Well, I've been looking for a job for quite some time now. I actually started applying back in March. Neither of the two interviews that came from all that application panned out. So now, two weeks unemployed, I filed for unemployment.

I could, I suppose, start roaming the neighborhood and try to get hired by 7 Eleven or some local restaurant. I mean, hey, it would pay the bills until I got something more in my line. But I was hoping to hold out for something a little more real and lasting. And where I could be guarunteed of hearing five words of well spoken English at least once a week.

So am I being too proud? or too prejudiced? I'd like to think it was just good sense. Though I could just be scared. I mean, I don't know if I can really handle putting together hoagies or using a cash register for rushing customers all day. I'm not a people person, and I'm not really organized (so that knocks out customer service jobs and secretarial work). Really, all I'm good for is sitting at a computer and doing stuff. I can do that really well.

Please keep praying. I don't want to be on unemployment for long.

I vote with good sense. We don't even want our boys working in those places, let alone our girls. We call them "stop and robs." Workers in them have shorter lives. I've never seen the statistics, but lots of anectodtal evidence. (Blogs need to have spell checkers.)

I'm glad I found your blog! I've been wondering what's up with you! Like you, I am looking for work in a city with unemployment 2% higher than the national average! Yikes!! But I got a 2 day temp assignment. For real though, I'm considering moving back down to SC with my parents...I have more job leads there! :)
