Busy, unproductive day.

hmpfBut then, that's what job hunting is like, isn't it?
I nearly applied for a part-time job at a nearby supermarket today, but by the time I had decided to actually really truly finally do it the ad had disappeared. Waited too long...
Aside from that I visited various parts of the job-search assistance bureaucracy today and walked the city centre looking for "help wanted" signs in shop windows. (I don't seriously consider a career in retail, but I need money while I'm looking for a 'real' job. And I think I'd prefer that money to come from a job, even a crappy one, rather than from the state - although I am, finally, going to apply for support, tomorrow.)
I also got an estimate on fixing my bike. Now that I'm not a student anymore using public transport is prohibitively expensive, so I tend to walk everywhere. My city is mostly walkable, thankfully, but I don't always have the time to walk to the other end of town (which can be a 1.5-hour walk or so). So I need to resurrect my bike, which has been kinda broken for years. It will cost quite a bit, but will still be cheaper than, say, half a year of public transport.
The rest of the day I spent combing online job sites for ads that sounded promising (in the sense of "it might make sense for me to apply there because I meet at least some of the requirements"). Didn't find anything that fit the bill, though.
So I'm not really any closer to a job now than I was yesterday.
