Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); THIS IS A 16+ year old topic. Yes. That means little miss billy can't post in here because since he's twelve, whatever little job he can do doesn't mean a single thing to me or you. I know, miss johnson always needs her seventeen kids watched and you're more than willing to play with sixteen diapers and balls for a measly twenty dollars that you can put toward another video game.

Okay. So guys, I know there's some older ones out there on this forum. I'm currently running a 7.7% chance at hitting an interview with any single application, and a current 0% chance at getting a job.
That means a lot, seeing as how I've applied to more than fifteen places. Some are food related, some are modeling related, some are computer related, and some are clothes related. Yup. The economy blows. BOTH my internships, not just one, but BOTH have been ripped apart due to cutbacks by both companies.
All my friends, or well.. most.. have been stuck in this whirlwind economy trying to find ways to make ends meet. I'm trying to pay off my ever-larger incurring debt that I am making including the ever-growing list of things I need. I haven't yet applied to internships outside the other two where I was supposed to get in because my resume sucks..

So now, I'm stuck putting together a resume. You know what sucks? I used to work a shit ton back in the day at Kroger and I made a pretty good name for myself but in a fit of rage, I had quit without notice because they had sand in their vaginas one day and wouldn't let me leave to go wakeboarding on a nice summer day. I stripped in the parking lot, put on a swimsuit, and left. IN FRONT OF MY MANAGERS. :] That's a great way to say "**** you" and leave on a bad note. Yup. So now I'm stuck down to only one work related reference. Guys, when it comes to stupid shit like this - it hits and sucks. Never quit without notice.

So, Johnny boy. How has the economy been ****ing with you? I can't even afford the following:
Beer.
Weed.
Condoms.
And that makes my life suck miserably.

Outsider, you're pretty much black, so you're double ****ed. What the hell have you been doing?

Also. Anybody play Black and White? I've just beat Black and White including Creature Isle and have been playing Black and White 2 while waiting for the wakeboard to hit me in the face like a rocket ship.

Do a barrel roll!
Well. An update on my situation:
Just applied to a couple more internships. Got a call back from two now, both are $12.50 an hour. Waiting to hear from them. Both are IT, one is web design and the other is technical support for some major company where I just go around and fix computers like some bitchboy - but I get to take my time!

Probably both are down the drain though. Don't worry. My modeling agency is full-hit too. They are really strung out and are leasing their services. Obama hasn't done anything for them and has just crashed the economy. When I first started, I was landing gigs at $50 an hour for upwards of five hours a day, probably once every three weeks, and then sometimes a random $500 paycheck from someone buying my prints. I was pretty much pooling in like $700 every two months by doing pretty much nothing but showing myself off and being nice. Yup, that lasted about two months and then the economy went to hell and I haven't got a call from my modeling agency for almost a full two months.

My friend who used to make 15$/hr nights at the local pub quit because he got four hours a week making close to about $6/hr most of which was taxed. He's searching, just like me.

Quitting without notice isn't too bad, especially for a company such as the one I quit for. No advancement opportunities and so on. I'm not too worried about that. I am just pissed that they came out with a new position that I could've been qualified for, but it's no good anyways. Friends all applied there and only one out of the thirty or so got a job - because his resume is kick ass.

Also, it's not just America's fault for this global economy wreck. The same investment game played out in the UK stock market and in the JPN stock market. America hit the first few dominoes, but then the shockwave pulverized the other two stock markets since they are so interconnected with many global companies. Now all three have to try and get back up, and Obama thinks that by lifting America's up, that it would lift the other two up..

in our dreams.
