Dear readers,
First and foremost I'd like to congratulate my friend Ariel who is no longer unemployed! She has gotten an awesome position as an RN on the surgical floor at Maimondies Medical Center in Brooklyn New York. Let's give her a round of applause!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations girl!!!
It is Sunday and 75 degrees here in Gaithersburg M.D. It's fucking beautiful. I've had a pretty laid back weekend. Friday night I saw The Watchmen with Alex, and I thought it was amazing! Honestly, one of the best movies I've seen this year, and most certainly the peak of comic book films to date (this my personal opinion). It's more along the lines of a Dark Knight film than Spider-Man ( less camp more dark dialogue and gore). If you are on the fence about this film read this review written by my good friend Paul AKA Nomad who is an editor for Action Figure.com and a writer for Dread Central; which is an awesome site for all things horror, including reviews, interviews, and contests. This is not a movie you should take your kids too. After a graphic and lengthy sex scene involving our hero and heroine, a few people made a beeline for the door in order to shield their young kids eyes from the gratuitous titties on screen ( funny for me...not so funny for those parents). I bet in the next week someone is going to have to give the "where do babies come from?" speech.
Yesterday and today have been 'cleaning'' days. I've had a pile of laundry that's been staring at me in the face for the past week or two. I've taken to wearing bikini bottoms instead of actually washing my clothes ( that's how much I hate fucking laundry), but it's getting done, it's getting done ( mostly because Alex got up this morning and the first thing he said was, " we need to do laundry.") I can't argue with a man who knows what he wants. I tried to bargain my way out of helping him fold clothes by offering to pick-up lunch, but he wasn't having any of that. So after the dryer shuts off in 10 minutes ( yes I'm counting down) I will be folding against my will; and believe me if you have ever lived with me I am fucking terrible at folding clothing. I feel like I'm missing that feminine gene that makes organizing my clothing, and folding my laundry neatly, possible. I have four piles in my closet, clean, clean-ish, dirty, and incinerate immediately.
Also as promised...here is a an unemployment story written by Tammy Brown in Manalapan N.J. The title is " Unemployment is getting sadly boring." You can friend her on facebook if you want to read more of her notes.
so i was bored and decided to make a rant.....trust me i need to vent badly. this is just the start of it
so for the past few months i have pretty much have had the same routine:
~ wake up sometime between 10am and noon (i tend to aim for 11, but no guarantees)
~ check email is some slim hopes of getting an email back from someone asking for more information about me
~ wait for the b/f to get his computer going and then attempt to find some food. we can never decide between breakfast or lunch
~ eat whatever creation we have made and watch some tv together while eating
~ then i search monster, career builder and some other sites in hopes of finding some jobs to apply to, only to get rejected but hey i have to try anyways.
~ after that, its do some work for my online class. normally just making a post in the forums
~ by now its sometime around 2ish i guess, so on to spending the rest of my night playing world of warcraft
~ if its a fri and i have money (yay unemployment) i play poker. if its thurs night, i go bowling. the past few monday nights the swaggers play roller hockey and i get to go yell at them for being idiots lol
~sometime between 1 and 3am we go to bed. but the past few weeks we've been watching an episode or 2 of "that 70's show" since we got the whole collection on dvd before we pass out and just repeat everything the next day
most of my friends are in the same boat, well maybe not unemployed, but funds arent the greatest so going out and getting out of the house isnt a number 1 priority cause it costs money to do anything
i refuse to go back to six flags on account they treat you like shit and refuse to give you decent time off. im sorry i dont want to spend every waking hour there. but when i work from 9am-2am....i want 2 fucking days off and not to work 4 dbls a week. oh and when i put in a TOR for a friends college graduation party...i want to go. so don't approve it and then fucking deny it. i missed a lot of family and friend functions last summer cause i had to spend my life at the park. and then i hurt my foot cause i worked to much and then all of a sudden, no one wanted me to work at all. i couldn't claim disability cause there are "sitting positions available" but yet i couldn't get hours. so then i fell behind on my bills. thank you so much six flags, i worked there for 9 years....but last year was the worse year ever. my first 3 years are the ones i will always remember, because i made some great friends who i actually still talk to today.
so the hunt for an engineering job sucks. and i am starting to loose hope of ever getting a job. being a girl doesnt mean shit. companies want people with years of experience, yet they post these job opening under entry level positions and ask you why u applied to such a job with the little experience you have. why post under entry level and not put the amount of experience you really want? companies confuse me so much.
that is my rant for now. i am going to bed. hoping for maybe a chance of waking up to hear someone at least wants to give me an interview....that would at least raise my hopes.
Thanks for sharing Tammy!!!
P.S.- I found out that I can enter my guinea pigs in 'Cavy Shows' http://acbaonline.com/ Man people out there are fucking strange....
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday guys!
