Job?

Let's start at this past summer:

Last spring, I started applying for jobs in late April/early May, before I got out of school. I honestly lost track of how many places I applied for, but I know I broke my record of applying for 13 places before I got a job at the airport. The reason why I couldn't get back in was from complications of re-applying, getting an appointment to get fingerprinted, and then waiting for the FBI to clear my identity, validating parking. . . it was just too complicated and my boss and I missed each other too many times.

I almost got a job at St. Anne's school for girls in Albany as a TA- I was hired on the spot and given a tour, the rules, the hours, the pay, and so on. I was told I'd get a call to come in for a second interview when I was assigned to the department I'd be working for (science or math or something). I waited a week then called *them* back, and it was pretty much just a "lol sorry we got no open positions I was just about to send you a letter." I got a letter a few days later with someone else's name on it and a response to a different application for another position.

So I applied to Best Buy, and they actually called me back. They told me to try to get a job up in Plattsburgh since it's where I would be most of the year, then the transferrance of jobs would be easier. I was told to apply for the "seasonal" job which is from thanksgiving through Christmas, instead of summer. Well I applied up here in Plattsburgh, and after many calls and even meeting them in person they never made an effort to get back to me. Meanwhile, my mom tipped me off that Crossgates was hiring when she was getting a new laptop, and I applied again immediately. They called me back last weekend. We played phone tag for a bit before I finally spoke to the manager yesterday. Since I can't work from Thanksgiving through January, since I kinda have, y'know, school, I couldn't get the job. Being able to work from Nov. to Dec. is pretty much the "make it or break it" point for the Best Buy at Crossgates. They told me to re-apply for the summer, which is ironic, since they told me they only accept seasonal people at this time of year when I applied *last* summer. . .

I feel like I don't even have a job right now, even though I've technically only been a tutor for a week. I've told the instructor(s) that I'm available, and I know for a fact that some people need extra help in this class. Its pretty frustrating since my pay depends on other people who are actually motivated to do well in school. I've even thought about applying for being a bagger or something at Price Chopper and I could do the employee transfer from there, but then I remembered that the Price Chopper back home hired too many people, and they honestly can't accept anymore people. I'm going to try St. Anne's again this summer and hope it turns out ok

but in the mean time. . . can I borrow $20?

So uh. . .

I have to do "blog participation" for my online library course. Not on here, of course pffft that would be HELL. But every week I have to put two comments on that week's "post" about whatever subject we happen to be talking about. So I feel like I'm already blogging when I do that, hence my lack of updates. I also kinda sorta forgot my list of "things to do" on here, and I'm kinda too lazy to look through the archives to find it. . .
