It sounds very useful.

Job hunting sucks. -.- Have been looking for over 2 months and no bites. To make it worse. I don't drive so I'm stuck.

[femme gauche]

I know exactly how that feels, haha. No drive, and no bites. Fortunately now I have a job, although right now, very limited hours... Except that I can't complain about that, because... right now I really value the time I have away from work. Not that I make very productive use of my time, but I am trying... And it is a lot easier to find alternatives and stuff when I am not tired and annoyed.

[Serena Yuy]

Yeah, I wish I could find something. It's getting really tight for me now. Especially since I now have to think of the money I have to spend getting ready for Grad school. I hope I get something for a little bit to save up for that so I'm not jobless this entire time.

[femme gauche]

Well I wish you all kinds of luck in your hunt.

[Angel Spirit Girl]

Yeah. I'm still job hunting. Still no bites. v.v

I need to do some on-line applications tonight.

The Ruby Room...for free rubies? *_*

[Serena Yuy]

I finally gave in and applied to a fast food place. :(

That I got an interview for ^^"

[femme gauche]

Funkduder... well... no, not really. But it can be, if that's whta you want ;).

Angel, aw, keep trying, you'll get something!

Serena, aw... I didn't want to work in fast food at all, but that's what I ended up getting hired for at The Henry Ford. Well I think it is probably better than if I were at McDonalds, but still...

[Serena Yuy]

Yeah. I hope I do get a job of some sort... Even if it is for the fast food place. It's a stepping stone. ^^"

[femme gauche]

Yeah, something's better than nothing, as the saying goes...

I'm kind of excited; the other day I got my first wool roving (recycled/mill end) and I've been spinning with my drop spindle... I made a small skein of very overspun yarn that is mostly pretty thin... now working on one that is a good deal chunkier. It is a bit challenging but it is always fascinating to be one step nearer the origin of the things that I use/own.

Yeah. ^^" I figure I have to start somewhere. Plus there's a bunch out where I'll be going to school in the Fall. If anything I could transfer out there when I'm at school. Unless I get a better job on campus.

ooo that sounds cool though I have no idea of anything with knitting. :)

[femme gauche]

Yes, that would always be helpful to have that as an option although one wonders how manyt hey would need given the abundance of students who need work near a campus haha.

Yeah, spinning is a separate although obviously related pursuit, but it's a lot more difficult for me to get a handle on, haha. Spinning wheels cost, at a minimum, $300. Fortunately drop spindles are cheaper or can be home made. I made a couple with cardboard, like one that I used awhile is made out of a pencil with a couple of cardboard discs on it... But those I used with plastic. There is no drafting required which is probably the most important part of making a consistent and predictable yarn. XD.

[femme gauche]

Argh double post.

[Serena Yuy]

Well, considering I would hopefully already be an employee, I could have a chance. If not, then I know that I would have the option to get some form of employment on the campus somewhere in the food service there or elsewhere. Plus, I do have a friend who I could use as a reference to get a job at a sandwich place by my campus :P

Oh cool ^^
