One of those days, again. More complaints and recriminations.
Recrimination #1: I'm not working.
I ended up printing out several job ads from everywhere I've tried applying, just to shut them the hell up. At least half of them state openly that if you don't have your own vehicle you're not going to be considered. As for the others, I know better than to trust the local public transportation. Plus, competition for spots is fierce, and requirements are getting ridiculous. Who needs a B.A./B.S. to be a receptionist?
Complaint #2: I'm not looking for a husband, either.
You'd think that after my last date they'd get that decent men are in short supply in this area! I am NOT on the market for some creepy 40 to 50-something looking for a trophy wife, I am NOT interested in some 30-something jerk who thinks he can boss a younger wife around, I am not even interested in 20-somethings, since (as a category, individuals cases may vary) they don't have their s**t together yet.
Never mind Nick. He's not under discussion here. I am.
I don't even think I want to get married. EVER.
I want to travel, see new places and new faces. I want to learn to go bowhunting, learn to play bass guitar, I want to camp out under the stars on a clear night away from civilization and lose myself in a starry sky.
I want to be free...
but I'm trapped here.

I've been looking for just about anywhere except fast food places. I can't work in one because the smells will give me headaches (the reason I only ever order to go). Mostly small businesses, dental/medical/other offices, retail stores, and so on. The temp agencies I've sent resumés to haven't called me back - except one, and I turned it down because they wanted half my first month's pay as commission.
I live in a suburb with the nearest bus stop over a mile away and their schedule is blatant lies. I need a car, but they won't let me have one. They've said plainly that if I have a car they will buy it, or I won't be on their insurance. I can't afford to insure a car and put gas in the tank.
This is all about control, really. They want me to live the way they see fit... only if I can't get out there, how can I meet someone and get married and s**t? I used to meet interesting guys when I worked at the bookstore. Never dated any, though, my bosses discouraged it.
*SIGH*

Gigi Deveraux Digital Fiend I don't doubt it. Of course, even if you do find it, it'll only be temporary, but it'll be something. And more to put on the resumé. Have you made one at all? I have. Sent it to every temp/hiring agency in the area, loaded it onto Monster and Careerbuilder, the works. I'm going to start looking near where Grandpa lives. It might get a bit cramped there, but if I need to crash there workdays, so be it. I don't think he'd mind sso much if I'm there because I got a job...
People generally are. Having a job is like having worth in life to almost everyone.
