I seriously cannot.
Fucking.
Win.
No no.
The laws of the universe are SPECIFIALLY structured against ME and ONLY ME.
So. Yeah.
Its been two years since I got my car; and everytime I THINK somethings being done to get it working, it all goes wrong.
My grandfather sits up in his store, back in his little office, watches TV, and sleeps. That is seriously all. he. does.
But then, when I ask him why my car is not fixed, he tells me he's soooooo bussy with work.
right.
I'm sure.
And I'm not exagerrating that, either; all the girls who work in that store tell me what really goes on up there. And they're on him to fix the damn thing just as much as I am.
But I called up there today to see what the status of my car is, and he tells me he's too busy to go pick it up and take it to the guy who's supposed to fix it.
HOWEVER!!! He wasn't so busy that he didn't have time to pull apart SOMEBODY ELSE'S transmission and fix THAT. Because that's what he was doing when I called. Fixing a transmission.
He has time. To fix a transmission.
But, NO NO!! He has not the time to fix my car.
But he has time to fix.
Someone's transmission.
I have had this car for TWO YEARS.
AND IT HAS AN OIL LEAK
THAT IS EASIER TO FIX THAN PULING APART A TRANSMISSION.
Because I already know what needs to be done to fix the oil leak and if I knew a lick about cars I would FIX IT MYSELF.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE HALF OF MY PROBLEMS.
I have applied to every person on GOD'S GREEN EARTH who are looking for work.
I've been back and forth across this county more times this summer than I can count on my fingers AND toes. I have probably sacrificed an entire FORREST'S worth of paper apply for jobs all over this county.
And I haven't heard back from a single one of them.
Not one.
But then, Emily tells me to apply for Home Depot as a cashier, because they're looking for cashiers. She basically guarantees that I'll at least be considered by them because they're desperate for cashiers.
So, I go through their application process on their website.
I go through process TWICE because the application got reset once.
And then, I wait.
Because, I'm supposed to wait two days to give them time to have seen it, before I call them.
So today is Friday. I applied Wednesday.
Time to give them a call.
But before I do that, I decide to check my application to see if there's any indication on the website of its status.
You know what I discovered?
Apparently, when the website reset my application, and I filled it out again, it failed to reregister the job I had applied for.
So, Home Depot has an application for two days with all my stats, but no acctual application.
I wasted two FREAKIN' days waiting for them to call me, when technically I hadn't applied for a job.
So everything is fixed on their site.
But I have to wait ANOTHER two days; and they probalby won't look at it over the weekend so now I have to wait until MONDAY to call.
And that puts me behind ANOTHER week.
I'm telling you,
I CANNOT win.
It is impossible.
