I didn't get the job after all. They notified me friday. I got it when i got home from work last night. Which was compounded by the insanity that is my mother calling and then blaming me for not getting the job when we're all out of money. Both of us. Since i had to chose between paying the damned car totally off and money to live on for the next week. Guess what won? I'm paying a chunk of it off of this last week's paycheck but the next one is entirely rent. PLUS i have to have money to drive down to port huron and back. I'm considering cancelling it just because gas costs so damned much. I was considering meeting them in Ann Arbor as it is, if i took the train there from East Lansing. Costs almost as much at this point.
On a good note, i returned to DJing in Second Life with much success. I can count that as a second job now. With around 10-12 hours a month as a given. It won't get me a lot of money extra, but it'll get me a bit more than i'm making already. Especially since i've got a weekly gig now, every wednesday night after i get out of work. It'll help a bit in the meantime. For now i'm just sorta stuck. I'm not giving up on job hunting, but i'm not exactly in a good mood after mom poked me with sticks right AFTER i found out that i wasn't going to be hired.
The DJing though? I was welcomed back with open arms. ^_^ The seem to have missed my signature type of sets when i play at Radio Riel. My continent hopping techno is one of a kind in Caledon and in lots of other places. So much that as i played that gig last night, i was asked to start playing that regular gig in a sister sim of ours, New Babbage. Along with all the other rotation things we have going, it seems i wont' be a 'part timer' unless i need to be request it if time between work and now THIS work gets too dear. Since i'm concentrating on Retail pharmacies again, i may be able to maintain that full time DJ status of 12 hours a month even after i start somewhere else.
It was tiring to find that out and then all of a sudden hit the jackpot in terms of the DJ thing. With the regular gig and being paid for playing every single time almost? Um yeah. It'll get me an extra 40 or so a month, maybe more depending on my average tips. I've already got my property in SL paid off for almost 3 months. So i can concentrate on using that bit extra for myself. I'll have actually earned it after all! It'll be enough to help out in the meantime. Which is all i'm really after while i seek out better pay. The mistreatment is still bugging the crap out of me. They ask us to move mountains and give us absolutely nothing back at work.
All i can say is that life is damned WEIRD. Fun though. :D You could say i was saved by my own music, in a way. But i also think of it as dumb luck too. *grin*
