of course, i've been searching for a job for like, 8 months. (ok, well i've been unemployed for 8 months, i haven't really been looking for a job for that long > unemployment rocks!)

so since i'm in school my chances of getting an office job that pays me $25 an hour, since i can only work 16 hour a week and i need at least that much to survive, were quite slim. so i figured i should just get a waitresssing job. i go to like, 4 places that had ads out and each of them say "we are just taking applications right now, we will be hiring in a few weeks." and i'm like "d'oh! i need a job now mfers!"

now yesterday, one of the places calls me back and offers me a job. but its the place i wanted to work the least. so i think about it and decide that i'll be waiting forever if i don't just take this job cause i need money super bad. so of course, what happens today? oh, the place that i really wanted to work at, which is 3 blocks from my house, calls me back. GRA!

and, to top that off, there is this super busy restaurant that i've been trying to get a job at for months that i finally got an interview at.

this sucks.

but i might try to get two of those jobs, i'm sure one of them will suck and i'll be glad i get to choose later!

Sounds like quite a predicament. I'm glad I don't have to get a real job yet.

two words : sugar daddy. :D
I'm kidding.
Personally, i'd just take both and drop the crappy one as you get busier. It isn't a reall big deal to turn them down right after working for them if you have a better offer later.

I so know how you feel. For about a two week time period, I was going to interviews at 2 places, and could also get my old job back. One was for the YMCA working as a child daycare councelor making $6.75 an hour, one was for a receptionist position making 7 or 8 ( I think ) and my old job was a junior loan processor making 9 an hour. I seriously contemplated going back to processing so I could make more money, but I knew that I didn't like the job or the atmosphere or the stress it was putting on my life, so in the end I settled for the Councelor only making $6.75 and for once I actually truley like my job and like getting up and going to work everyday. Try to find a job that no matter what mood you are in, you will be able to go to work and enjoy it. :)

It may be that your experience appears to be a little thin. When I click on the link in your sig (I'm using Netscape 6), this is what I get:

(In IE, it brings up your resume.)

the more you put out there, the more chances you have of getting a job
This is definitely true... if you're cute. :P

i know, my sister is good at dreamweaver, but only for IE... i have to fix the netscape bugs.

AND CAN I JUST SAY I HAD THE WORST DAY EVER???
seriously, i want to cry (or rather, i want to stop crying)

i went to work at the one place tonight, and it COMPLETELY SUCKS
i'm not in the mood to describe, but just take my word for it.

and then i come home, and what do u know, i've got a ****ing boot on my car. which i'm SOOOOO PISSED about because i had moved my car 15 mintues prior, and it was right before i left to go to that horrible job.

AND if i hadn't been at work, i would have seen them doing this and could have prevented it. or actually, i probably wouldnt have even been home, so it wouldn't have mattered.

so, since that stupid place paid me a WHOPPING $15 for 5 hours of work, it's going to cost me $214 for today. (i'm thinking about calling the authorites on that)

AND TO TOP IT OFF, i still haven't gotten my w2s from my old job, and i need them so i can try to get more financial aid from my school. (i have to prove that i made less in 2001 then in 2000.) but i can't call the IRS until friday. and hten on friday morning i have to go to school to finish a lab in the morning, so i can't do it until the afternoon. and then i get to call the obnoxious woman in payroll back at my former employer and make her give me my numbers over the phone (she wouldn't do it when i called the first time.)

when will my life get better? will someone please tell me?

But I hope things do start to look up for you.

Hang in there. Good things will come your way. Remember that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I know that many times I've felt like the world was crumbling in front of my eyes but you gotta keep going. Just don't give up, alright? :)
