Be Your Own Pet.

okay, that just sounds horribly inappropriate. but anyhow.

I’m a single, cash-strapped and pretty much desperate teenager looking for a job. any job. currently, i’m unemployed, unless you count freeloading off my parents as a valid occupation (i think it is).

however, freeloading is a nasty business, because your skin has to be really thick to be able to stretch out you hand (almost every day) and, ahem, ask for twenty bucks to spend. or squander, more like, considering the dire global economic landscape we’re in, blah blah blah. i’ve tried out this freeloading thing for about two months now, and day by day The Boss is slashing my salary by large amounts. why she hasn’t fired me, i don’t know, which makes me think that despite the poor working conditions and unfriendly employer-employee relations, The Boss is a kind soul after all.

But back to business. I’ve been trying high and low, going through the classifieds with a microscope, looking for some one to get me out of my situation. in this case, skills i’ve learnt in my freeloading experience come in handy, because i’ve become rather shameless in badgering friends for elusive recommendations and phone numbers.

“the wait is killing me.” Someone said that. Now i know! It’s amazing how every single  prospective employer chucks you aside with the words: “Give me your number, and I’ll call you back for an interview.” the minute i hear those words my heart plummets. right now, i’m (still) waiting for 5 employers to, err, “Call Me Back”. We all know what that means.

However, patience is a virtue. Please tell me it’s true! So I’ll keep looking and making phone calls. I’ll harrass people, I’ll convince people that I’m young, maybe not so attractive, definitely single, and more importantly WITH BOUNDLESS ENTHUSIASM TO SERVE OTHERS!! A PEOPLE PERSON AND A TEAM PLAYER!!! WILLING TO PUSHED AROUND, BUT WILL NEVER COMPLAIN!!!! READY, to PRODUCE RESULTS AND ACHIEVE DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!*
