the last couple of days could have been titled "adventures in selling out"
i can't believe the things that came out of my mouth in an attempt to get a job that pays $7.75.
i'm so ashamed. i can't believe how i dressed. i wanted to kick my own ass.
them: "we have very strict grooming standards. you aren't allowed to wear any necklaces, braclets, more than one pair of earrings, and you can't have any visible tattoos. you also have to buy your own black shoes, black belt, and black socks. will that be a problem?"
me: "no."
the things you'll do when your cupboards are bare....
now here's the catch:
the shirts they issue are short sleeved, and my wrists are both tattooed. maybe they'll let me wear black wristbands over them.
or maybe i should get some self respect and tell 'em to fuck off.
i have a bad feeling about this.
was it Thoreau who said, "Beware all ventures which require new clothes."??
i probably misquoted that.

Pete and Pete is easily the best show ever. Most people will tell you simpsons or seinfeld, but they're wrong. It's the Brother's Wigley. I mean, Iggy Pop played someone's dad.

Damn. That sucks. I was at my job for a year and then all of a sudden they enforced this new dress code. I could only wear 2 earrings (I originally wore 6 in each ear), no visible tattoos, no khaki pants, we had to wear black pants and black shoes from there on out with black socks. Oh and I couldn't dye my hair anything but a natural color (which I got around by dying it black and blonde or other versions of that). It still sucked though. But a job is a job, and if it's the only one you can find, then I guess you do kinda have to deal with it. Sorry to hear about that.
