1. I wake up with the voices in my head continuing the chant from the previous night..."yoooooouuu neeeeed tooooo get a joooooobbbbb." After I go through my daily Interwebs routine (check Facebook, check cracked.com, check questionablecontent.net, check fmylife.com, check textsfromlastnight.com, check the various blogs that I keep up with, check my email), I go to the UTC website and I call the stores that I'm interested in working at. I glean enough information to decide that I will submit applications to Bath and Body Works, Pac Sun, and Sun Diego.
2. I go to UTC, armed with resumes, work permit applications, and reference sheets.
3. I hand in the Bath and Body Works app to the co-manager. She seems to like me. Will find out more tomorrow, possibly.
4. I go to Sun Diego and fill out an app. It is thoroughly unimpressive due to my complete lack of previous work experience. But I fill it out anyway. Probably nothing going to happen in that arena.
5. I go to Pac Sun. The woman basically throws an app at my face and turns away without saying word one to me. When I hand it in, she glances over it, laughs a little, looks up at me, smirks, and turns away without saying word two. I promptly leave.
6. Disheartened, I go to Starbucks and do something that I haven't done in almost two years. I buy myself a Java Chip frappachino and I enjoy it very much. I am substantially less disheartened.
7. I go to Bookstar. I buy $100 worth of books because I feel like it, and because their Stephen King section is truly impressive (not anymore, now that I've bought everything) Hoorays.
8. I go home. I see an ad on craigslist that gives me the idea to submit an app to Coffee Bean.
The application is basically a complete psychological test and criminal background check. "Many people do things that make me very angry. Agree or Disagree? Most people cannot be trusted. Agree or Disagree? I have forcibly injured someone during a previous job position. True or False?" The Coffee Bean may be
taking itself a little bit too seriously. But at least I know I wouldn't be working with weirdos.
Tomorrow, I will do the Encinitas circuit. I'll have more updates then.
