Employment & other things

I am only going to try a little bit more to make working from home work out for me. After a week or 2, I am going to get a normal job. I applied for several transcription jobs today. A few require me to do a test, which I will do this weekend sometime. I worked really hard on a the cover letter. What was discouraging is seeing how little it pays...300-500 a month max. That is like slave labor isn;t it? LOL Obviously it varies depending on how well you work, how quick you work, and the company. I don't want to throw the entire thing out the window. I mean, that's potentially $500 more than what I'm making now isn't it? And, I could find better opportunties. I am going to give this a try and see if it really can work out for me. If not, oh well, move on, right? I've been stressing and doing all kinds of shit this week, I can't wait to get a break tomorrow and this weekend. When Thomas is home that's less meals I have to cook and less cleaning I have to do.

I am all ready to get my ID tomorrow. I gathered all my supplies, and I hope I have enough info to prove who I am and where I live! I think I do. I'll try to gather whatever else I can with my name and address on it and put it in my purse for tomorrow. I'm honestly really excited to get out of the house. I really don't get out as much (into the city) in comparison to when I first arrived here. I'd be out in the city 4+ days a week for school and work. Now we rarely take the train! I honestly just hope it will go as simply as it did when Thomas got his ID. It was in and out in 20-30mins and it was just so easy and painless.

My state (Minnesota) is still trying to figure out how to make our state I.D.s comply with the Federal Real ID Act. I dunno how New York is, but they're making a stink about it...

Hay there! I have zero idea what the Federal Real ID Act is. Yes, I could just google it, but if you wanna give me a quick and simple summary that'd be cool too ;)

It's draconian legislation from the Bush era, I believe, requiring certain features be present on legal forms of identification.
