Thursday, August 16, 1984

I went to eleven more potential employers today and came up empty handed again.  I also pent my last $8.00.  $7.00 for gas and $1.00 for stamps to mail five resumes, which is $2.00 ove my budget.

 Steve's unemployment check didn't come today, and if it doesn't come tomorrow, I won't be able to pay the phone bill Monday.  If I don't pay the phone bill, the phone company is going to charge me another $50.00 deposit.  I don't have that either.  Every resume and every application for work I've filled out has my phone number on it, and I must have a phone to look for work.  I haven't received any word from the unemployment office about my unemployment check either.

 I am feeling depressed again and don't know what to do.  I've been looking around for something I could sell to make the house payment and phone bill, but I don't have that much left after the garage sale this spring.  

 I did laundry and dishes, and killed another fifty flies, about half as many as yesterday.  I also found another point of entry, besides the back door - Steve's bedroom window.  I've closed his door to avoid any more flies coming in through his window into the house.  The window is wide open without the screen on it.
