Homeless Again...
 
Well, it happened. I didn't have any steady income for far too long, so my friend and I got evicted from the place we were at.

The good news is I started a cool job two months ago, working at one of the best used and rare bookstores anywhere - Sam Weller's in downtown Salt Lake City. I worked there part time for a few weeks, and then they needed me full time. So now I sell books and talk about books and get discounts on books.

The bad news is that it was too little too late. We were far enough behind in the rent that they didn't care that we could now afford to pay - they just wanted us gone. The other bad news is that while I love the job, it's only minimum wage, so saving up money takes a lot longer.

The good news is that this time around we can afford to make plans. We're staying in a cheap motel until we can get into the homeless shelter, and once there I'll be able to save up enough money to get a car and a place.

And the band is still playing, so I'm not complaining at all.

All the best Steve I hope one day your finally settle in your own apartment or home and never have to experience being homeless ever again. Your book job sounds really cool.

Onkel Neal 11-04-09 11:11 PM

Sorry to hear that, Steve :-? You are the prefect fit for a bookstore, too. I would love to have a nice bookstore where I could discuss literature with someone like you.

Let me know if I can do anything to help. I'm looking for a job myself, I know how it feels.
