Jun. 9th, 2007 03:45 amHmph. Went to help my mom with her work today (yesterday?) and, due to some ill-advised napping earlier the day before, I couldn't sleep. Had to just leave at 6 in the morning with her. Got back around 5pm and went immediately to bed, so I didn't get up again until just now. I'm all confused.
I seriously can't make up my mind what kind of job to look for. It all depends on whether or not I want to keep babysitting over the summer, and it's driving me nuts.
On the one hand, I'm only making about $30-40 a week babysitting right now, and I rarely get paid on time. That obviously wouldn't work in the long run. But, she did promise me at least 3 days a week when school gets out, which is in 2 weeks, so that'll bring me to at least $100.00. That alone would take care of the car insurance and gas. No worries there.
But, because of her schedule, the days she'd need me aren't going to be consistent. All I know is that they'll be daytime hours. So obviously, if I commit to her, I can't get any other job during the day. I'll have to stick to strictly nights and weekends. Obviously, this completely limits my job search.
So, I'm frustrated. I'd like to actually be able to save a little money each month to go out and do things, but that requires a second job. It also requires her to be on time each day, which I'm worried about as well.
Well, for now, I'm going to stick with the babysitting and just look for night work. If in a month or two I can't find anything, then, I'll expand the search and quit the babysitting if I have to. The people I work for can easily afford a daycare, so I wouldn't feel quite so bad leaving them.
Anyways. Lots to do this week - several birthday presents to work on, hotels to apply at, and major cleaning to do. My grandfather's coming to visit at the end of the month, and if everything isn't just right, my father will absolutely murder me. He gets really crazy and intense when his dad comes to the house. I don't know why... I know my grandfather is an insane genius who is very difficult to please, but I can't even picture him ever finding fault with me, my brother or my mom. It makes a bit of sense, but I still don't like it. My dad will be impossible to live with for weeks.
