It's been mounting, and i've been dealing with it but buckle up cuz here it comes. I really didnt want to lose my cool and get pissed off but i'm left with no other options. As i mentioned in my last update- im still without a job and without a direction and i guesss that i am to blame for most of it but im not gonna sit here and throw stones at myself..no whats the point in that??? Instead I'm about to say my piece on whats grinding my gears and pullin my chain and whatever other hackneyed cliche out their.. This jounral is about everything going on in the job market and just about everything else....
First of all, had i known then what i known now i would NEVER be a marketing major. NEVER EVER EVER! When i decided to be a marketing major i had hopes of doing advertising or customer retention shit but its simply not offered or not available for entry level workers.. the only thing out there is for a fucking salesmen.. And I'm not knocking that job- if thats for u then fine, enjoy ur comission!!! but i personally didnt go to school so i can put trashy people in a Chevy Caprice. You dont even need a friggen degree for sales jobs, all u have to do is to tell people what they wanna hear and leave out what they dont need to know. Just spoon feed them the bullshit until it dribbles out their mouth and they cant swallow anymore... At Saf-t-Swim i rock that shit b/c i know people dont wanna know that their kid can drown at any given second, or if they dont like the program they aint getting their money back..i tell them that its a learneing experience which will be beneficial in the long run..its more of an investment then a purchase. its all about dangling the carrot and seeing how long it will take for them to go 4 it.
But back to the matters at hand- I've been applying for jobs like crazy, trying to sell myself to companies like i'm a corporate prostitue or somthing...and i havent gotten shit, not even a whistle. I called up my old stomping grounds HOFSTRA, to see what they can do 4 me and they turned me away like i wasgod damn bin laden asking for nuclear arms. Its bullshit. I graduated not even a full month ago and now they push me away. Fuck that. I'm about to write 1 fucking nasty e-mail..no check that- f-mail to the career center. It's not easy going to school, maintaining a gpa above 3.0 whileworking over 20 hours a week and finding a job. So excuse me if i held off on employment oppurtunities until after i graduated. But I definately plan on going to their career fair whether they like it or not and they definately lost out on me going to them for grad school.
The real thing that ruffles my feathers metaphorically speaking of course, is that I dont understand why i havent gotten a call back yet though- i speak english, im not a cross dresser or a freak, im articulate and well mannnered, im a hard worker with a decent GPA and i dont cause trouble. I'd figure i'd be a friggen wet dream for most employers who deal with the nutty, bizzare, 1 -step from being a psychopathic homicidal mass murderer guy that works down the hall. But i guess in the new age of hiring im at a disadvantage. I'm a male and im white- thats an automatic 2 strikes. Every company has to be P.C. so if they are gonna get some1 straight out of college why not opt for the 1 legged chick with a hump on her back with warts on her nose..."gotta be pc- can';t have a lawsuit on her hands". It irks the shit out of me. Why not have the best people get the best jobs. If that gothic chick wants to dress like that have her start her own freakshow company, dont hire her to be the new spokesperson for irish spring soap- she doesnt deserve it!! It always happens, im not saying descriminate based on looks but u gotta really feel people out and sometimes u just know based on looks, sometimes u need to dig deeper.
Another thing thats got my undies in a bunch is cancer. This fucking thing is just out of control. It seems like its everywhere- more abundant than aids. My uncle Bill is set to go for treatment on the cancerous lump on his troat. Hes gotta do the radiation and the whole deal. It's the real thing, the "big casino". I get emotional just thinking about it. My poor uncle is such a nice man and he doesnt deserve this shit- no 1 does. If i wasnt too busy praying to God that he gets better- i'd give him the middle finger for allowing my uncle to go through this shit.
Another tragedy happened to my family two days ago. My uncle Petey (on my mom's side) passed away. I'm going to his wake tonite as a matter of fact. He wasnt feeling well for a while but he lived a good long life. He was always joking around and having fun- im gonna miss him- even though i didnt see him much.
Huricane Katrina- As my friend mike would say "aint that some shit." It's really amazing what mother nature can do. those poor souls are suffering and they lost everything- and they are the lucky ones cause they survived. its good to see that people are donating and pitchingin- even i donated a little bit to try and help out..i think i may donate a little each week. I'm not as heartless as some people think.
