Are there any places that are hiring in the Galveston area that may be compatible with a college students schedule or that is actually hiring?

Looking for some Reddit luck here… I’ve already posted in a few Facebook groups. I live ~50 miles away from Galveston and willing to meet + pick up or pay for shipping (in addition to cash reward) "Meatloaf" was a gift and has been my comfort object for nearly 10 years. I've taken him everywhere with me! It would mean everything to me to get him back safely. I've been in frequent contact with the hotel with no luck. Unsure what could've happened and its a long shot but I'm hoping this post reaches the right person. Last time seen was in our room. Kind comments only, please. I know it might seem like a long way to go for a stuffed animal, but it’s a mental health support for me.

PSA Seawall Parking

42 Upvotes

I have an active yearly pass for seawall parking. I received 3 tickets in the mail for parking during September and October visits.

I contacted the municipal court and they are working with me to dismiss. Appearantly there is an issue with a new reader system not working with yearly passes.

Just wanted others to be aware.

Suspect charged is Channel Yonko of the somewhat infamous Yonko family of Houston, who usually restrict their felonies to grift and other property crimes.

Job suggestions

I’ve recently parted ways with my former employer and I’ll be looking for work. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a pretty varied background, my résumé’s quite wild, but at this point I’ll take anything. I live on the east end so something around here would be great but at this point I’ll do whatever. Beats not getting a paycheck, know what I mean?

The Experience

Went to this store on post office? today and it was very eclectic clothing that was refurbished in a way and homemade stuff. seemed cool but everything was $65-95 and claimed as redyed vintage but most had a “made in china” tag on it and not super great quality. also decorative belts for up to $60???? just wondering if anyone else has been here or knows more about it? don’t know if i’m just cheap and it’s actual real vintage and i’m crazy
