I need another job. My parents are having to help me out because I can't pay all of my bills. After taxes, I'm only getting paid $300 every two weeks, for crying out loud! It's killing me! I can't sleep because I'm so stressed out about finding extra work. And I'm darn near unemployable because my only work experience is teaching labs/classes and one internship from 2004. I can't even look for stuff in my field right now because I can't move anywhere until the semester's over in May. :drool:

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you----although that does make typing more difficult than usual even!!!!

Good Luck!!

Kat

I hope you get it too Lauren!

I just noticed your ticker. You are doing great!

Thanks, Denise! I'm currently plateaued, but I think it's because I had some wine about a week ago and a margarita on Friday. Plus, I've been a little piggy lately, due to stress.

Laurend -- One of our students, who is very bright, got a job on the night shift at the local Holiday Inn. He doesn't have much to do so he could work on his thesis. He just finished an excellent thesis. So you might try finding something like that. He arranged his classes early in the morning when he was still awake and slept in the afternoon. It worked very well for him, and he could pay the bills. Also you might check on food stamps for grad. students. I understand that a lot of grad. students are getting food stamps these days. We are going to suggest this to our grad. students.

I actually started a part-time job as an office assistant last week, and I'll be starting a part-time job at Linens n Things this week. Busy, busy, busy! But it'll be good. I've found that I work best under pressure. If I have too much time on my hands, I wind up procrastinating and getting absolutely nothing done.

Congrats on the 2 jobs Lauren!
