Three months with no work. I really have no idea what to do, and my searches for more work have proved fruitless.
I'm so fucking terrified and at a loss for what to do right now.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
I've been there, Sean, and it's terrifying. Can you look for something seasonal for right now? UPS and FedEx usually hire extra people to ride along with the drivers at this time of year, and also to load the trucks, for instance.

Holy shit, Sean, that sucks so hard.
If he can't hear that you BOTH are going to get kicked out due to non-payment of rent, I have no idea what to think about what to do. I wish I had some useful thoughts or advice.
UGGGHHHHH. I'm so so so so so so sorry, Sean.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Is there retail work that you can do during the holiday season? It's something. And something is better than nothing.

I don't know. I know nothing about retail and have no experience at all.
Also, I have applied for many things, including things outside of theatre work, and am not getting responses.

Also, losing my car two years ago has massively complicated everything.
Also, also, I have to say, looking for a job is NOTHING AT ALL LIKE RIDING A BIKE.
I have not really had to do it in almost ten years, and I don't even know how to start any more, let alone where to look, or what I'm even qualified for any more.
I literally don't even know where to start.

I just did a search on the UPS site, and there is nothing even remotely near Los Angeles.
Probably because I am competing with an unimaginably large number of other Los Angeleinos without jobs.

I'm also going to guess that the massive-bags-under-the eyes look is not good for job interviews.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sean, I'm sorry things are so tough right now.

Because books.
You can check with almost any big chain -- the grocery stores, drug stores, Target, etc. They usually have online applications.
But I would also see what's within walking distance and see if any place is looking. Some places still hang a sign out.
I'm sorry it's so tough right now.
