Sick of this vicious job experience cycle

Oh, do you mean the one where you need to have experience to get a job, but can't get a job to get experience? I hate that it happens all the time. Sometimes even having any education isn't helpful either, much as people like to say that they want it.

Or, don't have too varied of a work history, with too many jobs, because that just tells them that you have no loyalty, and won't stay long-term with them.

I know what you mean. There are jobs I'd love to have, but without further education, or more experience, I'm basically stuck with the same dead-end jobs I've had, and not making anywhere near what I should be for where I am in my life.

Dang, that sucks. I'd randomly looked at positions with the local airlines, and told my mom about how I could possibly apply for being an air stewardess, and her immediate response was that 'she didn't think that I was a good fit for the position.' I wasn't even really serious about even applying, but that kind of hurt that she would shoot me down on something that I might think to be interesting. If I had a more free schedule to work, and didn't have to worry about being 'tied' here to home, there are plenty of jobs I could be applying for, and possibly could have a new job.

Gonna head off to bed now. I've been pretty good the last couple nights about getting to bed a bit earlier, and getting up at a decent time, but tonight is one of those where I'm not super tired. Probably going to need some help getting to sleep earlier the next couple nights.

Heh, I've worked as a cashier for almost two years, and lots of screaming kids, and annoying adults have come through my line. Tonight I had one of the worst ones, as far as annoying, but thankfully I have oodles of patience, most of the time.

Well if it arrives at the location you can ask the seller to ship it again.

Thats why I need to come up with the $10 seller included shipping when she sent it originally so I have to cover the shipping to get it back to me.

Congrats to Queenie! :D

That sucks Ivvy. :( Hopefully things work out for you.

Gonna have a long day tomorrow. I'm going to have to get up early so I can go pay the balance on a car I'm buying, and then head to the MVA to get it registered and have tags so it can be driven home. Then I'm probably going to have to do some stuff around the house before going to work tomorrow night.

Yeah, and most days will be long like that, though not with daily trips to the MVA, thankfully, but still long in the fact that I should be awake by 9am, and need to stay awake until midnight, or sometimes after, because of work. Sometimes I wish I was able to live on my own, but I know that it's not possible at this time. :(

Yeah, my mom goes back to work in less than two weeks, so I have to use this time before she goes back, to practice getting into a better sleep schedule, and actually waking up at the time she wants.

Going off to meditate right now, trying to see if this will help center me. Only my second day, but it seems to help already.
