Jobless.  Lately, I’ve been really wanting a job — any job.  I thought for sure I would get the job as a cashier at Circle K, but I guess Oscar had some other friend or relative he wanted to hire.  My Aunt Diane always had a job at Smith’s Food & Drug available in the past, but no longer.  I answered an ad by Ace Taxi looking for drivers.  As soon as I save about $150 cash, I can pay all the fees and pay for the tests to apply.

Then again … as discouraging as it is not having any money to spend, I have to admit, I like not having a job.  I have the whole day to myself.  I don’t have a schedule.  As I’ve told my mom over and over again when she asks how my day was: “Any day you don’t work, beats a day you do.”

“Still Fly” by Big Tymers

Can’t pay my rent
Cause all my money’s spent
But that’s all right
Cause I’m still fly

Got everything
In my momma’s name
But I’m hood rich
Da daa da da
