Important Notice

General
I'll try to keep it short. I tend to keep my regular life separate from what I do on the internet, but...
Basically I have to move out where I'm currently staying by the end of the week. The major reason I've been less active (aside from bullshit journals after I've drowned my sorrows) is because I was on a job hunt. Jani-King, the folks I normally worked for, has been on a contract drought for a good while now and my business license is expired. I've been doing some odd jobs here and there (like PC Repairs and some Landscaping stuff) got some public assistance (Food Stamps and one of those Assurance phones), and received a few handouts but it's not quite enough.
I usually spend maybe 6-8 hours on foot (or bus if I scrape up enough change) most days just walking around Norfolk, only to hear 'We currently do not have any positions available" or "We'll have some openings in the summer" god knows how many times. I did manage to land an interview at Sears, but the sheer volume of people who applied for the same position doesn't guarantee a spot. They keep telling me to wait two weeks and they'll know, but I kinda don't have two weeks.
Especially frustrating when someone I knew just recently got a job handed to them without so much as to even hop on the bus or surf the web, despite me busting my ass just to find anything. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places...
At the very least a close friend is willing to help out since they're aware of my situation, but I wanted to let everyone know that just in case I become even less active. Perhaps VA Beach will have better opportunities than here.
I'll start packing sometime tomorrow.

I really hope you'll find a job soon.
Personally, I want you to get into character design jobs out west, but that's a world away right now. Do what you can.
