I have a interview for a possible new job on Monday. @.@ My heart is racing and I am all jittery.

Right now I am at a loss if I should tell my boss I am having the interview or not. sweatdrop While I have good chances of getting the job, there is always the possibility I wont. So I don't know if it is better to give my boss a heads up that I might be getting a new job or just springing it on him that I got hired.

Spring it on him. If he finds out that you're job-hunting he might start looking for ways to get rid of you anyway, and if things fall short at the interview that could leave you completely jobless. But that's how I see it, and I'm feeling particularly pessimistic right now.

I'm feeling angry. I love them dearly as individuals, but I HATE Canadians as customers....And while I'm fully aware that not ALL Canadians are so stingy, I seem to have all the snobby ones at my hotel tonight, and I want to stab each and every one of them!!!! scream

Of course, this is by no means a hate speech, and I'll feel much better about the situation once the holiday season passes.... sweatdrop

I wouldn't say anything. Chances are he isn't going to find out your job hunting and I wouldn't want the extra tension if it takes you longer to find a job than you expected. Once you find a job, then you can always tell him that you've been keeping your eyes open since you've been looking to get into something new and happened to get an offer.

(hops on your head) Now spill, what job are you trying for? whee

So, we got back from my grandma's house an hour or so ago; were gone for a couple days for Thanksgiving. The trip itself was long and by no means super-fun. No one really likes grandma's boyfriend and she was sorta depressed, though no wonder since the anniversary of my grandfather's death was a few days ago. But really, I have such a hard time seeing why my grandma enjoys this guy's company; he's really conservative, REALLY catholic (there are fewer Jesus' in a church then in his house <__<), he's so commanding in a conversation she can hardly get a word in, he won't let her have any pets(she had to get rid of them all..), he's bossy, and I think he has OCD. He spent a good amount of time trying to convince me I should go into nursing because of the demand and salary, without knowing a thing about me. I would make a horrible nurse, for many reasons including I have this thing about germs; being around sick people all day is not my thing. But he knows best, apparently, since he also picked out a career for my brother. <<
Also, on the (loooong) drive there (eight hours!) there was this car with an interesting message on it. You know how you can get lettering on your window? Not like washable car markers, but relatively permanent labeling? Yeah, some jackass had "The Book of Mormon is FICTION" in big-a** letters on his/her back window. We were like "WTF?" Seriously, who is so hateful of another person's religion that they pay money and get something like that?
Anyway, more fun when we got home because for some reason, the heat was off. So, it's really ******** cold in the house, and one of our faucets needs to be replaced 'cause the pipe froze. gonk :: shivers::

Oh my God. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies. I mean it. It's like working in hell.

I had to go out today and when I got to the counter I told the poor cashier girl that I was sorry. She looked like she appreciated it. xD

Anyway, I'm working away on my art appreciation project. It's a symbolic self -portrait, so needless to say it's a fairly easy assignment for me, but most of the people in my class don't see things that way. I'm sure some put in a lot of effort, but some just seem to throw things together to try to scrape some kind of passing grade. At least, that's what it looks like to me, but then everyone's a critic.

Hmm.....maybe I should move the cannon towards my legs and put an arm out at my waist instead...

I am going for a filing clerk position at a bank down town. Is basically data entry and retrieval.

I got to follow the trailing dog last night after a suspect in a triple homicide in the second most dangerous city in california last night. And this morning I was able to go out with the cadaver dogs and look for parts of a man that was hit by a train last night.

fun weekend it has been

I forgot to post this. It's that serial killer weapon I found at the garage sale a few weeks back. :3  

[Krissim Klaw]

O___o Sometimes I feel like I'm being followed... like someone is watching me... all the time... and then... I realize I have a velcro dog who follows me everywhere... eek gonk xd

lol, thinking of you guys. heart

When I was bored out of mind I found myself thinking about the AFG. We were passing the chocolate factory in town when a dancing fur suitor bear came out of the bushed waving wildly as he tried to get business. I couldn't help but laugh at that, but no one knew why it was so funny. (Don't know about furries) I smiled and waved back dispite my friends’ obvious confusion. Basically the point of this message was just to show the odd coincidence that happened today. 3nodding

Well, BWL is over and I had some fun. However I'm not sure about my friend who went. While he was playing games, it seemed he was having fun but yeah....

Says he needs therapy before the next one if he decides to go. He almost won a competition, but sadly, his driving skills aren't that good xD;

Well, mandatory long arse post of whinage, seeing this is the appropriate thread for it.

December's coming fast, and I'm dreading it with every instant of the last week left before that accursed month. Sure it's gonna be Christmas time and all, but for me all the holidays bring back to me are thoughts of a time last year where, throughout everything that's happened to me in 2006, I almost crossed over into going suicidal.

It's hard not to think about it, especially with how everything's happening all over again. Well, okay, maybe not everything. I don't have to watch Pat mistreat my lovers anymore and things are stable, if distant, with Caitlin since I don't have constant net access and problems are making me emotionally distant, but once again work has gotten very, very slim to the point where I'm having trouble affording rent, and now I'm just plain jobless.

Temperatures are steadily dropping and I'm still broke. I've taken appointments to try and get help from financial aid, but I'm afraid they'll turn me out again telling me it should be my parents' responsibility when they clearly aren't helping me. Sure, yes, it's supposedly their job, but they aren't doing it, and it's gonna be -30 soon, and I want a ******** roof over my head, and walls to keep the wind out. ><

I've also started going around town looking for work, but no place has hired me. A lot of them ask me for info, and the just throw the paper out when I tell them I don't have a phone number.
What the hell? I'm looking for a job so I can pay the damn phone bill, gents. (among other things) Can't exactly blame Bell for cutting me off for being 4 months late. Can' exactly keep using the phone if I can't pay for it.

The year crossing over is also extremely depressing, since it means I've spent another year not getting anywhere. 11 months ago, I was expecting a callback from the gender specialists at the CHUM for a follow-up on getting me to the right clinic so I could progress on my condition. It's been almost an entire year, and I'll I've managed to get is a prescription, and I can't even pay for it. So now it's just sitting there, all packed up at the local pharmacy, just waiting to be paid for and picked up. Mocking my inability to get it.

Urf, all in all, December's going to be Hell.
At this point I don't even care about Christmas anymore. I just want a goddamn job so I can pay the goddamn bills. Something stable, so I don't have to go to bed every night, unable to sleep right because I'm too worked up thinking about what's going on, or going to happen -- wondering even if I'll be able to strive for another month.

Granted I'm nowhere near suicidal again, and I never want to get anywhere near there ever again, but there's only so much a person can take before they get emotionally out of hand.

Life's a unforgiving b***h.
I'm not even 20, trying to make a living on my own without any kind of parental help other than the occasional visit for free dinner and checking up on net stuffs, unable to get more than a highshcool education because neither me or my parents could afford my going to college. I've got mental problems, diagnosed. I've got dreams and fears, and the inability to get anything settled is turning me into an emotional train-wreck the size of the Grand Canyon. I'm living off my own stubborness and will to carry own, but someday I'll run out of that. In the meantime I drown my worries and sorrows in videogames, keeping me from having to think too much on these things, but I'm running out of games.

I know I won't have someone hold me by the hand for the rest of my life, but is it such a crime for me to recognize that right now, I just can't make it on my own?
