Texan Tally on Nostr: Employers say we don't want to work, but dammit, it's hard when you WANT to work to ...
Employers say we don't want to work, but dammit, it's hard when you WANT to work to get them to take you seriously in the states. Back to square 1: I have a job I like, but can't pay the bills with it. I wasn't on the schedule for this week & gonna call to see if it's an oopsie, but still need an extra job regardless. I have bills to pay, so if i have to get a full-time overnight job, I'll do it. And fast. Might take a few days to get used to, but I don't give a damn.
Went to 1 group interview today (at that same damned grocery store that never hires me. Dunno why). The other was for a seasonal position over the phone. I can't afford to wait for them to get back to me, so I applied to some other positions. I'm not asking for too much... just enough per hour to pay my bills & save up to do home & car improvements. An overnight stocking job at that store would be life-changing, but they've turned me down for 3 years now.
I'd die holding my breath, so not gonna bother.
