dangerous)

any input? suggestions?

let's see...

coffee shops are easy to leave, b/c people expect to swirl in and out of them, & should be fun & dynamic while you're there.

michael's or joanne's would inspire you to do & make things all the time--might be harder to leave that behind, but you could keep it as a seasonal gig for extra holiday money (& holiday discounts!)

home depot sounds like it's got too many qualifiers. i'd drop the application in the box anyway, but not worry too much about it.

used bookstores are places you move in & make a home of. 'course, if you come back to browse & read & borrow, that might work just as well. i don't think that's dangerous. potentially addictive, & risky b/c you'd be sad to be told no, but not dangerous. :)

btw i can't believe you're listening to geg. nobody does that but me. more awesomeness points for you!!!!!!!!!

well...

i can't take too much credit since you are the one who introduced me to them...but i did buy their cd for a friend a few years ago...the one with the "god help me" song as a bonus track.

thanks for the input.
