I'm just glad to have Monday behind me and only four more days to go till a three day weekend!
Other than that the never ending thankless task of laundry, but thank god the machines do all the work these days! I would have just been branded a major slacker in the old days when you took a washboard and soap to the local creek! LOL

I know it sucks right now, but a lot of times you just need that one foot in the door so you can SHOW them how great you are! Then when the next job comes up, you will be on top of the list. We have pretty much gone to that way of hiring at the hospital in our lab - hire people per diem and see how they are. When a job comes open you know exactly who you want to hire and who you DON'T (if you know what I mean!).
I was actually going to suggest you go to the labs and see if you could intern or volunteer or something. That way they could see how you work and that you train easily. We LOVE people like that  !
Keep your chin up, I KNOW it will happen for you soon - I can FEEL it!

He said he is going to keep all my details and add me to the pool of casual employees.
Still, I feel really really awful. |

No I want to buy and awening with sides big enough to cover my whole driveway so I can forget the Plow! LOL
I suspect my front wheel drive Honda make just perform admirably in the snow as long as theres not 4 feet or more of it, like the blizzard of 92 was. I dug my toyota out of that mess and still couldn't get it to go, because of all the snow packed under it! Had to have it wenched from the driveway! LOL

The way it's cooling down this year and raining all the time, I think as winter approches I better get busy looking for a large snow plow. We havent had a bad winter in years now, so we are due for a nasty one. The weather has been perfect for it!
I hate digging my car out of snow, or worse having to clear the entire driveway of snow to the road. That really sucks.

You still have your part time job right now right? At least it keeps you busy to an extent and if the manager at the other place said he will keep your info on hand perhaps you shall get your foot in the door there soon.
