(no subject)
So I was trying to fill out this application for a job as a textbook assistant. But then I realized that after all the work I would put in, I probably wouldn't even be considered. I know, this is not something I should do, I should be positive about it. But I hardly have any tangible office experience, although I'm fully certain that I could do almost anything office-related that was thrown at me. I hate to say it, but there's so many freakin people out there that need a job and I'm sure most of those people that are applying have more experience than me. *sigh* Plus I've never even written a cover letter before. I suck. I'm just lazy and don't wanna put forth any effort to get what I want. The deadline for the app is tomorrow, so yeah.
On a semi-positive note, I have two weeks off starting now. I'm using my vacation time for next week, but the week after that will be unpaid. I'm just glad I have some money saved up. I was going to go to California w/ Heather for a week, but those plans fell through. So I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. If I had a license I could rent a car and go somewhere fun for a day or so, but I don't. Oh well, I guess. I've really gotta make a list of some stuff to do though so I don't end up doing nothing everyday for two weeks.
So this kinda pissed me off. My sister asks me to go on a hike yesterday. So I got myself all psyched up for it all day. She picks me up and we go to my parents house. I'm sitting there waiting for her to change clothes. This is how our conversation went:
Me: "So are you ready?"
Her: "Oh, I was gonna go out with D***"
Me: "Uhhh, I thought we were going on a hike?? WTF? Your non-boyfriend calls and all of a sudden you don't wanna go?"
Her: "I do wanna go!"
Me: "Well obviously, I'm not gonna tell you that you can't go hang out w/ this guy. But that's pretty fucked up that you just ditch me like that!"
Her: "Thanks! I owe you one!"
All I have to say about this is that if the situation were reversed (which it NEVER would be because I would never just ditch out on family or a friend like that), she'd have a fit. I stayed completely calm about the situation because I knew if I got angry it would turn into something that it didn't need to. It's just ridiculous what kind of double standards our older sister/younger sister relationship has. It's always been like that, but my sister's never going to stop being selfish, so I am really not that surprised. But then I guess I've always let her get away w/ stupid shit like that because she's my younger sister and she "Doesn't know any better". They may have been the case when we were younger, but she's 23 for Pete's sake! Things will probably never change.
Well, I'm going to get out of this dark library and out into that beautiful sun + try and think of fun things to do. Ciao!
