Both Reeking of Desperation

It's the worst time to be mandated by the government to be out going around looking for jobs. The holiday season just ended, and summer hasn't started.

I thought I'd kill 9 birds with one stone, and go to the mall. There are a lot of places to potentially work at in one place. (I had gone to one place earlier in the week)

Here are some tips when you know a place is hurting: The store is pretty empty one associate/worker and hardly any items in it, the worker inside it reeks of desperation (ex: you are walking by the store and they are ready to pounce on you), the store looks like it is closing.

Let's see one place I went to they were so desperate they were giving some gross looking food samples. Here is something that bothers me why is it when people give samples of food they don't ask if you want some kind of sauce with it. They just assume and ruin the sample by putting sauce on it. I pass it by. They look confused, but I didn't ask for sauce. I'm not including pre-sauced items like a piece of chicken with glaze already on it.

I kept going into the Forever XXI. Not because I was interested in items. Ok a little, but only because I was looking for the new Glee items that were mentioned on Twitter. They were not in stock. I just kept going through there because it leads to an exit, and it was near the restaurants I was trying to apply to. I gotta look for food jobs.

When I was walking to the bus stop I noticed there was a carnival being setup in the parking lot. There was a very interesting fish painted on the merry-go-round. It made me think of Mr. Burns and CM Punk. It took me a few tries to get a good picture of it with my phone. This was the best one.

Spanish or Mandrarin?

I felt Glee was heavy handed in it's message. It's slowly creeping into season 2. People will only be speaking Spanish? What about Mandarin? At least Sugar got a scene in the episode. How did Will get a Spanish teacher job did he study with Senior Chang from Community? That confused me. And does Sue even teach anything? Besides the coach as the Cheerios?

No Selena or Shelia E. or Reggaton!?

Raising Hope was funny when Burt had all his finical papers all over the floor. It reminds me of my dad when he is doing any finical paperwork. Boy am I glad I'm an independent for the student aid now. Now I don't have to deal with my dad doing something like that.

Plus the dad made them leave so he could concentrate my dad always does that! It's funny when he does stuff like that now and I voluntary leave. What!? (You put that in my head dad :P)

I calculated how many jobs I had to look for It's 142!

10 the first time
120 the second time
30 this time

Hello!? there are none!

I also wouldn't be so pissed, but my piece of junk printer broke again! I'm letting my dad deal with it since he is "the smart one" XD and he knows so much about computers!

He wanted to do stuff at the library! I'm not putting my precious and untainted drive in some crappy ass virus riddled computer at the library. The library is no good anyway; you only get 1 hour to do something. There are computer vultures who hover and swoop them even when it is not their turn! Anyway that is not enough time to fill out an online application anyway. You have to spend at least an hour doing those evaluation tests.

This is just like the last time when they wanted me to do 10 jobs with printouts and my internet decided to act stupid and cut off like every 10 minutes. Try finishing a job application online while that is happening and not get mad!?

Also because the printer broke and it's an all in one and I can't find the old scanner and I really wanted to enter some drawing contests. I love you broken printer!

I just want to get this stupid assignment over with I don't even care about the trickery anymore. I don't care if every single place I went to threw away the applications themselves out of fear. As long as it was done!

Give the Middle Finger!

My dad is still pissed about the sign spinner job. I did work for free for 15 minutes. I think I didn't get the job because I sucked at it. I think I need more practice, and my own props. It's hard to do sign tricks in a Statue of Liberty gown. Maybe I need to do what I see the lazy sign spinners doing they get some kind of stick like a broom or a crutch then they tie the sign to that and wiggle the sick. Plus he's doing that thing again where he thinks because I'm good at something I can get a job doing it. Hello!? Really!? I have no experience or degree. I only want to finish school to shut you up!

I got a new assignment I have to go around and beg for jobs at physical places and document it. So degrading and hard! Don't the social workers realize a lot of these people don't have cars? Plus they give you worthless tokens. They are only good for the metro!

Which made me think about McDonald's what if all the employes are scared and want to save their asses and trick me? I feel this is not an isolated incident. And I got a lot of conflicting information. Some people told me that a lot of places "accept" applications, but they don't do anything with them because they don't need anybody and the time and then just throw them out. So what would be the point of wasting your time going to some place filling out an application and they just throw it away because they are constantly accepting them? Or maybe it is a high turnover rate?

M.I.A. you are a smarty. You are great!

People all Over the World

I'm sad that Don Cornelius died. I think some people confuse him with the Rudolph character Yukon Cornelius. :P



Seriously what was all the hype about Leslie Carter? I've never heard of her. I had to Google her. Was she famous? As famous as Cornelius?

Love Peace and Soul!

Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Money

I went to apply for a Statue of Liberty waver job. I figured why not? I don't have any experience, and the job didn't call for any besides a high school diploma; which I already have. I didn't want to go the day before because going to a job interview on your birthday would be really depressing.

The DVD they showed for training was one of the most cheesiest things I ever saw. I wonder if there is one up on youtube or something. It could literally be a parody of a job training video. Plus they wanted the employee to do crazy things like handstands. (I could never do those) I'm not going to attempt gymnastic moves and get hurt and fall in the street. In a nutshell the DVD is essentially telling you to look crazy and perky and have fun doing it.

I sucked at it I was tired before I got there, and I really had no idea what I was suppose to be doing. They want you to twirl the sign like a baton, but you can't really. The sign is bulky and heavy and not stick shaped. I can twirl a baton or other stick shape items like brooms or mops.

There were a few problems along the way. I almost caused an accident on the street and I tore my pants on the cuff.

I'm really desperate for money!

Banned?

I have a big announcement tomorrow. It just happened to coincide with the beginning of the year.

I hate most of the words chosen this year from the banned list. Does that mean people shouldn't say that an airplane bathroom is occupied?

I'm very upset "winning" did not make the list. I would have bet money it would have. I even said it here. I would have lost a lot of money.

When I was a teen "blowback" was slang for returning the favor of oral sex. So I can't hear the word used in any context without giggling. (yeah I'm immature)

A lot of the words chosen just didn't bother me.

Better Than a Frog Can

To the overzealous Street Frog fan I don't know what you thought you were getting into. I thought you wanted screen caps and not copies of the cartoons. Sorry.
