this is so frustrating
I thought today was going good, until like 20 min ago.
So I got a temp job that lasts for 5 days. This is good b/c now I'll have my money to move, and hopefully some more work after that. Yesterday I went up to the site to get an hour of training (training to answer the phones... um, yeah....). On my way back, I got a call from a legal temp agency for an interview next week. I was really excited about that b/c it pays literally twice as much, and they usually want you to work like 60 hrs a week for document review.
The admin asst. is my contact person for this gig. She's all cute and lil, and reminds me of a lil cousin or something. You can tell she's 22 only b/c she works there lol. If I saw her on the street I'd think she was knocking on 20.
As we're closing down the desk, she asked me if I usually temp. I recognized she wanted the dirt on me so I said no, I just graduated from law school and am job hunting.
So Miss 22 yr old, just graduated in May from undergrad proceeds to give me career advice. That was unsolicited. Now yall remember from previous rants, that I HATE unsolicited advice. Mainly b/c people rush in to tell you all this stuff, that you either already know and its not helpful or didn't know before yet its not helpful. She yammers on and on about how if I were to work as a legal secretary, it'd be a great way to get my foot in the door, b/c that's what she did when she graduated college. She took a different career path, and ... (eyes glazed over here so I don't remember the rest).
Its one thing if experienced people give you unsolicited advice... but if you've just finished with undergrad, and I didn't ask you shit,so STFU bitch!!!
Then I get home, and this boring ass dude that I know is trying to come by the crib. First of all, you can barely rub two sentences together to hold my attention, and we struggle on the phone every single time. Second of all, its nasty as hell that you think you're gonna come over here after being at work all day and try to fuck (cos if he was just trying to SEE me we would've gone out). No musty balls near the face, thanks.
To top off my night, I called Debra cos she called me last week and I didn't get back to her. Turns out her and her bf broke up. They were like my favorite couple; to be around them was slightly nauseating but it always gave you hope that your special person was out there too. They dated for 2.5 yrs; she was ready to take it to the next level, he wasn't. So I was really sad and upset about that...
Then she tells me that she just got a job. Today. Starts on Monday.
While I'm happy for her, it just reminds me that I don't have the aroma of a job yet. Mainly cos I don't wanna do any of this shit. None of it. I don't wanna write your briefs, I don't wanna lend none of my knowledge, skills and abilities to your workplace. No I don't want to enhance my career with you. I just want my apartment, some gas and some groceries.
So I realize that I haven't been searching on Washington Post jobs, where she found her job. So I look on there... and I swear fore God that everything is either an admin asst., some shit that pays $41K but you need like 7 years of experience, or an ad for a recent college grad to sell something.
So if you hear that they've found me floating in the Potomac, yall will know why. I haven't been looking long but its already bringing out the bitch in me.
