thanks to a tip-off from aika, i called up the tie rack at the airport this morning to enquire about job applications. they said that they were looking for someone to work in the mornings, as opposed to the (uber-lucrative) night shift that i had been hoping to work.
anyway, i will have to (snail — how backward!) mail in my cv first thing tomorrow, which means typing up a cover letter tonight (or rather now, but i’d rather be typing this and then watching i’m a cyborg and that’s okay). but as a backup, and before i lose my momentum, i shall try to find a minute to dart out to the garden city mall and look out for any help wanted posters. in fact, i should probably reactivate my application to work at myers, in spite of the bad taste left by last year’s interview.
the reason why finding employment is so imperative is that in the absence of a reliable (or indeed, any) stream of income, i cannot with confidence proceed with any of the things i intended to do this year. most likely i should call up my sonsengnim soon to arrange lessons, but even what money i had in storage (that in any case only sufficed for 6 lessons) has been eaten up by course readers and other miscellaneous unforeseen expenditure that in retrospect really should have been quite foreseeable.
not to mention that the although the ah longs of uwa have not been pounding on my door or leaving behind any poultry or porcine carcasses, they are probably sitting in their vaults happily counting the interest that is accruing now that my interest-free period has expired. having missed office hours by 5 minutes this afternoon (blame the course readers), i figure that any marginal interest from tomorrow will not exceed the cost of the petrol needed to get there and back just to run that one errand.
in short, a financial crisis looms but you never know… if you wait long enough, the rabbit may just strike.
what am i talking about?!?
