This is one of my Sims, Chloe O'Possum. In this picture, she's sobbing because one of her friends died.

Anyway, even though it's only been a couple days, I've come to the conclusion that I should just stop being so selfish, suck it up, and really not be picky about getting a job. I was going to try applying for jobs where I could get discounts on cool stuff or something, but our financial situation really needs me to find a job as fast as possible. So today I emailed my former manager at Technicolor to try to get a summer job there. I've been avoiding them a little, just because I felt it was a point of pride that I finally left that frickin' place. There was something cathartic and refreshing in knowing I'd never have to go back there, and was moving on to better things. I guess I might still never go back, as they might not have work for me. I have a tendency to over-think things before I need to worry about them. But I left them on good terms, and they're the company that's most likely to give me a job right away. And they're more likely to give me a good wage (maybe even my old salary?), and they're pretty flexible as far as shifts go.
The one thing that's appealing about getting a job this summer is the prospect of maybe a little disposable income. Again, I'm not sure how much I'd make over the next few months, but if it doesn't all go to bills and groceries, it'd be nice to do a little shopping. Not a spree or anything, but I think some new shoes are definitely in order. And why is it that everybody seems to be having yarn sales this month?? They taunt me, I tell ya. And now that I have time, I'd really like to hang out with some friends. I seem to only see them 3 or 4 times a year, which is kinda weird since they live pretty close. But hanging out - even if you're only going for dinner or catching a movie or something - costs money. Not a lot of money - but certainly not money you should be spending when you're worried about bills. Sometimes it sucks being responsible. But all of that's a little easier when you're making money. And, hey, if we get the money we're expecting, I might actually be able to save a little to pay off some credit, save up for Christmas, or some other fun stuff. Actually, that sounds like I'm still being kinda responsible. Damn it! ;)
