A bunch of things.

Well, I have a job interview tomorrow for 10am at Lowe's in Chesapeake. On the one hand I'd like the job because I need work, but on the other hand it's a 2 hour+ commute. It would be about a half hour if I drove, but I don't so.. I'm stuck with figuring bus schedules. I looked up how long a walk it was supposed to be and it said something like 4 hours so I'm not going to do that.

In doll related news, Spearmint has a name. I've decided on Joey, but I'm not yet sure if it's boy Joey or girl Joey. I'm waiting to see how it looks with a faceup which I'm hoping Osaka/Allister will be able to do today. The weather is supposed to be warm and dry for the majority of the day.

In addition to settling on a name for the new kid, I've also received my tax refund as of Tuesday morning, and have placed the order for Owen my Crobidoll Tori, a TTYA order for clothes for him and Crunchy, a Mint on Card order for his eyes and a pair of jeans for Robbie, and a Luts order for a Normal Skin Kid Delf Type 3 boy body (like Zephi's) for Crunchy. I also got an inexpensive pair of sneakers for Joey from the same shop I got October's orange tennies from.

That's everything I intend to get with my tax return except for a new pair of waterproof shoes from LL Bean, and maybe an eye exam and new contacts. I need to see where I stand financially if I get the job, and whether I can swing that kind of commute on a daily basis.

Osaka was working with an hour commute each way when she was at the daycare, and it just about killed her. I don't know if I can deal with being on the bus four hours out of the day with a full shift (or worse a short shift) in between.

I'm not going to turn down an interview though. I may ask if there are openings at the Virginia Beach location if they express interest, and explain that it's a 2 hour commute to Chesapeake via the bus, and a 15 minute bus ride to the Virginia Beach location.

Ugh. I am not looking forward to this. I hate job interviews but I desperately need the work AND I really don't know if I can manage a commute like that. x_x;

I also woke up at half past 1am with a migraine and tossed and turned for 2 hours before I crawled out to the living room and curled up on the sofa, where I still didn't sleep. =_=

I'm tired of all this. I just want to work a reasonably paying job within a reasonable walking/bus distance.

  1. Two hour commute = four hours of knitting time, every working day. Just sayin'.
