The Vicious Circle

There is a swirling vortex circle in life. Most people end up forcing their way into it around 16-20, and it sucks them in and wont let go until they are old and wizened. I'm talking about getting a job! It is crazy what you have to do. For me to get a job, i have to be able to drive into town. To drive, ya gotta have a car. That costs money. You cant get the car without the money, and you need the job to get the money. ARRRG! Actually, I'm a little ahead of the game, since I have an old Lincoln TownCar I can use So then you go to a place and get a job app, fill it out, and turn it back in. But is that good enough? Not in this day and age. You gotta call the manager and pester him about openings and such. Its like the dudes wont even read over your app till you have kissed their shoes and pleaded to get the graveyard shift. OK, maybe Im overdramatizing this a little. And im sure there are openings out there. Actually, I can get a job at McDonalds, but I refuse to degrade myself working fastfood with pimplefaced wannabegeeks, fat girls, and slightly autistic people(my apologies). OK, deep breath.....Im done now.

what's wrong with working fast food?
My first job was at KFC.. I worked there in high school... moved to college and haven't worked fast food since *shrug*

Its all part of the ball game

I mean geez, ya get free/discounted food.. certainly can't argue with that!

Beats climbing poles in winter for utility companies.

Beats digging trenches/road construction in winter.

Or summer.

Beats sitting in a luxurious office but totally full of anxiety/stress.

Beats landscape/gardner type of work.

Flipping burgers beats a lot of jobs.

How old are you Tony?

Take the McDonalds oppurtunity up. It's easier to get another job if you already have one.

I agree with Optimus.

Take the first thing that you can get, and then build from there.
You'll look a lot better trying to upgrade to a better job than you will unemployed.

Interviewers wonder why you aren't working, and even with a good reason, it's a strike against you.
