Well, we are at the end of April, and I have been looking for work since the middle of February. I had a brief stint as an Amazon package delivery driver, but that did not last long due to my stupidity (and my nervousness in what I should do and instead pick the stupidity route). Needless to say, I have applying like mad everywhere and anywhere.
The one thing I have been able to do that has helped is Uber Eats. They were the only company that was excepting new drivers in my neighborhood (I tried doing DoorDash and GrubHub, but both were waitlists. Uber Easts was not, but it did take a bit to get going since they were thorough and did a small background check and made sure I have vehicle insurance). So I have been doing that off and on, streaming on Sir Rat, and finally decided to bite the bullet and start streaming on my own channel.
Now, I have only had one test stream and one full stream under my belt as of writing, but I hope to do it more often with a set schedule, emotes, and some chat interactive things. I have to get affiliate before some of that stuff happens, so I need 100 followers for that to work. As of writing, I currently have 35. Not too bad considering most people know me from other Pokémon streams or just hanging around Twitch a lot.
I do have interviews coming up tomorrow! Both are video interviews, so I do not have to go there, But I do still plan to wear something nice so it hopefully translates into getting hired. They are both for admin assistant positions, so it would be more of an office job, but not out of my scope of job duties I have done in the past. Wish me luck!
That being said, May is tomorrow, and I am not ready for it! Well, I’m going to have to be, but realistically, I feel like as I have gotten older, times has been zooming past me. I mean in less than 2 months I’ll have 2 out of 3 out of high school. That seems wild to me.
Well, that is it for this update. I hope to be better about updating since I was doing rather well and then fell off the wagon. I think my mental health may have contributed to the lack of writing, since it is has been all over the place as of late, but currently I am doing well. I hope to continue streaming, hopefully find a full time job, and support the family more than I feel like I am currently doing. Happy spring.
