What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

Thanks, Tsuki. I ain't okay but I'll be fine. I'm always fine.

Right. The listing being removed from the site could just be because they aren't taking any more applications; or they may have already chosen people. The month's nearly over and I've heard nothing. I can't sit around in limbo like this any longer. I need to start looking for something else. I need to start making money.

What a movie. Marvel's fans are just mad.

I've already come up with 100 topics. I'll take a break to rest my hand, then see if I can come up with the next 265. At that point, I feel like I'm enough ahead that I can start setting this thing up.

Are you applying for jobs one at a time? Keep at it it is difficult - I've been there. I saw about thirty rejections/ignorals before I got my first paid job, and I know people who've seen more. But you'll get it

What I did was apply for literally everything I could, particularly when I dropped out of University first time round - everything from temporary to seasonal to full time and part time and everything in between. How about dropping Résumés into places here and there? Probably not so good for graduate jobs but it could get you something to tide you over until something else presents itself

Don't give up Shug

Great news TSOL! Any one-up against cancer is a victory in my book

I need to check how that bidding on eBay's going.

Well, the thing is, I've had two paid jobs before and both ended in disaster because I did basically that. I put in applications just about anywhere and everywhere (my resume currently says basically "I finished uni" and nothing else, so it's not really going to help much). The problem is, I'm not suited for 90% of jobs that exist in this area. I can't do anything that is in a fast paced environment or anything that involves having to constantly talk to other people; I worked answering telephones for a couple of months and in a fast food joint for 3 DAYS, and in both cases I became far too stressed out to enjoy anything about my life. I cannot and will not do any of those sorts of jobs ever again because I know I'll just end up having to quit and that's just going to make me look bad. I'm not cut out for that kind of thing. I'd have applied for more than one thing at a time now if there was more than one opening that was something I could do.

The one job I applied to was for a part time temp position at the local library. Not only was it the only job available that seems fitting to me, but I know that I'm not ready to take on full time. I need a lot of recharging time after being out in public (it seriously kills me) and I need to get acclimated to a certain job before trying to take on more hours; I know better than to bite off more than I can chew. The position in question looked very promising, considering library work is the ideal setting for me, and they wanted people on evenings (5-9) and Saturdays. The interview went really well too, and it's true that I still may get it (I'm supposed to get an email by the end of the month either way). The job is meant to start as part time and temporary, but the director told me that at the end of that period of time she wants to try to keep a few people on permanent. She seemed very impressed that I have experience with computers and tablets/phones and helping people print things, and she liked that I graduated from the same uni she did. The only requirements for the position were that a person be at least 16 and know how to use computers; so I stand a good chance of getting a position still, maybe, considering everything.

If I don't get it, though... well I live in a small town. There's nothing else quiet or semi-peaceful to do for work and I can't drive, so I can't go work in another town or do some other kind of job here. So I don't have a lot of things available that I'm actually capable of, which is why I haven't applied to anything else.

That said, I'm not giving up, and am working on something that should be able to help me get things going and is something I'd be able to continue should the library get back in contact with me. I'm currently compiling a list of topics I could write about on a blog (I usually stop using my blogs because I'll get up and not know what to talk about that day, so in order to combat that, I'm going to get myself a year's worth of topics in advance so that each day I just have to look at the topic and write a couple thousand words). Once I've figured that out, I'm going to look very thoroughly into using a blog to advertise for others, like Amazon; which is basically like monetizing YouTube videos. People clicking the ads would provide me with a small cut of the profit; I don't expect this to be highly successful, but hopefully it will bring in some money, slow though it may be, and give me some way to work towards the things I need to while I try to locate and get hired for some kind of job I can actually do. Additionally, the blog itself would be something else I could put on a resume, which would make me look better in the future.

The more time I spend here the more I question if I belong here. Seems like all I do is make people mad or feel bad.

[Carl]

Oh quit that, T-saur, of course that's not all you do. You do have a habit of saying things you oughtn't, but it's fine, people can and do forgive and forget. Of course you belong.
