The title should be self explanatory. I’ve realized this for a long time but not till you’re really poor does it sink in. I’m currently looking for an additional job so I can eat next week. Anyone have any ties with a Home Depot or Toys R Us or something along those lines for part time work in the evenings/weekends? I need something local to me (Rochester/Beaver Falls) so I can actually make it there on time after my regular job. I want something with not much customer interaction and steady physical work. ---

Shit, I wish I was still in school sometimes. My parents helped me out back then. There is also much potential for extracirricular money-making opportunities on campus. And you can eat in the bistro and have it charged to y our ID and once again parents put $$$ up for that. Shit, maybe I need to finish my degree!! Eric, any word on the EB situation? I was gonna call you last night to remind you but I ended up having alot of company stop over.
