    You and me both.

    I did get hired by a temp agency back in November to work at Crocs during the Holidays in their customer service department. You know, the folks who make those shitty plastic shoes that it seemed like everyone was wearing six years ago? Anyway, I was hired on at 30 hours a week, and was cool with that as it would be the barest minimum I could work at the wage they offered and still make ends meet. Then they gave me 20 hours a week. I had to be up at 5am every morning to drive into work and do a short-ass shift, only to have to dip into my savings to pay the bills. Seeing as the training was shit and there were like 30 team leads, all of whom were stressed out and consequently unwilling to help any of us new hires figure out what the hell we were supposed to be doing, I figured that wasn't cutting the mustard and quit.

    The fucked up thing is that I was contacted by a representative from another job-placement agency during that first week of training who wanted to offer me a full-time position at the IBM building across the street at $15 bucks an hour plus commissions, but I couldn't accept it because when I took this job it came with a one-year binding contract with the temp-agency who does the recruiting for Crocs, which included a clause that forbade me from taking a job with competing agencies. The first thing I did when I quit was call the guy back and see if he was still looking for people, but alas he was not. I haven't been able to find work since.

    Such is my life.

    That GIF is why I watched Galaxy Quest for the first time recently, was not disappointed at all.

    I need a job too. I've applied everywhere, including a Mcdicks. And yet, no luck.

    Having 15 jobs on your CV that you've worked for 3 days at a time isn't good, bro.

    I've only had 3 jobs. Thank you very much. 2 of em I got fired from. One was 'cause they couldn't find the place for me, and the other 'cause I just wasn't fit enough for the job. There are just no places that are hiring around here. I might have to go to a big city. I mean hell, I already go to College in one.

    Big cities in Iowa don't exist

    Des Moines is a great example of where jobs actually are.
