Here's another vent thread

Such a frustrating day of job searching today! I hate that minimum wage is so low, and that so many families want to pay their nanny close to minimum wage... Get a student if you want to do that! Don't try to hire a professional nanny with 10 years of experience, and only pay $10 an hour.

I'm coming to the end of my rope with the whole thing.

Job searching sucks for sure. :(
I can't sleep. It is driving me crazy. I'm watching Dead Like Me instead of sleeping...great show but I want to sleep! the problem is, I can't pull myself away.
 
I hatehateHATE it when people don't reply immediately to my text's. Ironically enough, I'm one of the worst human beings at replying to messages, so this makes me a hypocrite. I don't like hypocrites. Does this make me even more of a hypocrite? Like a hypocrite to the power of 2?
 
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of always coming in second or third place to the people who claim I matter to them. When I need you most, you're never there. You always tell me "If you need to talk, i'm always here for you". Yeah. No Eff that. You're never there. The sad part is I always fall for it. I'm always like a happy little puppy following you around, while you ignore me and play with the big dogs. But if the situation was reversed, I ALWAYS drop everything i'm doing, and like a dumbass, I always cater to your needs. Every, single, time. It always happens. And people always wonder why i'm such a bitch. UGHHHHHH
 
somehow in transporting my computer from home to school, I cracked the screen. now I have to wait until Friday or Monday to have someone call about fixing it. **** that
 
Finishing an essay, which I have no idea what the subject is about, and it was supposed to be handed in Monday.
 
Damned, I thought I was done with maths after high school. Heck no. With a friend, we just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out something quite simple:

"So, I must make a layout for 5 letters. One letter is two faces. A fold sheet of paper is 4 faces. How much sheet of paper do I need?"
"Uuuuuh"
Simple, basic, but damned, math just always make me have some kind of brain short-circuit!
 
Ugh people at my school are the worst at driving. I had already started pulling out of my parking space when a car sped by behind me, so I stopped. Once he was clear, I resumed pulling out again, only a car in the row behind me then decided to pull out of her parking space too. We almost hit each other, but we didn't, luckily. She clearly didn't see me when she started pulling out, which is just stupid cause the only way you can't see that is if you don't check. It was clear when I checked, and so I started pulling out of my parking space. That's how these things go! Anyway, after we almost hit each other because she didn't give me the right of way, she actually followed me to my house (coincidentally, we live in the same neighborhood so it's not as creepy as it sounds) to lecture me on pulling out of parking spaces too fast! I mean, what? She was the one who didn't check to make sure other people weren't in the way, and I clearly had been there first! Argh. Maybe I was going a little fast, or maybe not, but she should've been more careful in checking to see if other cars were around anyway. And to lecture me on what is "dangerous" as if I'm the only one in the wrong is just so irritating.
 
UGH! The last thing I want to do is have to replace the battery in my car's key fob. My mom just told me it's a possibility that the battery in the key fob needs to be replaced. But I've never been to the Volkwagen dealership. The nearest one is 15-20min away.

Surely I can get a battery for a key fob at the nearest Dobbs or something. And not have to drive all the way to the Volkswagen Dealership. UGH!

Not in the mood for this.😡
 
Update on the suckiness of job searching... Today I drove 30 miles round trip to interview with a woman.. I'd been recommended to her by a babysitter she uses, but she'd never met me, and she was planning on having me care for her child for 9 days while she went out of state, starting this weekend. I asked around and got advice from other nannies and parents, and decided on asking for the lowest pay possible, knowing that this woman sounded like she didn't want to pay much.... well even that was too much for her!

...She wanted to pay me what worked out to be a maximum of $6 an hour for the hours the child would be awake and not at school (and that's taking into account no payment for the times he'd be asleep but I would have to stay over at their house).

So insane that "because of the really expensive vacation" she'd already planned, she couldn't afford to pay anything more than that. Now she's going back to her original plan of leaving the child with a sketchy family member even though she's worried their legal issues might catch up to them while she's gone!
 
I had a terrifying dream that my best friend died. In my dream, all I wanted was to hear her voice again. It was very disturbing... I woke up wanting to cry.

Oh how awful! I hate dreams that seem so real, when the emotions stay with you after you wake up.
Why do I let myself get drawn into pointless debates about pointless things 🙄 its like a lame chess game where you're just moving the same piece back and forth.

Getting drunk and getting pulled into debates about religion again are we? =P I feel you on that though, people have some strong opinions about some stupid things.
I've got a 20 page art paper due tomorrow on the topic of live dance. Unfortunately I put it off a couple weeks and the only performance available was modern dance. I tried to take notes but they were pretty worthless so now I'm just winging it. Hope my professor didn't go to the same one! =D
 
I love my friends. I love spending time with them. I posted in the what made you happy thread about how much I love spending time with my friends... but I"m used to being gone from my house for five hours at a time... tops. I was gone for about 12 and 1/2 hours today. My butt hurts, I'm tired, and I just wanna watch Dead Like Me and sleep... although watching on a not widescreen monitor is going to SUCK! *sigh*

likefireworks agrees: Haha. Isn't it always greener on the other side! When you have stuff to do, you just want to be home, and when you spend all your time at home, you just want something to do!

hahaha sort of... but honestly, I don't want to spend all my time at home... I just really forgot what it was like to be gone from your house for that long. It's exhausting... I mean it wouldn't be if I did it all the time and was used to it... but it's exhausting. There wasn't a moment when I was out with my friends tonight I wished I was home... but after I got here, I wish I could stay her for an equal amount of time, but in twelve hours from now, I'll already have gone to class and have been home for about an hour...

I got so excited went to pop in my Terminator DVD to realize the package was messed up so now i have to wait to watch the second season. Out of all the packages just my luck it was the last one in the store so i thought I got lucky. You know when your just so into a show and you can't wait I seem to not be able to and it is a rainy day oh well I am going to watch Gossip Girl.
 
I'm so pissed off. I just put $1.50 in the vending machine at school cause I'm dying of thirst, I pushed A4 and it tries to vend my water bottle. No, didn't work. The worst part? It's a clear vending machine so I can see the water bottle hanging by a thread, but no, it didn't fall.

This isn't the first time I've been a victim of vending machine crime either, I feel like this exact thing happens to me about 1/5 of the time.

I'm SOOO thirsty.
