What Will It Take...

to get people on the phone?

Here's yet another job I can feel slipping away from me simply because multitasking is the name of the game over there. Their poor assistant is constantly juggling everything, and I just sent an email.

I hate summer, particularly since this is the third summer in a row I've been looking for employment. None of these agencies have been of any help to me, and now I'm getting desperate. I don't know if it's my resume, how I look, my height, my weight, or ???? It just feels like I've been singled to NOT have a job. My mother is of no help and pretty soon, with the college degree I broke my ass for, I'm going to be on welfare.

If my problems had begun in March and not February, I'd be ok. That's because September is the time when people are back at their desks. July and August is still vacation time and oh, joy! No one's around.

I feel absolutely screwed. I went to school, I played by the rules, I got the degree. And people with 11th grade educations and hustlers are the only ones making money because they know how to steal. Shame my ass is so big, I could walk into Scores and strip and have more money than god. I feel I'm living in the microcosm of American life. Corporations want those that fit into an existing power structure, not creativity or intelligence. I don't know what the hell is going to happen to me, and it is beginning to scare me.

That's really all I have to say.
