Well, summer isn't as much of a reprieve as I had hoped it would be. I was supposed to have my job from last year, and the company assured me that I would up until the week after college let out. That's when I learned that another person was vying for the job. As lady luck would have it, he got the job and I was left to find summer employment in the worst job market in 20 or more years. ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry that the other person got the job. Management has to make the decision that's in their best interest, but if I had known about this two months ago, I could have applied for internships and would have gotten an offer from at least one. Instead, I'm left to look through the meager help wanted adds and resort to waiting tables. UGH, I loathe the very thought of waiting tables.
I'm just not fast enough for that kind of work. Give me a project and I can get it done, but ask me to carry five meals on a tray and deliver it in under a minute in a restaurant full of people is like asking a bull to not break anything in a china shop. They're are bound to be accidents. :(''''
Anyway, life at home is kinda stressful too. Dad is getting strung out with the prospect of me actually growing up. Plus, I haven't been living at home for the past 9 months, so neither of us know how to proceed from here. He still sees me as a teenager that knows nothing about the world, but I know how to solve some of life's problems already. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm not fully ready to go out on my own yet. I don't have a job or all of the necessary life skills to succeed just yet, but I don't have to be constantly monitored either. I guess it's kinda touch and feel for now. Oh well..............hopefully this summer will improve.
