  Hey y'all,

  Well, yesterday I spent most of the day creating cover letters and updating my resumes, so today I went hoofing it around to give them to various grocery stores and pharmacies. I think I covered about three large city blocks (as in main streets and not side streets), and it took me two hours. A lot of the places had applications -some made me fill it out, some didn't- which probably took up at least a quarter of my time. Two of the stores I really think need another employee since I had to wait in line ups just to get near a person they were so busy! 

  The last place I stopped is the grocery store near my place, where I'm really hoping to get in. I managed to stop and talk to that cute manager I mentioned last time to ask who I should leave my resume with and was told the courtesy desk. He told me this wasn't the best time to apply as school kids pick up more shifts and after christmas people don't have much money... what I don't understand is that I thought people ALWAYS need groceries! *L0L* He said around March is the best bet, but if I don't get a job before then I wont even be here anymore *bah* I left my resume at the courtesy desk where there was hawtie number two, and he was super sweet. I also noticed a cute guy a few lanes over, as well. I really, really want to work there

  As I was walking around, though, I did notice that most places near here are food service and a few retail.  It looks like I'm going to have to make more resumes to include my experience in those types of jobs too and get them out in the next couple days. I tend to gear my resumes to include the work I've done that is similar and I didn't think to make some extras that included that stuff. 

  Speaking of work I do have, I managed to finish my first content edit on my first manuscript. Well, a first initial read through anyways as I want to go through it again at least once more. I need to talk it over with the head editor before I can get it back to the author anyways. It was only a novella which is why i managed to get it dome so quickly. it was pretty good too, to the point where i had to keep reading until i was done rather than just to what i told myself i had to do that day.
