blah in Bittersweet

my manager told me its going to be 6 months till that promotion she mentioned. 6 months?!?! Shes all so dont do anything major bad lol. Like hahaa. Yeah i dont do anything wrong. I train people, i work my ass off. Im a good employee. But this job opening isnt for 6 more months. So what the heck do i do… Try to find something truely part time that will pay better maybe? Something 3 days a week? Go back to staying at home but never have any more and not be able to afford stuff. 1600 a month is something helpful you know. But here we are and ive only got 55 hours on my previous paycheck. I mean i guess thats what we get used to getting less hours right? I only did 3 and a half days last week. So if i were to do that, then i would end up only getting 50 hours bi weekly. And at 12 an hr that isnt much. And yes it does become an issue of if its worth it. The discount is great. But i dont know. Im not sure what to do. Because on the one hand i do like my job, on the other hand the pay is shit and hell even my kid at taco bell makes more money then i do an hour.
But i guess its all risk. I just wish that i had some kind of skills that would make me desirable at more then retail. Or legit work from home jobs that arent mlm or on the phone all day.
