Still jobless. Still a bum. And stressing out like it's nobody's business.
My uncle was supposed to be hooking me up with a job at the Diablo Canyons power plant during their outage. But he's been in North Korea and China, so communication has been minimal, and the opportunity passed. Awesome.
I applied to be a Nuclear Instrumentation Apprentice, which I have absolutely no qualifications for. To determine eligibility for the position, I have to take a test on all the material. I printed out a study guide that was 500 pages. My test is this Saturday. I hate studying, but that's all I've been doing. And that's all I'll be doing until Saturday. I have to learn all about electricity, circuitry, physics, and all these other crazy hard subjects that I know nothing about. Good thing I was a sociology major...
If somehow, someway, by some sort of miracle, I could pass this test and get this job, it would mean the world to me.
More realistically though, if I don't. I'm going to be real hard pressed for money. Especially since my student loan repayments have begun. I don't even want to imagine what it's going to be like when I fail this test.
Fucking economy. I blame my woes on you. But you're just a scapegoat for my laziness and lack of motivation.
This sucks.
