My mom works 3 jobs and I work 2. At first it was a bitch but Ive grown use to it. It constantly feels like an uphill battle to save but I'm managing.
I dunno...just a suggesting. Like I said before, I dont know your situation-but if you can make the time, even if its just the weekends I think you might find that tiny bit of breathing room you've been looking for. :/

Thank you for the suggestion.

A second job would be manageable if my first job had steady or cyclical hours, but it doesn't. I never know what my week's schedule will look like (even weekends), so it would be hard for my two jobs to share me, so to speak. Either way, i've sent out dozens (literally) of applications and even gone to a temp agency-- still nothing.

In January i'm going to be basically full-time job-hunting since my shop hours will be drastically cut.

Don't give up and dress sharp!
By nature Im very shy/have a gloomy personality so I mastered the art of acting "fake" people seem to buy it.
When you're out looking stay upbeat-after awhile you start to really believe it -or at least for me it works lol.

Sucks about the hours, but if life ever gives you the opportunity to work 2 jobs-take it! At first its a bitch, but when you have that extra money, and something tangible to show for your hard work in the end its totally worth it. (Remember 1-2 nights or mornings of rest a week is a must)
Good luck!

Love how I go out to visit my friend and I end up with a girls number. Not complaining.

This is all that's important in getting any type of corporate job or even any job really.

When I see Cadillac, but not Chevy, it just pisses me off.

It shows that GM can build decent cars, when they make a moderate effort (Corvette, too) but they are content to not give two shits to their primary customer base. Why would they, when we (Canada bailed out GM here, too) will save their asses regardless of shitty business practices?

Good on Ford for stepping up, and putting in a more serious effort.

Well you should, because a lot of those luxury lines aren't that dependable/reliable. Perhaps across the boars it might appear that way but I know for a fact all of the German brands have at least one model that's rock solid to carry their ratings. For instance, Porsche's 911 is way above average but their Cayenne model actually has below average ratings (lol VWAG engine); it's just the same for the other German brands. There's a reason that people say they won't own one outside of warranty.
