God damn it I'm turning into a recluse again because I have no money and I hate when anyone offers to buy anything for me. I need a job, but I'm still too stubborn to just get a shitty labour job.
The guy that interviewed me finally called back, and I must have just slept past the call so he left a message. "Sorry to do this over the phone, we hired someone with more experience blah blah blah" all the shit I figured by now, then he says he could give me interview tips and junk. Blah. I thought it went alright, I know some things I would have changed but for my first serious interview I thought it was ok. I called back, and then again today but he didn't answer and I never feel like leaving messages on voicemails... stubborn again. Oh well. There's another job in the oil and gas field that I'll apply for, only to be told I don't have experience again (like I don't already realize this). I wish I just lived in Vancouver or Toronto or San Jose or New York or fucking ANYWHERE that has electrical engineering shit. I felt like a complete jackass when the interviewer guy was like "you do know this is a CIVIL job, right?". Oh well, again. At least the oil and gas one will be more pay (not that I'll get it anyways, but I can hope can't I?) even though it'll be a gayer job. That's the kind of shit that Kyle does and he hates his life when he's working. "Hey you should apply for a job where I work, oh and by the way I hate this fucking job I'm bored out of my mind"
Fuck it. So far my mom has started to get on my ass, and God help me if I don't have a job by the time she's off work for the summer. I think my dad realizes that I really don't want to work at a labour job and so far he's ok with it as long as I'm still applying to places and putting a little effort into it. I'm adding short wave radio to my list of new hobbies. It's such a nerdy thing to do, but I figure it would be cool to get high and listen to some korean or cuban or whatever country's propaganda. I just need to find someone as fucked up as I am. I wish Brennan lived here, I was just remembering how we used to stand around in the middle of Costco and stare off into different directions until someone else noticed and started laughing at us. Good times. Hell, I would rather work at Costco again than a shitty labour job. Daamn. Oh and it's Friday night and I'm going to sit at home playing video games and shit, I am just the coolest cat around and in no way is that depressing. Oh I was listening to music the other day and a Regina Spektor song came on that I hadn't heard that was pretty funny.
Love Affair
There was a love affair in this building
the kind of love affair
which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way
or have you heard
he was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer
and mothers prefer doctors and law-yers
Yet despite this imperfection
he was clean looking and respectable looking
and you'll never find a mother
who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe Vera plants by the window
healthy teeth in his mouth
healthy hair on his head
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
the kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers
Yeah, engineers are the shit. I'm waiting for my goddamn northern lights to show up. Fuck me I type too much.
