In addition to sending out more resumes today I was able to score both a one-time freelance assignment (with previous employer G) and a part-time gig working evenings and weekends at Evolve’s Urban Arts Project (click on the nav bar on the left for info). The freelance gig will be helping them out with one specific project but it should be at least 20 hours of work so that will bring an temporary influx of cash, at least until I have to pay taxes on it next year, but I’ll worry about that then. The part-time job for UAP will be manning their gallery during evening hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a small Saturday shift as well. It should total about 15 hours a week so that will help with paying bills, just to get even a little bit of steady income coming in. In case you don’t know or didn’t read below, but unemployment benefits have terminated after a year so every bit of cash right now is crucial.

Today I’m sending a resume to Apple because, you know, why not? There are three retails stores (all on the Metro lines) in the area plus a store scheduled to open in Georgetown at some point. So maybe within one of those four stores they’ll have an opening and think I’m technically savvy enough to work there. This might be part-time or full-time depending on what they need.

Another place I’m applying today is for a Print Production Buyer. There’s not much design or actual production work according to the job posting; they do all direct mail so it would be a pretty dry job. But the beauty is that the office is twelve blocks away and I could walk to it in 20–25 minutes or just ride the bike down there? On inclement weather days I could also take the D6 right down the bus line. How nice would that be?
