Welcome to Gaia! ::

Too bad you don't live in my area, my job doesn't offer benefits, but I've been making enough per hour that I'm considering to pay for my own small healthcare plan. whee

Although the cost of living can be pretty steep unless you've got connections, I just live at my mother's house. sweatdrop

Wil: I don't have connections, I've never felt the need for them or I just never wanted to interact to obtain connections so I'm basicly dead in the water. emo

Kava: sweatdrop I'm in the limbo point of deciding I need a change in my life and having life kick me in the a** and forces my hand to make changes anyways. Either way I need a kick in the a** to make me move. emo
I don't mind the idea of working but I don't even have my foot in the door to start working because I still don't have a work history/resume to have someone consider giving me a job. I can't very well but babysitting down, or even the time I worked on an alpacha ranch for a day to stay sane back in 04 while on vacation with my folks.

I'm just not a social person and have not a single connection to help me out to work.
I had a chance of working at an animal shelter a friend worked at but they didn't want/need me.

I'm just simply useless. Sad as it is to admit but its true, I always have been. So I've just tried to stay out of the way, in my senseless way of thinking. neutral

My mindset over the past five years have been, "Why bother." as pathetic as it is, I simply lived that way. But I'm needing a change, or wanting it. Whichever makes me feel better. xp
I'm just simply bored with the hole I dug myself into, so I'm trying for another one if you will. rofl
I rather hate modern live, even though I'm addicted to the technical side of it. I always think to myself I'd have a better chance in a diffrent timeline, or born into a diffrent culture. At least with my persona, but its a lie just to deal with my many foibles. sweatdrop

I suck at life and I know it, I just need for life to be like a game. I'd at least have somekind of place and mild chance of moving forward before its game over for me. xp
If only....

[/rambling]

Wil: I'd have to go all the way to Palm Springs. There is NOTHING close to my area. I live in the desert mind you, a desert, but more like islands on sand. neutral
That's the draw back of living where I do. Nothing is close, might as well live in hicksville. xp
But I could look for odd jobs if I don't get this one I'm currently applying at.
I shouldn't be complaining though, I'd go mad if I lived in a real city like L.A. where I'd have a better chance of getting work...maybe. sweatdrop

Oh, boy was today fun, Chuck E. Cheese for three hours with every kid running around mad. All for my niece and nephew that won't even remember their first birthday. How I loathe, places with kids(mostly not even waist high) running around. Three's more then enough for me, let alone thirty which aren't even yours. emo
Then dinner at a restraunt with two toddler's and two one year old's, having to watch them even if the adult's out number the children. It's a handful, and enough that you need a drink. burning_eyes
So excuse me while I go let my head explode, don't mind the mess. gonk

Hmmm. I'm not a social individual either. You are wrong about not being able to put down your babysitting or the ranch on a resume. -Everything- can go on a resume. It all depends on how you phrase it. Whether or not you want to put it there would depend on the type of job you're applying for, but let me give you an example...

If you're going to apply for a job that would have you working with kids some, it'd be quite simple to put something like, '2 years experience in child-care with pre-school aged children'. Whatever seems appropriate to your actual experience and slants it in such a way as to sound good for the job you're going after.

Then, if you lack actual job history, you can always put down your skills, even if they weren't learned in a classroom and didn't come with a degree of any sort. My resume lists all of my computer skills, regardless of the fact that all of them were gained simply by using my computer at home and I've never had any formal training in any computer hardware or software.

Another thing to consider, if you still have time to kill before you actually NEED to have a job, is volunteer work. Any type of volunteer work that you do can be listed on your resume as experience, and some places work on a hiring system where they are much more likely to hire those who have first done volunteer work for them. I know that when I was looking into working at the library in Anchorage, they had a system like that going. You needed to have been a volunteer for something like six months before they'd consider actually hiring you.

You just need to get prodded mentally in more creative ways of thinking about this. ^-~

I'm still unemployed.
I know!

I joined a bunch of websites to fill in details, no e-mails yet.
rolleyes (It's been.. 2 months?)

I might go to 'Bal du Bac'.

I already have a dress and shoes.

But I think the dress needs to be taken in a bit.

I also wouldn't know what to do with my hair.

OMG I'm starting to sound like other girls. burning_eyes

3nodding
But not my BAC - some of my friends, and some of my friends' friends.

Going with a group of girls. By bus. I watched An Inconvenient Truth for the SECOND time on friday.
@_@



I probably will have pictures taken, don't worry. xp
As in, I probably won't be taking the pictures - but others will.

I think you should get some sleep.

I have this new studybuddy who wanted to get all muscly and stuff, but after a few visits, he eventually thought of the gym as a shameless institute where people display themselves in purely carnal ways.

Maybe he's right.

But in general, I say he's demotivated/lazy and/or finally accepts the way he's built.

Or maybe he's all three!

But it's good that you're gaining weight if that's what you want.

I've been just under 60kg for a while now and I like it that way.
