...what are we going to eat now?
this is a current dilemma my roommate and i are going through right now, at around midnight. we are hungry and we really don't want to go outside to look for food.
actually i lied, sort of. we just came back from jack in the box to get a late night snack/meal. if we keep this up, it could pose a problem. we wouldn't be in such a predicament if we didnt have this cray party at our place this weekend. it was chaotic but it was fun. but when we fully recovered from our hangovers, we realized that most of our food was missing and our spare cash was gone. instead we discovered a stock of various hard liquor in our freezer, and plenty of orange, pineapple, grapefruit, and cranberry juice in the fridge instead. and about a thousand dishes and cups to wash. so now we won't have to worry about being thirsty, but that will not adequately fill our stomachs. i'm learning to cook, but i can't make anything if i have no supplies, like chicken or eggs.
now that i am close to being broke, i continued looking for more jobs today. i applied to other places last week, but they all did not return any of my calls. needless to say i am quite sad. so far, i tried to get a job at old navy, sears, quiznos, marble slab, petco, radio shack, some places on campus and as a hooker. haha just kidding...about sears.* i almost walked into bath and body works to ask for an application, but at the last minute i thought better of it. if i don't hear from any of these places, i really am going to try to work at bath and body works.
i figured the reason why it is very difficult for me to find work is probably because a.) i never had official job experience before and b.) i probably gave wrong answers for those slightly retarded thousand questionaires thing they make you take online. at first i tried putting answers that the company would probably want to hear, which would actually just makes me look like some honest person who would never steal, lie, or do something that my potential boss probably wouldn't approve of if he/she ever found out. but honestly, i am really not that honest, at least not in a perfect, always telling the truth, cross my heart and hope to die, type of way. of course i would never steal like clothes from old navy or snakes from petco (and put them on a plane), but the questions they asked are so preposterous i just had to put what i really would've done in that particular sitation. but instead of going into too much detail about what kind of retarded questions i had to answer, my results should probably be something about not ratting out on my co-workers when they do something bad and just doing whatever work needed to be done if there is no one else around to do it. but i'm pretty sure those companies are looking for little snitches and people who suck up (in more ways than one) to the big boss all the time and always doing the right thing. i consider myself a pretty decent guy, a nice guy (who finishes last no doubt), but seriously i just didn't want to play their little mind games. i answered what i thought, and if they don't hire me for being the way i am, then i guess i'm glad i don't have to work there. but of course that sucks because i still have no way of making money. so if anybody can hook me up (heh heh "hook") with a job, it would be much appreciated.
*by the way, i did not try to apply as a hooker. that was obviously a joke.
on another note, taking a bunch of non-music classes has been...lonely so far. it used to be less than 20 kids sitting next to each other learning boring music theory, but still with the company of your friends. we would chill, ponder over the notes, not pay attention, whatever, it was fun i guess. now it's like 50+ kids with a bunch of new people you probably won't have a chance to talk to. but i don't regret it, i've made my decision, and being a music major just...ain't my style. it was cool to say "yea i'm a music major" and have girls be like "ooooh that's coool!" but realistically i just felt uncomfortable everytime i said it. and that's why i gotta change. i still have the "i'm from florida" card to count on in case i can't think of anything else to talk about haha.
i still need a job though.
