It's like Goat Cheese

I went to a staffing agency. Was sort of soured on the idea of it since I read all this bad stuff online about staffing agencies like they post fake job ads and they take people's information.

But I thought I should treat it like goat cheese, and try it first before I see if I like it or don't. I say about being open minded. I wrote about it before.

They were showing a safety video in Spanish. I was hoping there would be some nightmare fuel or some silly safety stuff. But there wasn't even any of that. I couldn't date the video. I want to say anywhere between 1995-2000.

The computer had a broken monitor. They said I could use it. They supplemented the broken monitor by using a projector. But they wanted me to put in personal information. I didn't want to sound like a bitch there, but I was not going to do that. Let some other idiot do that.

The person before me took a long time using the working computer for the personality test, but I know how to ace it now. I got a perfect score. Tip: just don't make yourself look like a psychopath.

After leaving there I was pretty soured.

I got an automated call from them. Telling me to come in at 9AM.

Then I was thinking about what I would buy with my first paycheck. I think some silly thing like a vintage toy.

I finally heard all of "Blood for Poppies". I missed it on the radio though. :( But I did get the free download from Garbage. ^-^ I put it on my MP3 player.

Worst Job Fair Ever!

My dad made me go to a job fair to get more jobs for my list. On the way over there I heard "Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow" by The Monkees on the radio.

This lady comes out; a fellow job seeker; tells us that the job fair has been moved. The lady was blond and looked ditzy. My dad was telling her something about the streets and the freeway. She gave him a look like she had no idea what he was talking about. I don't know why he says things like that to random people. Not that all blonds are ditzy though.

Signs you know you at a bad job fair. It got moved to another location and they didn't tell you.

That was it I'm not going to any job fair anymore with my dad. The last one I went to was bad, but this was a disaster! I don't mean on the part of the people hosting. Although that was bad in its own right. He just gets too annoyed with everything. He can be annoyed BY HIMSELF!

My dad signed up for it with a fake phone number; area code 666-6666 because he's evil. I gave a fake one too, but I just made up numbers. Why do they need your phone number anyway?

There wasn't really anything good there. Mostly staffing agencies. Which I'm still skeptical of. But I asked one place if they would take me with no experience and they said they would. I don't care if I gotta meet those job quotas. The thing was a bust anyway. I'm through with job fairs! Maybe I'll go to one if they happen to be at a school I'm attending if I got back to school again, but nothing else. To quote Comic Book Guy: "Worst Job Fair Ever!"

I saw an old episode of Soul train from 1993, and got all nostalgic. They danced to "Rump Shaker" in that episode. I love that song! All the old 90s fashion; chokers, crushed velvet dresses, booty shorts, boots, sports jackets and jerseys and more. Maybe if I watch more 90s episodes I'll take notes on it for my comic. (for the fashion)

Fashionably Bored

That Fashion Star show was like watching one big commercial. Oscar is annoying. And it got pretty boring. I watched the whole show, but I just wasted 90 minutes of my time. I spent most of the time reading catalogs while the show was on.

And what qualifies Nicole Ritchie to be a judge? If I had a show about cooking (that was not on an NBC owned network) I'd have Conan O'Brien as a judge because he eats food.

Daddy Still Can't Type

So my dad found out that he needs to type 35 WPM. Good Luck with that. He says that he will take typing tests online. Which will suck. It will be like when tried to learn Excel. A bunch of screaming and expecting me to know it. The worst part was the stuff he was doing at home wasn't even his FUCKING HOMEWORK! HE WAS JUST PRACTICING! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!????

I AM NOT HELPING HIM!!!! He is on his own! I'm back to frozen hamburgers eaten over the sink and leaving for "quiet time".

I type 26 WPM which is a little below average. In the job class I took my teacher said the average was 30. I took a test online, and that's that it told me.

There is no way my dad is even close to that. His typing has improved, but not that much. Is typing is so bad I even wrote a parody song about it.

Distracting News Ticker

I don't know was going on with KNBC but they had a distracting news ticker. What the HELL!? I don't remember seeing that last week. Please get rid of it!

There was another J-Pop America Fun Time Now skit. I was hoping that Lindasy Lohan was going to do one, but her Housewives of Disney was funny. I liked the part about the hat. Too bad Ariel wasn't featured, or maybe not. Since she is my favorite princess. It would have been a funny joke if she like cooked Flounder or something.

Well at least J-Pop America Fun Time Now had a boy guest. The last 2 guests were female. (The last 2 were played by Anna Faris and Katy Perry) It was funny when they kept saying they had Japanese ancestors. I did better on my Japanese tests than they did. I read Japanese poorly and have a hard time writing hiragana. I've been trying to practice my Japanese recently. It might help me get a job. I felt the mumbling was as or more annoying that the news ticker. I could barely hear him talk. Love the rasta look! LOL! I wonder what that show was called "Rasta Now!"?

"It's art if I say it is"

I was thinking about how much people hate anime and manga style drawings, and how to them they all look the same. I think a lot of people hate that like everybody does it. I felt my art felt contrived. Maybe I'm any kind of artist. I never said I was really good at it. Just intermediate at best. (I'm being generous with myself)

I was thinking of hanging up the pencils.

I will be like Marcel Duchamp "It's art if I say it is." If you are up on your art history you know who he is.

Maybe I can use this to my advantage. (I can't say how yet. I'll see how everything plays out.)

I was supposed to get a call back from the store I interviewed at, but I didn't get one like I thought so. :(

Bounce with Me

We got Bounce TV in LA now on KCOP's subchannel 13-2. I haven't watched much only classic Soul Train.
