    My Horrible Summer (so far)

    By summer I mean since when school ended, btw...

    So, after finals, I stayed around in Atlanta for a bit. Didn't have a job, but my dad got me one with the Prosecutor's Office in my home county of Ocean Country, NJ. So, since I was going to in NJ the entire summer, I decided to stay in Atlanta for an extra week and a half. Of course during this time my and g/f broke up. At the time it was kinda amicable and a 'break for the summer'.. but since I came back she's been acting like she broke up with me for good. Why? Does it make her feel more powerful? Of course before I left I asked her to check my mail and give in my rent checks, which she's done, but that's wierd.

    I mean, she probably wonders if I have any other friends. Not when you wanted me to spend all my time with you! Hell, I basically followed you to Atlanta. Evil women.

    Anyway, I have the job to fall back on right? Wrong! Apparently they have to do a background check and then submit it to the Freeholders of the County to vote on... but that's gonna be ANOTHER 3 weeks!

    Not that I hate hanging around with you guys, but it's getting boring! And, there is a chance that I'll fall short on my July rent payment because of it! So I need another part time job. I'm interviewing tomorrow with the Children's Cancer Fund to be a telemarketer (just what I wanted to do this summer ). Even that doesn't assure me of anything (especially if I only get paid every 2 weeks at the county job and my first week there isn't a pay week). Fortunetly my mom said she'd loan me the rest of the money for a week until I get my paycheck. But, it still sucks!

    So, I'm going to the mall this afternoon to see if anyone needs someone to work weekends. If I can get a decent wage and a weekend job, I'll take that and forget about the telemarketing (3 jobs, no way).

    I just can't wait for this summer to be over and me to be back in Atlanta.... unfortunetly it's only June and school starts in August .

    So there is my crap summer... anyone else have a story to share?

    Up until yesterday my summer was going extraordinarily well.

    Every summer I need to get some kind of surgery it seems.

      I think my last 12 months are too long..what about the last 6 months? Nah, still too long.

      Lets just say a year without any income is a pain in the ass, though I am more than willing to swallow pride and live at home, so homelessness and hunger are not in te cards.

      Perhaps in the next few weeks I will go into retail.... And then by next year, i will flee back to school.

        I almost fell into that trap in college. Never stick with a woman that wants to cut you off from your friends. In the end, you'll have neither her, nor the friends. Luckily for me, I realized that before it was too late.

            The problem is that I have friends... they are just in Atlanta! Everyone up in Jersey has graduated and is gone... maybe a few remain. If I had a job in Atlanta I'd be fine.

              Sorry about the girlfriend but you should never supplicate by following a girl. If she wanted to be with you, she'd have stayed.

              Next, the job thing. Looking for a job here as well, but there's **** all unless you fancy stuck behind a smoky bar or swiping goods across a barcode all day. Out of the choice of the two, I'll do the latter. You've probably got a better choice there.

              Try and find a site like www.dooyoo.co.uk - you write articles and each view gets you about 5 cents. Find a busy site and a good article can get you $5 or $6. Rattle out six a day and it's not a bad supplementary income. You'd have to search for a similar American one though.

                Dude. Develop a relationship with a good temp firm, so that they can tide you over during the tough times.
                I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  Women are a pain in the arse. A girl spoiled my entire summer last year, and I'll be buggered if I'm going to let it happen this year as well.

                    Dan: Yeah, now I realize .

                    I'd have prefered to stay in Atlanta, but my dad was insisting that he pulled strings to get me this job. Way to pull strings, dad .

                    I do wonder how many mall stores need someone just for the weekends. Maybe I should have been a substitute teacher for these few weeks .

                      1) There is no such thing as a temporary breakup.
                      Get over the hag.

                      2) Don't do tele-marketing, no matter what.
                      I hate telemarketers, no matter if they're desperate.

                      3) If you're that bored, help me mess with Ming.

                            That sounds pretty harsh out of context...
