So it occurs to me, perhaps a little late in the game, that one of the things that made it easy to write every day for national novel writing month was a fact that I always had something to write about. Even if I didn't feel like writing I could at least knock out a few hundred words, because I would just push story forward. It's a bit more difficult this time around, even though I've just started. I've written one story so far, and I have an idea for a few others, but I've yet to start because I always want to finish and post one story with each post. The seems a little unrealistic really now that I think of it. I'll have to either get used to posting a piece of the story time, which will be a little awkward for DA and FA, or I can just post whenever each story is completed. If anyone is actually reading at this point, a little of advice wouldn't hurt.
On that note, they'll just be a normal blog post.
Today it was about job hunting. Jobhunting has become one of my least favorite hobbies as I've come to do it more and more often. I do have the advantage this time of not needing the job immediately seeing as I already have one. The trade-off for that is that I actually have less time to look for a job. Unfortunately, as jobs go right now I'm still looking at waiting tables. My first choice uses bar which one of my usual customers highly recommended to me as a great place to make money and a great place in general. The only problem: the place isn't open yet. Now this wouldn't be too terrible problem seeing as I'm not in an immediate need for a job, but I can't get a hold of anyone at that place. The doors were locked when I went there and the phones go straight to answering machine. To make matters even more annoying when I try to call that customer who recommended the place to be, her phone constantly goes to the machine. There are two restaurants that make up my second choice, both very musical orientation seem very interesting. One of them I passed the interviews but lost the job to someone who apparently needed the job more than I, at least according to the manager. The other one simply hasn't called me back yet. One bar that I went to today says that they cannot take applications after 4 PM, another does not have a manager showing up until 9 PM. At one I did leave off a resume, but apparently the manager was not there is not easy to get hold of. I do have some hope of that place calling me back so. That is unlike the fine dining Mexican restaurant I went to have a nice little quiz at the end concerning one regions of California produce wine and how long it takes to age certain types of tequila, and a few other questions that in all likeliness a server can go their entire career without being asked. I also apply for a sales position at a jewelry store, at a friend's suggestion. The application was huge. I don't think that my chances of that place are very good, but the money looks excellent and I do hope I get a call from them. And finally, a restaurant that was one of my first choices with incredibly busy so there's simply no way that I was able to visit today.
The other major thing going on for me right now is of course choosing classes. I should've already been done by now, and in fact I almost am. The classes are looking fairly difficult the semester: history, astronomy, government. I also need one more class which should have been my math class, but unfortunately the website will not let me enroll despite the fact that I've completed the prerequisite class. Any attempt to get a hold of the counselor has been completely in vain. I'm locked into actually go to the school speak with the counselor because the counselors are so busy right now. It would likely be an all-day ordeal. Oh well, try to get hold of them again if this keeps up I'll just have to choose a class which is less useful and more interesting. I also need to take the time to get a hold of someone from the actual numeracy I plan to transferred to. I need to get a better idea of how I'm supposed to transfer at some point. In further exciting news, need to take a test for work. Not only is this annoying, but it's a complete waste of my time given fact I'm not planning on working there much longer. I suppose there isn't much to be done about that though.
It is a little bit too easy to get tired and stressed out. If anything this optimum more motivation to do things like writing, singing, drawing, and all those other things I find interesting and fulfilling, but usually I just find myself wasting the time that I do have available after it's all said and done. Oh well, just have to stay at.
