Made of suuuuuck
So I've been job hunting recently. >;p~~ ohgod, it burns This is, as anyone who has hunted for a job in the past EVER knows, an activity of fun rivaled only by that which can be gained from Chinese water torture.
It's impossible to get a job these days, anyway, without already knowing someone who works where you're applying. Because the first thing employers do when there's an opening coming up is to ask their current employees if they "know anyone looking for a job." And everyone has at least one friend who needs a job.
Craigslist is useless as well, unless I was looking to let some perv take naked photographs of me. ::rolls eyes:: The one job I did manage to find there, which I'd be able to have reasonable confidence in getting hired for, would be doing essentially the same thing I did at my old job. Which I quit and moved to Los Angeles to get away from, because it's too many hours of (mostly) thankless work for too little money, and didn't leave me with any opportunity to get myself into the field I actually hope to have a career in, someday. Plus, this new-job-which-is-the-same-as-my-old-job would require an hour's commute, one way, and Xpyne can't lend me her car all day, every day.
I picked up some applications today from the shopping mall down the block, and will be keeping my fingers crossed...
I did, with the last of my money, buy myself a Sanzo/Goku doujinshi and a pair of L and Light face-changeable figures as a late birthday present, and had the little sister take grainy cellphone pics for me when they came in the mail. :D
It's Light's birthday! L has gotten him a present.
What could it be? I'm not sure I like the look on L's face...
Light: ....You got me a hair barrette.
L : Heh heh.
The God of the New World is not pleased.
To avoid an untimely end snit, L quickly hands Light another gift.
The look on Light's face has L reconsidering his impulse-buy.
L is forced to admit that he has only brought this upon himself.
(Yes, that is a little tiny handcuff set. X3 ~♥)
Writing has been slow going as well, clearly. <-- tell us something we don't know! >:O But I'm feeling myself starting to get back into the swing of things... I did get a cute idea for a PWP from the doujinshi I bought, so we'll see how that goes. :3 I also had a dream a few days ago, in which I was reading something short posted to LJ that had to do with likening the ikkou's sexual attitudes/preferences to their preferences when it came to chocolate (don't ask me how my mind works), so I may see if I can remember enough to rip off this imaginary author form this idea into something coherent. :B
Ohhhh gaaaaawd, I just want a job so I can stop looking for one, already! TAT
