Employ the non-athletic

Okay, so now's the time for me to run over a list of why I've been so busy that I haven't posted. First, you guys caught me at the end of my school year, so I had to deal with a plethora of things, such as creating a film for my senior project, creating a video for an english project, calculus exams (though I barely studied...er...rarely...) that I didn't study for, not mention a paper for english, which was enjoyable.

My paper was on how well zombies were incorporated into "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Seth Grahame-Smith. To start, I wasn't informed that the book, which we had to buy, came in a week before I got it. From there, the workload I had made it so that in one night, I had to write the paper, and edit the english video. I couldn't finish the book in time, so with a few well placed illustrations, I was able to fumble my way through it. The paper was required to be 4 pages, yet I managed to make 6. On top of that, I got a reference more than what was required, using a movie and a dictionary for two of them. I am good with minimal effort, as can obviously be seen by my lack of articles here.

After school finished up for me (I regret not doing anything cool for the last day), I worked on employment. Unfortunately, KFC/Taco Bell was the one that was hiring, and showed interest in me. Feeling confident that I could beat out 2 other people (hiring 5, 7 applicants), I didn't apply elsewhere (not to mention nobody else was hiring). I was called in for interviews, and was told they'd get back to me when they made a decision. I've waited for about 3 weeks now, and I've had to call many times just to speak with somebody. It's annoying, and now it's too late to find any position willing to hire somebody with a screwed up schedule (Marching band makes weekends a pain to navigate around) and who's going to be leaving at the end of August for college.

It's frustrating to me that the only way to get a job is either through family connections, or to be an athlete in your home town. I hate it so much that my friend has 2 jobs, and is trying to get a third, and yet I can't even get anything more than freelance and weekend jobs. I want something fulltime, and I know several people with this problem. You cannot get a job without experience, but you can't get experience without a job.

Screw that. I promise that if I get rich, I'll pay kids who I deem worthy better wage to do something. I don't know what. It might be somebody to help me get better at FEAR, my current addiction (gamer tag is A-Helpless-Kid). It may be somebody who'll work on making a way for me to not smell like a combination of cigarettes and cheese (parmasean). I don't care, but it's not fair that we ignore people who are invaluable to work over somebody who's either incompetent, or has income...

Go ahead and reply with whatever. It's not like you read this blog anyway.

  1. Ugh, work sucks... all I do is babysitting. It's actually pretty good: I get paid to watch somebody else's TV and eat their food, works for me :)
    Other than that, it seems that every shop, cafe, company, whatever, is just so against teenagers, no matter how hard working or normal they are. I swear everyone thinks we're all drugged up hoodies...
    My suggestion is you become renowned for you loving manner by doing a load of charity work in your area. Fame by niceness. But who has the time for that anyway? :S:S
    And I totally read this blog!! xx
