Today I went down to the career development center where I went to college. Hey I spent thousands of dollars going to school. I might as well get some feedback. So now after my interview I will be revamping my resume 100%. She did say my resume was not bad but that she would tweek it some.
There is a lot going on right now. My son is back on crutches. A kid hit him during a football game..helmet in the knee. So now waiting to see the surgeon. Hope it is nothing but you never know.
Off to work and sleep!

Interview!
Interview this week! Finally something is breaking. Now I may or may not get this job but it will at least let me interview again. I am working on my interview - questions that may be asked, dress and knowledge about the company. I will be very prepared and if you all could send a prayer my way I would appreciate it. This job would get me back on my feet and let me do some of the things I have been wanting to do.
Thanks!
Thanks!

More savings!
I am still here plugging away at the job hunt. My muse as I like to call him, is so shocked that with my skills, I have not found a job. Ha! I am at the point where I will take almost anything in order to get myself back on my feet.
This past weekend I went and bought $25.00 worth of food. Most days I am gone from 8 or 9 AM till at least 6 or 7 PM. If I also work that day then I don't get home till 12 midnight. I make sure to pack some food with me. Today I made 2 sandwiches, which I cut in half. Grabbed two sodas and some yogurt. In my locker at work I have some beef jerky, applesauce and pringles. This is really helping me to not spend money on food when I am out.
I think I mentioned I opened a new checking account. Since the rewards where better. I use my card or write a check 99% of the time. I get 2 points for every dollar and 25 points for every check. I do look to see which way I am getting more points. I can then cash these rewards in for things like giftcards, movie tickets, target gc etc. I figure I will use the points to get us stuff for entertainment. This way we don't always have to go to the $5.00 movie. I don't mind going but sometimes I want to sleep in and the $5.00 movies are all before 12 noon.
I make it a point to buy a bus pass every week. These saves me money over the cash fare of $2.00. The bus pass is $16.00 each week and good from 5AM Sunday till 4:49AM the following Sunday.
Example of use:
Monday - to B's school and back $4.00
Tuesday - to work - to GH and then home: $6.00
Wednesday - to B's school - to work - $4.00
Thursday - to library (where I am now) - to mom's house - to work - to home $8.00
So not counting Friday or Saturday - $22.00 dollars would have been spent if I had paid the cash fare.
I also buy a sheet of bus tickets. These I use when B and I go places. He gets a bus pass for school so I don't worry about that. The tickets cost roughly 1.60 each. So each ticket is a 40 cent savings.
Still cashing in my cokerewards for either free soda (20 oz bottle) or a coupon off of a 12 pack. I prefer to buy 12 packs but with the roomate drinking my soda and not helping to pay for it. I do limit how many I buy now days.
Watching my checkbook very carefully. Not buying anything I don't need. Last week I went to pick up some needed items at my mom's house since I have them there. No need to pay for things I have already bought.
Another update soon!
