kodalaiSo it's the old story between two conflicting sins: laziness and greed.
Although I don't talk about it much, I've been fairly obsessive about worrying about money lately; I can always ask my parents for money if I need it, but I don't really like to, since I do technically have a job and do earn something. I know intellectually that I'm a student and not really expected to be a wage-earner, but it bothers me that I can't seem to save anything, that anything I earn seems to vanish before the pay period is up. Because of my schedule, though, I haven't been able to spend as many hours at the help desk as last year (although more than last semester, fortunately) so I've been looking all semester for some jobs to pick up for a little extra cash. I have a babysitting gig over the break, for instance, and I aimed for a job at the local cafe, although that didn't work out for reasons I *could* rant about but let's just say it fell through.
This morning my boss mentioned that they didn't really have anyone to cover the computer lab desk over spring break, and asked me if I was interested. Heck yes. Unfortunately, she added, there was someone else who could cover for the afternoon shifts; it was just the morning that she needs people.
*watches little winged pillow fluttering away* Sigh.
