Dear God, why do you keep fucking with me?

Okay, so lemme rewind to last week, my sister-in-law tells me about a position with State Farm, the position of Auto Estimator.  I work from home and drive the company vehicle to customer's homes/businesses and look at their vehicles and estimate the damages.  I am told I am well qualified because a person with mechanical experience and a bachelor

true, but I will be horribly disappointed if my clue turns out to be a red herring :-(

Maybe we all should become pirates, I think Weston will have to be the captain because of obvious reasons, plus he'd probably build the boat too.

I'm really tired of things like this happening. i'm kind of in a similar bizarre situation. Up until two weeks ago, I had 3 months after graduation to find a job field or I'd be kicked out of Canada. So I figured out what the minimum number of summer school courses I would need to take to push back graduation three more months would be, and I put those aside so that in reality I would have 6 months to search for a job in my field, cause with the writer's strike and all of that jazz I didn't want to risk anything. So I'm all enrolled, and I've applied for my documents and all that jazz, Canada decides that they like it when foreign students can stick around and they change everything. So now I'm graduating late for absolutely no reason, enrolled in lame classes because York has terrible summer course options, and with all of the upheval, my work permit became voided until the new policy issued one arrives .... in a month and a half. I guess I'll be eating a lot of ramen noodles til then

Oh, but I forgot to say in my rant, I think the transition from college to the real world is kind of weird for everyone, but it sounds like you have good qualifications and a lot of options if this one doesn't work out. I'll be crossing my fingers for you, good luck!

Thanks!, I hope you stuff irons out too, it sounds like it is as fun and tedious as untangling christmas lights, and sitting around and waiting is always balls.

By the way, you should stop saying "and all that jazz" and instead start saying "and shit," cause "all that jazz" makes me picture a large jazz band is somehow incorporated with the stuff you are talking about.

oh that real world. maybe I'll make it there one day...

...which would be easier if not for everyone around me. I guess Jaime, Josh, and Dad think I'm kidding when I say I dug myself in deep and am on the verge of failing at least one class. That must be the case - otherwise you'd think they'd leave me the fuck alone so maybe, just maybe, I could actually get some fucking work done.

The good news is, I made a SpudBuster. SpudBuster I, actually. the pipe dope is curing and I should be pissing off vegetables and neighbors by tomorrow afternoon.

could we shoot a billiard ball out of the potato gun?

[notanavragelosr]

SpudBuster I? not so much. The currently-in-planning-pending-real-world-results-of-SpudBuster-I SpudBuster II? yes. Right now the barrel of the new one is sized perfectly for tennis balls, which dad finds in large quantity at work.

Also, my ignition system (which is, quite literally, ripped off a car) doesn't like rain at all. Lame.

[z_eraser13]

I see, with this newer model we need to launch billiard balls at brick walls and find out what happens

[xxxmetalpunkxxx]

it's not that bad dood. undue stress doesn't do you any good. plus being nervous makes you seem unprepared for the "real world" to potential employers. just play it cool. and don't talk a lot. ask a couple questions to show interest. and don't be too easy of a sell.

[z_eraser13]

Yeah, I just hope I don't psyche myself out waiting and botch an interview

[xxxmetalpunkxxx]

go do some fake interviews for jobs you'll never take. it isn't, of course, exactly the same, but it's practice. and i'm sure it will spurn some interesting happenings to tell about.

[z_eraser13]

This is true, hey, do porno situations ever come up in real life? because it would be wicked awesome if I showed up for the job interview and somehow ended having sex with the person who was interviewing me, those interviews do not look difficult.
