Re: Vent Thread
Oh nah. I love my job and where I work. My manager is actually a really nice lady, she's just a little high-strung at times.

Re: Vent Thread
This town sucks. There are no jobs available. I walked along the main drag today (the only businesses in the whole town), and over half of the stores had "for rent" or "closed" (permanently) on them. The other half weren't hiring. I filled out applications anyway for about eight places, a few of them which have high turnover rates, like fast food type places. I would love to get the night job at the gas station out on the edge of town because of the better pay, but I'm not getting too hopeful right now.
This whole "being an adult" thing is fucking terrible. Can I go back to college? Preferably for free?

It took me 4 months to get ANYTHING after graduation.

Re: Vent Thread
Does your school not have some sort of career center where it's peoples' job to get grads employed so the school doesn't look bad? Normally they'd even try to get you something substantial. In your field no less. Y'know that thing you got the degree for. Those marketable skills you paid all the money to them to teach you.

Re: Vent Thread
All my school's career center basically did was to help you prepare a resume. Regrettably, that does me little good with no prior work experience. Beyond that and they don't do much, especially because my major (Spanish) isn't one of the fields that they're known for (engineering, teaching, criminal justice).

Re: Vent Thread
The only thing our career center does is organize a craeer fair, which is the envy of the state with how many people we get to come. They generally always get a bunch of seniors job [especially in my department], so I guess that's something.

Re: Vent Thread
My university has 2 campuses. One is where the liberal arts programs are and one is where the science/engineering/business programs are. The career center is located on the campus where it'll actually have something to do.

Re: Vent Thread
I can run for days without any problems, I'll just get up and go. Bottom line, I've never injured myself running.
But I attempt to show off one time during a "freestyle" on Dance Central and I pull a hip-flexor muscle! I'm an idiot though, since I still ran on it (because it didn't hurt much at the time) and I'm paying for it now

Re: Vent Thread
i want to start running a least 2 - 3 times a week (or more) but I have little to no motivation to actually get off my ass and go do it.
