So, I got the job I wanted and I'm really happy about it!
I'm so happy! WOO!
Finally, a job where I can focus on my studies.
I'll be working at the student bookstore at my school, and they are super accommodating because it's designed for students. So I'll only have to work like 10 hours a week and I get to focus on being a college student for once!
I'm just really happy and relieved. It's hard going to school while working 32 hours per week, and my grades suffer for it. It makes me so mad because I really want to dedicate myself to my studies and grades, and before I couldn't and there was nothing I could do about it. It made me mad that the reason I couldn't get perfect grades was out of my control.
So what good news does everyone else have?
An uplifting opening post for once, and it's a beauty. Piddling about in a library? Now that's a job I would dearly love, and indeed I did try a while ago. The satellite public libraries around these parts are all but closed due to the usual budget cuts, so I applied for a skivie job, putting books on shelves and that sort of thing. They needed references going back ten years, they needed a criminal background check, they needed a medical report.
They needed to go and fuck themselves.
That particular library is still closed and is no more than three minutes walk from my house. But anyway, these days I put in a few hours a week at a job seekers advisory centre helping folk create an E-mail account or help them compile a CV.
There are benefits, I can log on to the web anonymously and find the best spot to place shaped charges around public buildings.
No not the library it's empty, the council offices and all the hundreds of people who plot my downfall.
Watch this space.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
