Ah, the job search. What an adventure. I'm looking for work at full speed now, and have been quickly reminded of how painful it really is.

The first job I applied to was fishy at the very beginning. There was 0 information about the business in the ad, and they had posted it on Craigslist. But at 16 bucks and hour full time I couldn't resist sending off a resume anyway. Today I got an e-mail back from them saying thanks, they really want to interview me but could I just sign up to this credit verification website that tricks people into paying monthly fees first?

Oh well.

I have not gotten anything back from the second job I applied to last night, so I figure that's probably a good thing. And while I would like to stop using Craigslist, I don't want to miss a thing. I'll be canvasing for jobs in person when I get to Denver, but the sort of job you get that way is usual retail or food.

The last piece of my university application puzzle was submitted two days ago, and now the ball is entirely in DU's court. Considering that there are only 3 weeks until the start of the semester, I don't have my hopes up too high, but considering that I haven't gotten a letter saying no yet, I'm still looking for a miracle. If I get in I may be able to find work on campus, which would be a double blessing.

It's about time I considered what I would be taking with me to Denver, but I haven't started bothering with that. I don't need much to live. The only minor challenge is making sure I have enough to keep from freezing to death in the coming winter. Not looking forward to that at all.
