Whisked away

I sit, having done a good number of household chores, schoolwork (including 3 tests, and I have another one tomorrow morning), and consider my employment options.

Near as I can tell, I have none.

This is very sad, because I'm the only member of the family that can support us at this time, and I must do so while going to school full time.

We can't move to someplace where support would be more available.

I have, of course, registered with the local temp agencies. One of them, Volt, I have a good friend with, and they are trying (I believe), but I've never had good experiences with temp agencies.

I need to get something that schedules around, say, 4 o'clock to midnight (or 1, with meal break), and makes above $12.00/hr. That should be easy. I have comp skills, business skills (marginal, but present), presentation, engineering (also marginal), etc...

I am the scientific business equivalent of a swiss-army knife. Granted, one of the pocket ones that just doesn't have a very large blade, but I could upgrade! I'm soooo close to my BME cert that I can taste it (2 semesters of work, if I pushed), and my CS degree isn't far behind that.

"Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something."

"Life's not fair, is it? I'll never be king... and you'll never see the light of another day."

Of course, it's the challenges that shape us, that make us who we are.

"It's taken me all my life to figure out who I am, and I am tired."

Movies are talking to me... not a good sign.
