If I were a rich (wo)man

First of all, if I were rich, I would give money to my little sis. Annie, who is trying to raise money for Ireland! She's my inspiration because who else would take the time to make suckers every day to send to the high school to get some money? If anybody has any fund-raising ideas, let me know.

Secondly- I wouldn't be thinking of the jobs I've been thinking about. I just got off my daily search for "the job," and all I can say is "I'm not that desperate"... YET. How desperate do you have to be to take a job as a hotel clerk (I actually love working at hotels, but see what's next), for a measly $6.55 p/h, and you have to work every Friday, Sat, and Sunday night? Again, I am not that desperate, nor am I going to give up my Sabbath Day observance (Yes, I've changed since I used to work Sundays at the resorts where I lived. Thankfully they set the schedule so I could at least attend church) for a job! Also, the other opening involved retail. From past experience, I know that the retail stores DO NOT want me! I remember needing to suggest a book when I actually couldn't stand the author. I told the girl all of the reasons people buy her books, but had to be honest and say, "I don't like the author at all, but you might!" So much for up-selling. . .

I'm still feeling like I want to stay in Cedar (shock of my life that I don't want to move), and I hope it doesn't come to actually having to move again. Did I mention that Walmart even has a hiring freeze? I of course feel a little bit sorry for myself, until I think of all my friends who don't have jobs, and have families to feed/shelter. Good luck my friends! Thankfully I got my tax return, so my small bills can be paid for the next six months. Not everyone is so lucky.
