Job Hunting...

Ooh, how exciting.
I went job hunting back in October with no luck. I only applied to six places:

1. Main Street Cafe
2. Courtyard Cafe
3. The Wok
4. Walgreen's
5. Raley's
6. GameStop

There are some places I can't work because I'm not 18, which sucks. I was going to apply at Blockbuster but couldn't because, well, I'm not 18. Apparently it has something to do with the R-rated movies they have.
Understandable in a way, because as an employee, I would be entitled to watch any movie in that store.
To me it's not really a big deal because I've been watching R-rated movies for years...but it's just a law thing.
Now I'm going to apply to:

1. Stockman's (the restaurant portion)
2. Subway
3. Port of Subs
4. Round Table Pizza
5. Pizza Hut
6. Safeway
7. Walmart
8. JD Slingers (the new steakhouse they replaced Heidi's with...they never should have done that)

And that's all I could really come up with.
But yesterday after school I did go and look around...unfortunately there are not many places to work on the right side of Auction road....
The only places I would be able to work on that side are:

1. Stockman's
2. Taco Bell
3. Sonic
4. ...Um...wait....that might be it.

Yeah...but on the other side...that's where all the potential action lies.
Please wish me luck, I really will need it.
After all, I'm not sure what Dad will do if I'm unable to find one.
He was telling me about one of his friends, Tiana (sp.?), who dropped out of the Navy and has been out of work for months.
She has work experience and is unable to find a job.
I have NO work experience and...am also unable to find a job...or was.
I still have a chance.

Gosh...I wish I knew how this happened to us, this recession thing.
I heard on the news quite a while back (over a year) that there were some people who "saw it coming"...they KNEW that this was going to happen at some point.
I mean, I don't keep up with world happenings or anything.
Usually when something happens, I'm one of the last to know about it.
That's because I just don't care....and why should I? I cannot help what happens in any way, and 99.9% of the time it doesn't affect me in any way.
So knowing about it is just...information gained.
Just today, someone I frequently talk to but have never met (don't worry, it's not like one of those Stranger Danger deals), was telling me about Plastic Beach, which is the new Gorillaz album coming out March 8th.
I didn't know about it at all.
Personally, I thought Gorillaz was through coming out with albums after D-Sides.
I didn't even hear about G-Sides, which came out BEFORE D-Sides did.
I only even heard about D-Sides because I saw it at Walmart and eventually bought it.
But yeah, I'm super excited about their new album. I'm a huge fan of Gorillaz.
But you wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you because I didn't even think to keep up with their upcoming albums. Lol.
I'm worried about how I'm going to get a hold of it though.
Or at least...be one of the FIRST to get a hold of it.
I found that there are A LOT of Gorillaz fans here in Fallon. I don't know who they are, but they are there.
I figured this out the hard way when I went to buy the D-Sides album. It was there the day I went to Walmart but couldn't buy it.
The VERY next day, when I actually had money, it was gone.
Someone had bought the last one in stock.
This happened to me TWICE!
It was so gay...but, eventually, I went to Walmart online and bought it. I got it in the mail.

Yeah...but that was an extreme tangent. Guess I'll go now.
