Need Job With Benefits and More Money...
I just finished submitting an application to Walgreen’s about an hour ago. I could easily get some overnight shifts and even work right after getting out of Halloween Adventure. I know it sounds crazy, but I could really use the money. The last few months have been my poorest. I’ve barely had any food in my house for the last few weeks and I’ve been trying to stretch 20 bucks for about a week and a half. I haven’t been eating or sleeping all that well either. I can’t do anything or even treat myself to something cheap. So, I basically I’m depressed, angry and feel even more like shit than I ever have.
I got this magazine in the mail yesterday called Women for Hire. I must have ordered it at Pride or some other event and completely forgotten about it because it was quite a surprise. It has articles about different women and their careers, tips on networking and advertisements for job fairs and various job opportunities. It got me thinking. Why am I stuck in this fucking shit-hole? I need a better job with benefits and more money. I can’t deal with this bullshit anymore: this boredom and stress over the simplest things…this constant lack of communication and anger. I miss feeling as if I’m actually accomplishing something. I miss feeling appreciated. I miss being awarded for my intellect and strategy. This job is so fucking simple yet people keep making it seem as if it’s the hardest job in the fucking world. They keep overstressing things and assuming that everyone is a fucking idiot!
I’m smart and resourceful. I’m a quick learner. I’ve completed three years of college, but businesses/companies won’t hire me because I don’t have my degree yet. Well, I sure as hell won’t make enough money to for pay rent, utilities, groceries, phone bill, weekly MetroCards, loan payments and creditors and medical expenses. I can’t even afford to buy my asthma and allergy medications which why I been really sick and sensitive to the smallest irritations. I’m trying to a least make it a year at Halloween Adventure, but I am really starting to fall to pieces. I’m below the fucking poverty line and can barely afford the basic things I need. So, I’m hoping that I get this job at Walgreen’s. That will give me the extra money I need to work towards some of my goals. I need to finish my degree so I start working on a career and rising out of this ditch that has been taunting me.
