Today was supposed to be my "job hunting" day. I really wanted to work at the vet clinic off of Southfield, but now the new age to work there is 18.. go figure. I called Tim Horton's yesterday, and they said they were looking for afternoon shifts.. from 3:30 to like 8, which is like perfect 4 me. So I went an got an application yesterday. I went there today to drop it off, and the manager is like "well, we aren't really looking for more people to work in the afternoon, we want ppl to work during the day." I was thinking WTF.. so that kinda pissed me off. Then I go to Big Boy's by Sears and get an application. The owner or w/e asks me what I'm interested in doing, and I hafta look like an idiot and say "idk" cuz how the hell am I suposed to know.. I have no experience in anything. After that, I go to Dunkin' Doughnuts by Kroger. I go in to get an application cuz they said to pick one up yesterday if I wanted to. I get up there, and this girl prolly not much older than me says they don't have any. So I write my name and number on a fricken napkin and leave. Well, as I'm backing out, I get to this point where I straighten my car and go forward. I see alot of snow, but it was one of those moments where you think, you just don't react, lol. So being a complete fuckin moron, I attempt to drive over the "snow" which turns out to be solid ice, and my damn car gets stuck. I tried reversing, then going forward, but my wheels barely even moved. I panicked, jumped outta the car, and attempted to get ridda the snow with my hands, lol. Amazingly, that didn't work! So I go back into the doughnut place and tell the girl what happened, and I asked for a shovel. So I go back out there, and get rid of all the snow I can underneath the car and around the tires. I thought it mighta helped a lil, but when I tried backing out, I still couldn't move. I tried shoveling some more, but I realized it wasn't going to do anything. I go back in, give the chick the shovel, and she says she'll call her boyfriend. So like 5 or 10 minutes later, this guy shows up and follows me out to the car. He looks at it, then trys to "rock it" to get it loose. That didn't work, and like 5 minutes later, he left, and told me 2 wait in the car while he goes to his friends house to get some chains. At that point, I tried calling my mom but the line was busy. I got ahold of Dave and talked to him some.. then I got ahold of Steve, and he said he'd go over there. I go back into Dunkin Doughnuts, and the chick tells this other worker that I'm stuck.. he doesn't seem to care. I go back outside and start kickin away snow, and the worker comes out like 10 min later smoking a cig, and looks at the car. He don't really say much, except he'll get me a shovel. He went in, and never came back out, helpful! After that, some other guy pulls up to me and asks if I want help.. he tries to get me out, but he can't either. I finally get ahold of my mom, and then Steve shows up. We try pushing the car, but it don't budge. Then outta nowhere, three other guys show up, and I put the car in reverse, and they all pushed me out. That was such a relief, lol. So, I ended up spending over an hour there, trying to get my car outta ice. I don't even know why I attempted to drive over it. I guess I'm just a complete idiot. I think my hands r frostbitten from the ice, and my legs are all bruised from hittin the car and slippin when I was kicken at the ice. Let's just say, after impressing them with my high intelligence, I'm guessing I won't get a job there.. ha
