I'm still on the job hunt, getting a bit pissed off about how everyone handles their shit online these days... No one gets back to you. At all. Very impersonal, no one knows exactly what kind of person they're hiring... Who knows, could be a great people person. Could be someone with outstanding leadership or detail-oriented skills. Never know. Can't know with the multiple choice bullshit they do all the time. The way I see it, I have until mid March or so before I have to pack up and go back to that shit hole I came from. Deal with everyone laughing at how I'll never leave, how I'm not good enough to pull out of that sand trap of a garbage pit long enough to settle a job. Mainly deal with the basic biased "I told you so" and "you should have stayed with mama." Fucking bullshit... I'm used to taking care of people, not feeling like I'm uselessly mooching off of people to survive. I'm not a fucking leech...

Not getting online often these days simply because I don't own the computer and I'm not going to waste my sister's college time to do something as unimportant as doodling or getting on SL. I'll get on every now and then to check emails, see if I have any job offers (no responses since November), clear messages on FA, trying to be polite and sounding happy... Gets hard when I'm trying to work with other people's schedules, and I don't mean roommates' schedules. I mean business schedules. Things like "call us back and we'll update you on the position offer" and "the manager is out today, come back next week" is leaving me in the position of "well, what the fuck am I doing for the next couple of days?" Which usually leaves me filling out more silent online applications in my futile struggle to be employed... Wait, this content was already covered in the first paragraph.

So yeah, commissions are... Well, they've always been open. Always. I'll eventually find time to do them in between much more important things. Need to brush up on Paypal details, since I apparently still don't know how it works... Isn't that what EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU use when you commission people? I dunno, I still need to learn. I haven't yet been put in the position of "I just got commissioned, now how am I supposed to be paid for it?" So I figured I should learn before that actually happens. I'll eventually (with some outstanding luck) get the money to upgrade my laptop so it can handle Photoshop without simply dying. I think the last graphics card I bought was around $100, but that was for my parents' old desktop, which is sexy and I don't have it... It was cheap, but extremely efficient and it seems that'll be the best I can find on an unemployed budget. Food is more important, though... Should I be hired, I'll likely spend maybe my third paycheck on that... And I need to stop talking about my financial situation in paragraphs other than its own. >_>;

Well, I preordered Mass Effect 3 earlier this week. That's good news, right? :3 It was only a $5 charge, so I went ahead and did it. It'll be $60 when it comes out, I bet, but that'll be easy once I'm... Fucking... Goddammit. >__>;;
