Money
This economy is screwing me up. For three months I have been looking for a decent job. That may be an exaggeration, but really I have been kind of picky so it has been a while. My only rule is to not work in the fast food industry; I can't stand another ignorant customer asking why I have to charge them for extra meat or why it take ten minutes for bread to bake. I've applied nearly everywhere at the Friendly Center and everyone has the same response: We've already hired for seasonal help. It is getting very frustrating and I am quickly running out of money to boot. I'll be damned if I have to go home over Christmas break. Yesterday I even applied for a stockroom position at Petsmart, where the shifts are only at three to five a.m. in the morning. I feel like every day that passes I sink to a new low. Already I live in a drafty house with considerable plumbing problems, filled with two of the most fucking annoying dogs that have ever lived, two roommates that secretly loath each other, and neighbors who just like to come over to drink all of our alcohol. Adulthood is turning out to be kinda lame.
I guess I can't really complain that much. I'm doing really well in school this semester and I have a wonderful girlfriend that is willing to fully support me until I get a job. But I guess that's what eats me the most. I don't want to be dependent on anyone, I don't want any debt on my plate. I don't want to be tied down; not here, not now. I love Greensboro, but I know if I have to stay here too long it will eat my soul. There's too much sadness here. I need to be able to go somewhere where I don't have to worry about making my friends feel better about themselves or trying to repair something those fucking dogs have destroyed.
At times I feel overextended and others I feel like I'm not doing enough. I hate to say it, but money seems like the only solution right now. I hope something comes through soon.
