just an job update and request for a prayer
16 years ago
Im not a religious person, but there are rare occasions when I feel that I should pray for help. This happens to be one of them.
See, a while back I was convinced into thinking that college would fix all my problems, id come out of college with some grand old degree and magically have a job, or at least thats what everyone told me when I went in. Also, they told me that if I didnt go, i would lose my medical insurance through my parents.
So.... i went.
About $15K in debt(not counting the credit card debt), I realized this wasnt working, not to mention I still didnt know what I wanted to graduate with.
So, I picked the degree that I was closest to, and decided to graduate, get my debts paid off, then go talk to some people about finding a tech degree. I had all the prep courses out of the way to do a tech degree, I just was out of funding, and needed to replenish the funds.
Well, its a year after I graduated and my total debt went down by a whole 3K. See, I was an idiot, and pursued the rennovation of a room in our house thinking that i could rebuild the room and have myself a bedroom that didnt feel like the cupboard under the stairs. I was also told that if I bought materials, my parents would reimburse me for them because... naturally, it was their house and something they should have done many years ago in the first place. So, I bought materials, did all kinds of work, and then got told that they couldnt reimburse me. In the mean time, I was racking up all kinds of fees because the credit cards werent being paid off because i was putting my money into my college loans and my parents werent paying the fees on the cards(the same cards I used to buy the materials) Finally, after months of this, they paid off what they owed, and refused to pay off the fees, leaving me with an additional 1-2 thousand on the card, which I couldnt afford to pay off.
Now, here we are today. I got fired from walmart because not only did I like to argue with my managers, but they screwed up on their inventory and realized they needed to cut people. My name came up because I was considered to be someone with an attitude and therefore a liability, so Bye bye.
Yes, it was stupid to argue and to pull stupid stunts with them, but when someone throws away your food every other day and then tells you to just go back out into their store to buy more, do you honestly expect me to not tell them to go fuck themselves.
anyways, back to being today. Im jobless, so I find an ad that says if I pass all of their tests, they will train me for a job in truck driving. Mind you, Im not worried that much about the job itself, its passing the tests(ive passed the written ones and the drug tests and such) Now ive got to pass the actual pre-trip check tests and the driving exam. If I dont pass these or if I pass them, they graduate me, and the company that was supposed to give me a job... doesnt give me said job, im probably going to go over the deep end.
So, this is a request. Anyone who has any semblence of belief in god or Buddha, or whatever kind of being you believe in, Im asking that you pray for good fortune of CJ Krythos in getting this job as a truck driver. he promises that if he gets this job, he will totally do some sort of really good deed. Dont care if its buying a Christmas dinner for the homeless. But ill find something to repay this fortune. If I get this job, Ill definitely be able to pay off all my debts, help my parents with the bills, and then possibly have enough left to buy a house in a few years(that is of course if the world doesnt end in 2012). Hell, ill even start attending church when I can(will be difficult considering that ill be on the road most of the time, but im sure I can manage something).
hell, tell kage that if he can get all the furries praying, and if I get heard and get this job, ill totally buy him an electric scooter for use around the con.
yes, I know most of you furs probably dont care for religion, and neither do I most of the time, but its more or less just the organization that bothers me. Ive always felt that god existed, but he was probably rather upset with us for how we behave so often.
I thank you all for reading. Im gonna go back to studying and reviewing for all the crap im gonna have to go through this week(yes, im in the second week and we are going to start learning to actually drive the truck)
