Long time no talk.
Good lord...for someone who has nothing but free time on my hands, I sure don't post very often.
I've just been very very tired, which makes me very very grumpy. Our neighbor is doing some sort of work on their house. And it always seems to be on the wall closest to ours. The hammering usually starts at 8am and continues until the afternoon. So I'm woken up earlier then I'd like, and I can't even take a nap if I wanted to. And occasionally if I'm lucky I get to hear very loud spurts of bad Michael Jackson disco-era songs.
I never seem to live next store to the guy who likes punk rock while working.
I've gone on many interviews, talked to literally 8 temp agencies, and have watched way more Gilmore Girls then I'd care to admit to. I had a very promising job interview yesterday, but time is not in my favor. I was the first one, and there's a weeks worth after me. So I'm nervous, because no matter how awesome or perfect I am for that job, I have a dozen people who can wow them even more to contend with. I never seem to be the lucky person with the final interview. Quite the bummer.
And I'm under even more pressure now that are finances are constricting. We'll be in a very hard way come next month and its influx of bills. And its frustrating, because its not like I'm not trying my damnedest. I go on interview after interview, send out multiple resumes every day. This city just sucks...there's not enough jobs for the hundreds of people who are applying for them. It makes me want to tear my hair out. And having to go to the suburbs for work seems completely absurd to me. Why the hell did I move to the city then??? I moved out of the suburbs to get away from them and the people who dwell there. But this city seems backwards, because its not the job mecca most cities are...it seems to say "fuck off" to its own people and make them find a living elsewhere.
Very frustrating. So yes...bad mood all around.
Oh...and other things that have irked me as of late:
- Sam getting kicked off of Top Chef. WTF???? He's been consistently good, all of the judges seemed to like his final dishes. It was bullshit, total bullshit! No one seemed to like Ilan's desert, but he got to stay. Why? Because he's having a childish fight with Marcel (who should have been kicked off ages ago!) And why would the viewing public want to see a civil end of the competition between Ilan and Sam when they can have childish antics between Marcel and Ilan. I'm still deciding if I'm going to boycott the season finale.....because the show is just not the same without Sam!
- Hipper then thou companies. I interviewed with one earlier this week, and it was definitely in my top 5 worst interviews of all time. I just felt uncomfortable and miserable every second. I was even contemplating getting up at one point and just walking out. Because seriously...if you have zero interest in me why waste everyones time. I felt like I was defending myself the entire time, instead of normal interview practices where you are merely explaining your past. Ugh. Just thinking about the whole experience pisses me off. There's something about uppity non-profit people, who are in it because its hip and not because they have any desire to help their fellow man. ARGH!
- not getting my W2 from my past employer. She's a complete psycho bitch, and now I'm lucky enough to not have any tax paperwork from her. Everyday that goes by I regret taking her stupid job. It was like 3 months of constant headaches that have just seemed to grow every day after she laid me off. I wish I had a voodoo doll or something...seriously. She should not be allowed to treat people this way.
I'm just full of piss and vinegar today. Hopefully things will begin to turn around shortly. Or else, I may just have to start doing drastic things like praying 12 hours a day and playing lotto tickets.
