ARGH!!!!
*kicks the wall a few times.*
I think I'll kill my mom before I ever get out of the house. She's being really rude and sarcastic because she knows I don't have my cover letter done yet, and that I'm being slow with it. It's none of her fucking business basically, because it's my employment, but she's now threatened to make me start paying room and board. If that's the case, even though my parents are convinced I don't know how to manage my money or be able to live on my own, then I'll move out and pay to have a small place of my own with utilities and such.
I'm too lazy to write out more because I'm still pissed off, so here's what I wrote in my thread on Gaia:
"Basically what the title says... I've tried looking for a job, I'm just not very enthusiastic about it. I've tried at the mall and other locations, but her main problem right now is I'm supposed to be writing a cover letter but it's getting done very slowly.
I have very little paid working experience, and no experience in the field I'm applying for (to be a receptionist). My only paid job was a waitress at a local restaurant that exploited and ripped off its staff, breaking about 5 or 6 labor laws in the process. Yes complaints have been filed before, but they haven't been shut down. They know what they do is illegal, but they don't care. Anyways, I digress. Because of my lack of work experience as anything other than a waitress, for me, it's hard to write a cover letter promoting my good points, when very few apply to this receptionist job. It pays well though, which is why I want to try for it.
Edit: I've tried applying at retail stores, and places in the mall like at clothing stores and such. As long as I don't have to do a lot of customer service or work on my own, then I'm fine. I'm being a little picky right now, but again to me it's not the end of the world if I don't get a job. My first job left me with some issues when it comes to working, so there's some jobs I won't apply for. I've tried retail, but they don't call back. So I have no problem with working in a retail store like London Drugs, etc, just for the record.
My mom keeps asking about it, and when I tell her it's not done, she gets sarcastic and rude. Just a few minutes ago she threatened to make me pay room and board. I know she has the right to do that, as I'm 19 in August, but I doubt she'd ever do it. I told her right back I'd have no problem moving out and living with a friend. Hell if my bf was ok with it, I'd move out and live with him and his dad and pay them right. I really don't care, I don't like my mom too much right now anyways.
I've told her it's my business and I'd like her to leave me the hell alone about it. I'm tempted to tell her to fuck off, but I'm pretty sure she'd yell at me that "only immature people use that type of language."
Any suggestions on what I could do? I will get the cover letter done, I just want to do it at my pace. The only reason I need a job, for the record, is for spending money - I have no plans to move out soon (they got cancelled), so it's not like I need a job to pay for rent or anything like that."
More will be updated later. She's just pissing me off lately. Oh, and she got a book for me from the library but I had no interest in it so I lied and said I read a little. Well she found some passages she wanted to read to me, and I said I wanted to read it myself. She flipped out and said she wanted to see my reaction, which is dumb because I would've faked a reaction. I told her to rip up some paper to mark the pages and I'd read them on my own, and she bitched at me and said to forget it. Yes, she actually said ripping up the paper would take too much work. *rolls her eyes*
FUCKING PARENTS!!! *goes off to vent*
P.S - Addy I got your letter and mailed a reply!! ^_^
