so for the first time ever, things havent gone my way the first time around.
I've applied for jobs, and that's a big deal, because I've never had to apply for jobsss, as in multiple, as in more than one, as in, i didnt strike it lucky just by putting my name to paper.
so i've applied to multiple jobs, especially for American University, since my dad works there. I think five maybe. I only got one interview. It led to a second interview. I got excited. They said they would call back the next week...It's now almost two weeks and they never called me back. The only reason I found out I DIDNT get the job is through my dad. BAH!
So now I continue my search. I found a new job posting for a magazine. I can't imagine how cool it would be. I mean, I hope it would be.
I just want to be happy about work again. Crate & Barrel is not it, it can't be, it won't be. It's for people who don't care about themselves, about having a life. It's about dedicating yourself to being pitied. A lot of the people who are "successful" have pitiful existences. They look run down. They are stressed. IT'S RETAIL! WE ARE NOT CHANGING THE WORLD! WE'RE CHANGING FOR THE WORST! bah! I mean seriously, do they not see it?
I want a "normal" job. I want a job where when I go home on Friday, I don't return till Monday. When I walk in, I don't wince when I realize who'll be the manager for the day. When I call in sick, it's not the end of the world. To take a vacation, it's not a big deal! I want vacation time in the first place! I only have three days right now, and the ONLY reason I have it is because my part time hours were rolled over when I became full time, people who just started Crate, they don't get ANY hours until they've been there for a year! I want holidays! I, just, want, to have a normal job! And I just want a job, not a career. Not yet, at least.
