Job Search Woes
Let's start off with the fact that I now have a Bachelor's Degree. Searching for a job should not be this difficult. And it should be different from the last four (or more) years of searching for a summer job. Sadly, it is not.
I have applied many places....they all say when asked if they are hiring, "well, we are always taking applications, here fill one out". Translation: "We are not hiring, but will lead you on and never call you back". Sometimes when asked they will respond with, "Some of our people will be leaving and we will have some positions opening soon". Translation: "We will get your hopes up thinking we might actually call you back, but really we don't care about you so don't bother". Or such has been my experience thus far.
So on it goes. They say persistence in the key, but in my persistence my application and/or other important paper work has either been lost or failed to be submitted; failure on their part, not mine. Anyway, it has only been a week, but I am going crazy! Too much free time and no money! arr!
Otherwise, I am loving living down here. The house is pretty nice and I mom got me two goldfish--Gonzo and Beaker-- they are so cute. :) It is a good start for pets since I can't have a dog...yet.... :) Speaking of dogs. If you really want one, but can't have one, do NOT watch the clips of Breed All About It on the Animal Planet website. BAD IDEA. oops. :P
well, I should get back to job searching and filling out those super-fun applications! *sigh*

Good luck with getting a job! I'm still working at borders, hopefully full time, but let me know if you need/want a reference. Actually, where are you living again? I'll let you know if I come down to the area.
Hey, thanks. I am down in Amherst, MA now. Yea, lemme know if you are in the area and you and Mike and I could grab a beer or something.
