新しい仕事を求める。

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Kai

Well, I feel like I’m back at square one again. I’ve found out that I may be laid off come this January, and that it’s something that commonly happens at the beginning of every year to new (part-time) employee’s.

So! I updated my resume today, and sent in two applications to Best Buy since I saw they had openings for sale associates, replenishment, and their Geek Squad. I’d love to work for the Geek Squad. It’s something that I’m very knowledgeable in and love helping people with. I went there today to ask if my application’s been looked at and to drop off my resume on top of that, but… they told me nothing and even refused to take my resume stating that they do all of their new hiring strictly through the computer and that if I was called in for an interview, to bring my resume then. I felt slightly embarrassed and even selfish/stupid for coming in in the first place after that, but at the same time I’m glad I went in. I tried and did my best, and it brought me out of my bubble a bit. Pushed me beyond my comfort level, which is a good thing.

Also going to be re-applying at Petco and Fred Meyer. While I would prefer to work in something involving computers, I still just need to have a stable and decent job. I can’t be too picky. Manda and I need to move out as soon as we’re able, and then I can look for something that I would like better. But for now. New job. Somewhere. Making at least slightly better than I am now and at full-time would be fantastic.

I also need to push myself to be on top of studying for the CompTIA A+ certificate exam, and studying Japanese. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t be learning things right now. I have everything that I need to move forward at my disposal, it’s just a matter of motivation, which I find hard to come by even though I desperately want (and need) to move forward in my life. I’m guessing it’s just going to take me sucking it up and plowing through things even if I don’t feel like it. Isn’t that what life is all about? Doing things you don’t want to.

So, that’s where I’m at. Square one (maybe one and half). 新しい仕事を求める。

久しぶり…

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Kai

It’s been a while, again. And it seems like I had made a post with this same title almost a year ago…

Now, I know no one ever comes here to read my (pointless) blog posts, but I do feel a need to write a post. It feels weird, it’s like I’m writing this post TO my blog, as if it’s a human being.

A lot of things have changed. I’d say some good, some not so good, but overall it’s been good. There are things I miss, new things I now… don’t like -cough-job-cough-, and new things to strive for. But I suppose all of those things are qualities in growth and change.

No longer a pruuuude

Posted on May 21, 2011 by Kai

Yuh. That’s right. I’ve stepped outside of the prude-realm and into MANHOOD.

Not really. Especially since I needed Manda to explain to me wtf a prude was to begin with.

But why am I no longer a prude you ask!? Why by golly, I’ve gotten my ears pierced! Finally. It’s been something that’s been in the back of my head for a very long time now, and I’ve finally had the chance to bring it to fruition. The final decision to get them pierced was more-or-less made on a whim as I was walking to Manda’s work to meet her for lunch. There’s a tattoo place (Slave to the Needle) that you walk by on the way there which set the hamster wheel turning in my head. Told Manda about it, aaaand that same day (after Manda got off from work) I got them pierced. I do want to stretch them a bit, but not too much. Just enough to fit another ring inside the hole, like this!

But again. Not sure if I’ll stretch them out as much as Ruki has. Manda and I also decided on getting the top of our ears pierced as well. It’s going to hurt like hell because its cartilage, but 8D; yeah. We’re going back in 2 months after my ears heal to stretch mine to the next gauge size (currently a 12) and possibly get the other piercings as well. Eventually I’d like to have 3 on top of my ears. But that’ll happen with time :3 can’t just jump in and do it all at once. Aaand at some point, going to get my lip pierced, and I’ve been thinking of getting a small tattoo somewhere. Just not sure what I want though.

But, enough of the piercing stuff. I’m still on the hunt for a job. I’ve had two interviews so far, but no call backs. I have to admit, it’s getting to be a bit depressing. I don’t like that I have nothing to do other than… keep manda and I’s room clean, or do laundry. I want to work on saving up money, getting back in school, and working on the things that I want to do and accomplish. Yet, can’t do anything without a job and some sort of income. Even if it’s just a little. The problem also isn’t that there isn’t anyone hiring around here. There’s plenty of places that are hiring, it’s just that I don’t have any job experience. I’ve been shooting for retail, but again, people are looking for possible employee’s with retail experience. Which… kinda only pisses me off. How the fuck am I supposed to get said experience when no one wants to hire me in the first place? What the fuck do I have to do? I’ve gone to over 17 stores now in this past month, and yet nothing.

Now I feel angry and want to eat chocolate or something. So I’m going to go do that now >O

Till next time!
