In January and February, nobody shops at Walmart.

Because nobody shops at Walmart, the store can't afford to have its usual amount of employees on the clock.

Because the store can't afford to have its usual amount of employees on the clock, the employees have to work less.

Because the employees have to work less, they earn less money.

Because they earn less money, they can barely afford things like rent for their new apartments.

Because they can barely afford things like rent for their new apartments, they can't afford an Internet connection at all.

Because they can't afford an Internet connection at all, they can only use the Internet sporadically by visiting the community college computer lab.

So in conclusion, until approximately March or April, I'm going to be around DA much less frequently. I'm going to buy a flash drive and transfer my files from my home computer to the lab, so the commissions I still owe everyone won't take that long to show up. But I can't be here every day, and I know it's inconvenient to have to wait, so again, I offer my sincerest apologies for keeping everyone dangling for so long.

P.S.

Now I feel guilty... I haven't had a job for three years and I have more Internet than you can shake a stick at.

You deserve better. This world just does not properly appreciate you who are true artists that contribute to the good of mankind.

It's just a bad economy. Minimum wage can only take one so far. :(

Boy does this ever strike a chord. I'm fortunate that I work in claims, where they can't really cut my hours, more than one or two anyway. The pile-up would be a little too nasty for them to handle otherwise. You might want to consider aiming for a position in the Office Associate category, most of those have much better hours too.

Most people are coasting on their income, so to speak, because of spending so much at Christmas. It doesn't usually pick up for most departments until after tax refund time, when a lot of people have surplus to spend.
