JOB STUFF
this looking for a job thing is actually very very difficult for me
first off i don't even like going and picking up an application and turning it in,
it makes me feel very uncomfortable
but it doesn't end there, because no one ever gets hired just by turning in an application
i have to call and be all "I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU WENT OVER MY APPLICATION
I'M REALLY EAGER TO WORK THERE"
Now, granted, I am a very talented liar, but there are few things that are so unnatural to me as pretending to have ambitions for a job that I really don't want in the first place.
On top of this, I'm expected to do this with multiple places, while my father incessantly guilt-trips me about not trying hard enough, or not applying to enough places.
When I was a child and my family ate at McDonald's or the like, if ever I needed more sweet and sour sauce my father would insist I get it, and the thought of walking to the counter and asking an employee for more was so excruciatingly embarassing and uncomfortable for me that I ended up crying and eventually going without it. This is sort of how I feel about applying for and pursuing jobs in Richmond.
Not that I can go without. My father would kick me out of the house.
Anyway, I'm not trying to complain, I'm trying to say IF YOU KNOW OF A JOB IN RICHMOND WHERE YOU CAN GIVE ME A GOOD WORD, LET ME KNOW PLEASE.
I think the pain of pursuing a job might outweight the pain of being a pizza boy again, although I would feel sort of pathetic since I was so certain I was NOT going to be a pizzaboy this summer.
Plus i'm generally very content, whereas the last two summers I was not (with woman + writing well), such that I wouldn't get as easily depressed driving to new paris at midnight to deliver a pizza to a trailer.
NOTE TO SELF: stay in bloomington next summer, christ.
