Connected again!

  Well, I'm officially moved in with Rian, and as of a couple days ago, we finally have cable and internet. It took awhile to get the money to even get it installed, and after installation, it took like 3 days to even get the internet to work on my piece of crap computer. It still says it doesn't work, but I'm here, so apparently it's confused.

So... my life... It's been pretty interesting recently. I can't even begin to tell all the random stories of how awesome I am.  Well, I could begin, but it'd be all stream of consciousness, and I don't want to do that right now.  I'd say... 99% of my readers know all the exciting stuff already, since the very few who read this either got a call/text/Myspace message from me, learned from Rian and I talking about it, or you were there.

Anyway, I really have nothing major to say right now, other than YAY INTERNET! I know I've said this a million times, but hopefully I'll keep up with this blog now that I have internet set up and such.  I mean, I'm paying for it, so I might as well use it, eh?

On one final note, I am in major job-hunt mode right now.  I am about sick of Wal-Mart. It's a nice job and all, but I'm better than this, and I'm finally realizing that they aren't planning on moving me up. If I can't move up, it's time to move on.  They say there is room for advancement, and there were even positions open that I wanted, but I didn't even get to interview for them, and I see the cashiers with 20 year tags and it scares the crap out of me.  I don't want to be here for 20 years, stuck as a freaking cashier.  I told myself I'd give it 6 months. I'm coming up on 8 months and I'm still in the same position I started in.  I am a better cashier than 90% of the others, easily. I am faster, I am more knowledgable, I am friendlier, and I have been sent to do the worst jobs in the store and I haven't complained once to them, and they still see me as nothing but a peon.  If they don't appreciate me for my talents and abilities, then I don't want to work for them anymore. I am better than them, and I don't know why the world won't let me show it.

So if any of you know anywhere that's hiring (and don't jerk me around saying fast food or other minimum wage retail), please give me a heads up.  I have one possibility, and I'm turning in the application tomorrow, but I need as many possibilities as I can find.  Please, I need help. I've discovered it's always the people you know who can get you a job.  Heck, I wouldn't work at this Wal-Mart if I didn't know someone who put in a good word for me and got them to call.  I know some of you have decent jobs.  Ask around. Drop my name. Just keep your ears open, because I can't stand this anymore.  What did I even go to college for, if this is all life is?

Fired UP! And eventually your degree will help, just not in a year like this one, and not until you have crap jobs under your belt.


Even with a degree most people expect you to have random work experience, unless you have a super-useful degree.
