Decided on a whim to do a job search in my area.

Apparently everything, including janitorial work requires 3-5 years of experience and at least a Bachelor's Degree. This does not bode well for me.

It's sad how the only way to prove you know how to use a mop requires a course thats costs god knows how much money

Today is my birthday and in my house (like most houses, I'm sure) we pick a birthday dinner. Since waking up this morning all I've been hearing is my mom complaining about how I ask too much of her and she doesn't have time for my dinner, and she's apparently been complaining to my siblings about me and how I shouldn't have asked for such an elaborate dinner. I asked for chicken parmesan. All I want to do right now it cry.
That's downright shitty.

*hugs and comfies the Jeb*  That's a dictionary dick move, right there.  I'm sorry you gotta deal with that, Jeb.  If there's anything I can do, just gimmie the word.

I'm sick of hearing about "Black Friday". I just can't wait for it to be done and over with. I find the most of people that shop that day to be animals.

*hugs* That's fucking shitty. Chicken parmesan isn't even that damn elaborate. And it's cruel to complain about you to your siblings.

It just baffles me that a college degree is needed at all. I mean, the experience part was pretty stupid too, but still... A fucking B.D? The hell do they want? A chemist?

So this annoys me. I am working at a pet super store now. And I just found out Black Friday a huge chunk of our live animals are going on sale for like 50% off. I don't like seeing people buy an animal then ask me what they need and how to take care of it. But putting them on sale when people are already in a buying mood can't be good for the critter in question. Even the stupid gerbil who bites me all the time deserves to be better than an impulse buy.

Spam scam messages that I keep getting like once every two weeks to try to get a battle.net/Diablo account I don't even own.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I had a phone interview with Target last week for a position the interviewer said is difficult to fill (freezer duty, so I'm sure it's unpleasant), and they never called back. Damn near everyone wants experienced workers, but nobody wants to train.

Economy's still bad enough that they can get away with it, too.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Well, I had quite the opposite experience, and a lot of places didn't want to hire me because I have a BA, thinking that I would demand more money.

What's annoying me RIGHT NOW is the earworm of a commercial that's been on like 20 times already.  "The lights the lights that light the lights the lights that light the lights the lights that light the lights the light that lights..."

Blargh.

Got a weird annoyance today. I spent most of my morning and afternoon learning Forty-Six and 2 and, after working out several issues with my fretting technique that I didn't realizing I had, started feeling pretty good about how well the song was going so far (so far = up to the 1st chorus after 4hrs), then I go and watch this guy's new video so my hands can take a break, and feel completely incompetent as a musician.

I really should have known better after every other video of his.

You do not know how easy it would be for me to troll you right at this very moment.

Oh I know I just opened myself up for trolling, but it's not like I haven't already been earworm-trolled by that bloody K-Mart commercial.
