They took our jobs!!

It sucks not having a job right now. My step dad has already moved to Japan and my mom leaves to be with him in May. My seasonal job at Eternal is awesome but it hasn’t helped me, the fall seems to be the time most employers are hiring and that’s when I work. I’m trying to better myself through school but employers don’t seem to see that. I guess to them it just means less flexibility with my hours, so they have more of an incentive to hire someone else. I’m not going sit here and blame my personal troubles on the economy, but at the same time it sucks competing for jobs with people who are my parents’ age. Employers can be very picky right now with how many applicants are out there. I’ve been wondering for a while if my 4 years of working at a board shop makes me look bad, like they can already assume I’m some lazy stoner punk. I’ve had a few more jobs before I was 18 and I’ve never been fired from any of them, but I didn’t keep any of them that long either. I hate how gaps between working looks bad too because if you don’t have a job right now it’s inevitable that your going to have one for a while. My gaps are legitimate too: I blew out my knee, I have a seasonal job, and I’m a full time student who lives with his parents. There were a few times when I just quit, and I do regret burning my bridges, but even those reasons couldn’t make me look bad. I had to quit as a snowboard instructor at Mt. Rose because I wasn’t getting enough hours, I quit at Quiznos because my manager was playing “favoritism” with her niece (they were both lazy pieces of shit), and I had to quit the car wash because the exposure to all the dust and dirt was making me sick (I used to have asthma). Ok that’s the end of my blog just felt like bitching some more, I’m already over it.
