I don't think it's too much to ask that you watch your kid and read the want adds at the same time. PS - drop in daycare exisits, but heaven forbid a parent have to pay $10. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Right Jet, because the majority of the time you are searching for a job is spent interviewing.

Wait, if you're unemployed, why do you need childcare? “a state unemployment rate of 8.2% (and probably headed higher) threatens to swamp nonprofits that care for the most vulnerable among us.”
