I am now officially applying to Borders. Yay. It's not quite as spectacular as Barnes and Noble, but Barnes and Noble doesn't have many positions available. (I'll probably still end up applying at Barnes and Noble anyway...). This is my first step in trying to gain a car. So yes, I can check it off the list...

1) Apply for a job

2) Get a job

3) Work at aforementioned job

4) Get paid, not fired

5&6) Advocate car-buyage while continuing to do #4

7) Get car

8) Pray for lower gas prices
