After spending three hours on the 8 page application to be a substitute teacher, and spending $10 on a transcript to send to the school district, I called to ask to whom I should address the application and they said not to bother--they're not hiring any more subs.

Then I got a text, Alex spoke to her manager and can't hire me.

Back at square 1. No wait, back even further from that, because neither of these two jobs are jobs that are sustainable anyway. I can't even wait tables in this town. I'm supposed to go to Chicago tomorrow and I have no idea what's going to happen when I get back. It's going to have to be a remarkably inexpensive weekend away.

I hate my life.
