As most of you know, I have been working part time at Victoria's Secret since I was let go from my full time job. I only work about 15-20 hours at minimum wage, but it is such a fun stress free job. For the first time in quite a while I actually look forward to going to work. All of the girls that I work with seem to equally like their job too, so it makes for a work environment that is so refreshing.
In addition to liking my job, I also get some fun perks. Free and discounted bras, underwear, and beauty products. I had always loved Victoria's Secret merchandise, but was too cheap to but it. Getting it free or next to free fits perfect with my current budget. Feeling pretty on a penny is what I like to call it:)
I would say that the only downfall is that I don't make enough there to be able to make ends meet. Even if they did have a full time position available at $7.50 an hour, my mortgage wouldn't get paid (but I would have nice bras and panties on when the bank came and foreclosed on me!!).
Hello are you hiring?

Three Months Unemployed= Ready to Pull my Hair Out!
Yes I am still alive and still unemployed. It's been 3 months since I lost my job. (Ok those first 2 lines sound like I was going to confession at church!)
In the last month I have had many ups and downs. I have sent out several resumes, but have not heard anything back. I have posted my resume on several job web sites, but the only bites I have gotten are from insurance companies-which aren't my cup of tea. And I have tried my hand at networking, but again nothing. The frustration and anxiety seem to increase with each passing day. Twelve weeks of unemployment down and 14 weeks to go. I hope I have something lined up by then!
Luckily I still have my part time job, which I love! But I was reading an article online that stated- if you have a part time job while collecting unemployment, they will recalculate your gross pay to reflect what you make at your part time job instead of what you made at your full time job. If this is true, I may be shooting myself in the foot down the road. Ahhhhhh the life of the unemployed,
