This is SO DAMN TRUE (about there not being any).

What also bugs me is that my parents are bugging me about it. Even though it would be obvious to anyone that in this loser place of a small town there really aren't any decent summer jobs for me. Especially since I'm allergic to like a 100 different things and can't really do anything that's outdoors or industrial. However, the parents seem to think that I should be spending more time looking at ALL 3 of the job postings they have around here. Like a few more hours daily. What's up with that? And what's it to them since I'm actually borrowing money from them to survive (not like they're losing anything this way).

If not for this job search, it'd perfect summer otherwise.

Strange, I'm being laid off from my job on Thursday, and will very likely get unemployment benefits for the summer. Meaning, essentially, it'll be a paid vacation

. Not as much as I'm making now, of course, but since I make very little anyways, it's all good.

Working for a university has its benefits

my family's always bitching about how i should be getting a job. they say nothing to my brother though, and he's done nothing since he failed in college over a year ago. i really do need one, but all the possible job placements near where i am are run by people who hate me because i'm white

Which sounds glamorous and awesome, until one realizes that it involves nothing more than stocking DBZ videos and selling Gundam kits, and the only people to talk to are the "time to lean, time to clean" manager, 12 year old boys, and annoying otaku types who end every sentence they utter with "desu ka", right?

With that said, and my high tolerance for inane bullshit of that nature, may I have a job in your store 8) ?

I just started my job today. I work at a library!

But it's cool because my mom and one of my friends work there. And my next door neighbor is like 2nd in command of the library, and I've known her and everyone else at the library since I was like 5.
So I got the hookup and nobody gives me any lip.
Only bad thing is I don't get payed much but at least it's a job.

I'd be down with the library. Indexing shit, reading, going on vigilante power trips against the public masturbators on the public Internet terminals, and expanding a button downed, timid yet strangely hot librarian's awareness of her sexuality. In the children's book return sorting room, no less.

It'd be debaucherously wonderful.

you've had way too much time to think about these things.

that being said, working the anime store isnt as glamourous as it seems. you have to have the uncanny ability to create insulting remarks on the fly, yet be discreet and tactful enough to not let the subject hear what it is about their fat ass you are commenting about.

there's also the pleasant odor of otaku BO that reaches the peak of room saturation after they surmount the almost impossible obstacle of what is commonly known as the door.

it's a tough job; people might think its great, but in actuality, unless your co-workers are all cynical bastards like yourself, its a hellish job for the average joe.
