i so so hate looking for a job

saw ter at tiong yesterday, she looked kinda blur but managed to say hi atleast after staring at me. hahah. anw, the hols have been (really quite) boring. looking for a job still to earn some extra pocket money rather than slacking at home. i guess i've finally figured out that finding a job may well be much tougher than doing it... my very own adventure for the past few weeks, so here goes...

mom says she'd rather have me out of the house working than staying at home all day bothering her. fine. so... walks along the streets in orchard. sees people giving out flyers and thinks. this could be fun. gets out saturday's recruit/classified hoping to find a similar job. can't find any. ohwell, searches for sth else to do. calls narelle. learns that she has a job at raffles city jason's marketplace. wants to give it a try. receives a call from narelle the next day saying a lady at her counter just quit working today. says that maybe i could try. no harm trying. goes to raffles city the next day. meets the manager/boss/supervisor/some highpost. fills in the (super super) long job application form. hands it over to her. "no job experience?". uhh duh. only 16 what d'you expect. "only can work for 2 or 3 months?" duhh. c'mon i need to study y'know. "uh. ok. you wait outside first. i'll go ask my boss" fine. joins narelle in her breaktime after signing off. she tells narelle "tell your friend we cant take her in. what's the use if she can only work for 2/3 months?". ok. fine. fails again. could have atleast told me earlier and save me the trouble of filling up that long long form. waste ink. waste time. waste effort. anw. wonders, isnt narelle in the same position as me? that she can also only work for 2/3 months? hahah. so. calls up another friend and learns that she's tutoring a primary school kid. wonders, if i could try that. tries to contact her again hoping i could try teaching math. no reply. or perhaps you can try asking anyone (?) and so, i am still waiting. *rolls eyes. maybe i should just stick to being at home.

oh and. Happy Birthday lit consultant! HAHAH (:
