It's hard to believe I've already been in Utah for over a month. This last month has actually gone by pretty quickly. I'm getting used to being up here I guess. I've been much more careful with my money, but since I'm still on a very tight budget, I've decided to get a weekend job. I doubt the job will be very difficult. I'm not looking for something that requires a lot of thought and energy. I do enough of that during the week and I can imagine I'd exhaust myself quickly if I had to sit in front of a computer on the weekends too.

No, I'm actually looking at manual labor type jobs or sales stuff. I need to be more active anyways. I haven't been to a gym in months. One of the jobs I'm looking at right now is for a Saturday parking lot cleaner position. That position is 7-5:30pm at 11.75/hr. That would be enough to help me get by, and it would be physical labor instead of mental. My brain is usually tired on the weekends anyways. I wouldn't mind a job stocking books or shelves at a bookstore or grocery store, but with those jobs I'd almost have to drive around from place to place asking if they have a weekend position open. I might end up doing that if nothing comes through.

I considered night jobs, but I think they would exhaust me way too much no matter what kind of job it happens to be.

Well, not much else has happened around here this last week or so. I'm starting to get tasks outside my job description, which I like. It looks better when it comes time for a review. I'll have to wait until next July for a review, but until then I may be living on the edge with my expenses unless I find some sort of weekend job.
