I'm going to work tomorrow at my dead end job at the local truck stop. Its more of a travel center, along the lines of a Travel America or Pilot station. I'll be working in the morning, a horrific shift from 6am to 2pm. I'm usually half asleep during the morning hours. One or two of these shifts during the week isn't bad, but after a week of it I just feel completely dead inside. I'm a night owl, and if anything I guess I'd rather work a 10pm to 6am shift than the morning shift.

In any case, I've been looking at the want ads in the local paper, and I can't see anything else that looks even remotely interesting. Everything requires either a degree or experience that I don't have. And to add insult to my inadequacy, the positions advertised are largely part-time.

I did renew my Ohio short-term substitutes license. I never got much work from the local school districts, but the few days I got last year gave me the money I needed to come and go on. If the convenience store gig goes sour I can use it as a backup, or work on my days off for that matter. For $12.00 its a cheap insurance policy.
