I know it's been a long time. And since it's nearly two a.m. now, I don't have time to really talk. Quick update though. I decided not to take the GRE. There just weren't enough hours in the day to study for it. And, according to some folk, even if I get a graduate degree, I'll come out of school looking for the same types of positions, positions that I'm already qualified for as is.
So that means, I'm looking for a job. If anyone out there is in need of a typist, secretary, writer, proofreader, hair dresser, babysitter, comedian, entertainer (I can do birthday parties and shit), painter, consultant (I don't know what kind of consulting but I can consult), analyst, rapper, librarian or chef, lemme know. I'm in the market for a job. And this economy is no fucking joke. Magazines folding left and right. Where am I supposed to work?!
A career counselor at my friend's school suggested that she look into receptionist work or go to grad school. Those are two great options....
I'm so tired of trying to sell myself to people, mind you, I've applied for a grand total of two jobs....
Someone actually said to me: "I really wish I could hire you right now but we're just not in a place to hire anyone else."
"Ain't that about a .....?? Why'd you waste my time?! Silly trick."
Job #2 wants to offer me less than half the salary that I KNOW I should be getting. "Nonnegotiable? Thanks, but no thanks."
The next step in my master plan is to staple my degree to my forehead and dare a mfer to ask me that dumb ass question....you know the one...."Why should I hire you?"
Excuse my language but...Fuck this economy and everything it stands for.

You know I may need help making dolls...wanna learn to crochet and have a franchise? Got to expand the nation you know!!
You can also look into cooperatives and non-profits too...pay sucks but they are usually a bit more humane in the hiring process especially with college grads. But...there are some crazy people that work for those too...just to let you know.
I'll get back to you if I come up with anything else....
Haha! Yes! I can be your apprentice! That works for me.
I hadn't thought about non-profits. My next option was to seek work as a teacher but I will definitely be on the look out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey sis...hope all is well. I'm hopeful that you came out of your finals ok, and that you maintained your sanity throughout. Hey, you're DONE now, right??!!
Yes! I am doing well sis, thanks for asking. Finals are over, I am trying to rest a bit before taking my teacher certification exam. Finally done with school!
