Working Girl

Now I wrote this post while I was job hunting, over a year ago, and for some reason forgot to post it.

So I am posting it now. Since then I currently work at three jobs, all ones I am very happy to be at. But prior to that, it was a long, hard, rejection-filled process,

So most think that after graduation they will get a job right away. They studied hard, worked hard, interned, etc.

But that’s not how it is. Finding a job is hard out there.

When I was looking almost everything either wanted me to give my time for free or have ten years experience. I guess I should have started working as a preteen.  Oh wait, that’s illegal.

I mean have you ever seen The Secret of My Success starring Michael J. Fox? That movie speaks to me like no other.

When he starts trying to get a job, no one will hire him for his age. Too short, too young, etc.

It can be annoying. Real annoying.

But one day you will find something that uses your particular skill set.

No I’m not talking about that.

It might not be what you were expecting. It might not be what you thought you would do. But you keep hunting and you will find someone something.

Hope you enjoyed that blast from the past Yep it a lot of nos, but then I finally got a yes (3) and I’m very happy at all the places I work at now.

Good luck all you still searching out there!

It’s That Time of the Year Again

So it’s that time of the year again.

Seriously, when the girl scout cookies come out its over. Don’t even try to hold back as you just know:

No, stop! Alright.

I always tell myself that I will buy one box of Thin Mints, but usually end up with the Mints and Tagalongs, or Samoas, or Savannah Smiles, or…. Even though they’ve hiked up the prices to be being $5

I know, right? And you know the only reason they get away with it is that they aren’t sold all year round. Those jerks.

And you know once you start eating, it doesn’t just stop. Nope, you eat and eat and eat and eat, etc.

And as you eat and eat and eat, etc. It gets to the point where you start telling yourself this so that you feel better.

You know those people who are always trying to prove who’s the stronger one? Well:

Writing this so makes me want to eat some. I mean seriously, I need someone to watch me with those things.

I sometimes think I need someone to keep me on track.

But then I think screw it!
