Back On The Level

Jul 12, 2009 04:51

I feel really shitty lately. I'm not sure why, it continues even on the days when I go out of my way to ensure that I get a full night's sleep. It doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference. I still feel shitty in the morning, just less so ( Read more... )

No one around here has a computer, so there isn't any money in that. And even the ones that do don't have money enough for me to fix it.

I'm rapidly becoming a borderline sociopath. I'm not about to move into something that requires smiling at people I can't stand even more often than I currently do. It'd be different if I could quit my day job to do it, but a sporadic $15/hr (the most I could make doing that) wouldn't be enough to make ends meet.

"I got a rejection notice from Target the other day. Official "fuck off" notice. I'm debating if it's worth calling Eddie (my old ETL from 1476) and having him vouch for me. I don't know if that'll help. And even if it does, am I sure I want to go back to the company that I ran away from practically full-tilt? I know I need money, but I keep wondering if there's a better way."

I wonder if the guy who left at the Tampa store left a nasty note in your file before he left?

I have no doubt that he went out of his way to make me ineligible for rehire. I'm thinking if I trash his competency and then call Eddie to back me up and give a good word, I might have a chance at overturning whatever parting gift he might have snuck in there.

But that still leaves the question... is it worth going through all that trouble? Is Target really worth that?

Probably not. Have you thought of reselling your soul - this time to Walmart?

I can barely stand shopping there when I have to.

I'd last maybe a week before I decked a hood rat.

Not to mention the pay's shitty, and Walmart is evil.

Maybe I should visit. I need a vacation soon and Tampa is as good a destination as any. If you should decide to visit, I am just right off 20 in Smith County, Texas.

You're welcome here, but my apartment is pretty small, and might be a problem if you're allergic to cats.

I'm not planning on going to Texas anytime soon... too many Jesus freaks per square mile. An obvious atheist would get lynched in about five minutes. Y'all are the state that drags black people to death behind pickup trucks, after all.

And besides, don't you live with your family? It's extremely awkward to have house guests in that situation.
