Now Now Why Don't You Get a Job?
[ rakaur on Sun May 29 at 01:22 AM // category: life, work ]
In all honesty, I have no idea what to write about. I’m not particularly upset about anything today, which, for me, constitutes a good day.
My only complaint is my lack of employment. I’ve put applications in at countless places, and I haven’t had so much as one call me. Meanwhile, I know people that have been hired and quit three times, all the while I get nothing. If I don’t get a job by the next billing cycle, I won’t be able to keep my car. Aside from paying for my car, I’d like to get a phone. Any funds remaining would go for bills and maybe even gasp buying myself something every now and then. It’s been so long since I’ve had the money to just go out and spend on myself that I’m almost used to it. I think “man, it’d be nice if I could get a [some elitist item]” and then quickly dismiss it because I know I could never afford it. I used to upgrade my computer every year (or more often), but I don’t even keep up with hardware anymore (I used to read AnandTech every day) because I know I can’t afford to do anything to my computer. It’s so old now that I had to buy a USB2 PCI hub to even use my iPod (which is the newest thing I’ve had for a long time).
Of course, a bunch of people (yeah, like a bunch of people read my blog) are thinking that I have no right to complain. I mean, people are starving in India, right? Well, fuck India. The definition for “poor” is relative. That’s a concept that’s only hard to grasp if you’re a stuck up human rights Nazi.
I have no where to go with this. Let’s pretend I made a point.
So, basically, I need a job.
