So, now what?

The Riddler · January 15, 2009, 05:23:38 AM

I can't find a job anywhere, I've been to about 50 places in the last three weeks (and more before that), and noone is hiring or taking applications. Noone can afford it I guess.

I'm no longer a college student.
My mom's checks bounced and they won't accept any more, so I lost all my classes, and now I have to wait 'til fall.
Fuck it.

I had some kind of panic attack or something at my girlfriend's house. It started with me just not feeling well, then I couldn't focus on anything, I kept seeing double, and I was like hallucinating or something, about four times during different conversations with my girlfriend, if I closed my eyes at all, I'd see something that wasn't there, but talk about it anyway, and confuse the hell out of her. She had to go to her cousin's house for a birthday party and I was supposed to go, but I couldn't keep my balance, so I fell asleep in her bed. Later on when she got home, I tried getting up and blacked out. I couldn't drive like this, so her parents let me sleep on the couch.

Yeah. I'm intercourse ed. As of yesterday I became a total loser or something.

...That's not good. Not even Wal Mart is hiring? That's a switch.

That sounds extremely bad. If you haven't, go see a doctor etc.

Also, whatever you do, don't go an hero D:

I forgot to mention that I can focus now, but still feel like vomiting.

Don't go an hero?

Everyone will mourn your death, it'd suck.

The Riddler · January 15, 2009, 06:27:56 AM

Typo'd. Don't?

What does go an hero mean?

Rius · January 15, 2009, 06:29:28 AM

Says the Level 35 Emo Kid. Well, I hope you feel better.

Go an hero means committing suicide. Some stupid meme that only idiots use, really. :\

Hey, when I sigh, people come to their knees in praise D:

The Riddler · January 15, 2009, 06:47:02 AM

Ahh. Lame.

Nah, suicide is for intercourse tards, imo. No offense if anyone you know offed themselves. Never worth it.

Besides, I still have my girlfriend and that's some light in the dark.

But not having school OR work sucks balls. Srsly.

Welcome to the recession!! Business are not going to hire you, because you have some college experience and you're young! You aren't long term material! They want long term material, that has no college education! They're cheaper work-force! Why don't you take out student loans!? I have to take student loans out! I plan to stay in college till the recession is over! Even if I have to take two majors!

StarWindWizard7 · January 15, 2009, 10:26:38 AM

Yeah, I heard working at Wal Mart is a bad mistake, no matter what.
The reason why most places aren't hiring is because Stores are trying to get back money they
may have lost over the holiday season....... November-December.

Retail atleast Cut hours during this time because they spend So much of it during the holiday season (sales and giving out hours to employees), that the next month they highly cut back everything.

1 of the last things they'll do is hire more people to take away the money they are trying to get back.

You can still of course find a job, it's a tad bit more difficult around this time. :(

I'm sorry to hear about your hard time R_R.
Despite all the bad crap that has happened to me after my birthday, your situation seems to be more concerning.

It'll get better, a solution always arises when a person is up against a dire situation.
Being patient, and looking for alternatives is your best answer.

I also don't believe your a loser.
I'm sure you accomplished wayyy to much in your life to be considered such a thing.

You could be doing worst.

Uhh...try Subway, McDonald's...just any fast food place. There's got to be at least ONE that's hiring. Or try to get financial aid, quickly. www.fastweb.com is a good place to start.
But I know how you feel about the job thing...I've tried dozens of places, and I never get anywhere with them. :(

That really sucks. At least you have a girlfriend; so try to keep that alive.
