Day 3

I'm at my parents house today working on stuff. I came here to work on my resume since my Mac at home doesn't have Microsoft Word. You can buy it for Mac, but it's like $1,000,000 or something. Plus I can just come over so what's the big deal. I'm also surfing the web since my Internet connection at home is spotty (see previous post).

So far, I got nothing. I don't know if it's the economy, the end of the year, a combination of both or something else completely. But it sucks.

Yes, I can always go back to Mellow Mushroom, but I don't want to. I'm afraid if I do I'll get sucked back into that world (fun, easy work and easy money) and lose sight of my goal - to find a career. I do not want to be a career server. No thanks. Plus Brianne pointed something out to me on the phone last night. I'm sure she meant it as a joke or maybe she was bragging, but it scared the hell out of me. She said (in reference to me MAYBE going back to Mellow Mushroom), "isn't it funny that at 26 years old you, me, Katie, and Jennifer will all be working in pizza?"

Crap. That is not funny. That is the farthest thing away from funny. At least for me. Brianne has never really had a real job, Katie can't hold a job (not being mean, being observant and sometimes the truth hurts, but in her defense she is back in school), and Jennifer, though she does work in pizza, has a really good job as a manager at California Pizza Kitchen, a place with infinite possibilities for her to move up in (and a great salary).

I know lots of people lose jobs due to no fault of their own, but it sucks. I'm bored. I'm discouraged and I'm mad.

I'm going to watch last week's Ugly Betty on the DVR now. How's that for dealing?

In keeping with my photo journal, since I'm not at my house I can't take a picture of myself, so here's a picture I found of my Dad's truck. There's no significance to it, but I can make one up... This truck represents me! Shiny and tough and ready to take on any challenge. Like me, this truck is ready to get a job!
