The last few week have been, how you say, mentally taxing.
I can handle having no friends, as well as all my new college classes. The thing that has been killing me lately is that I cannot find a job. It's like the world is plotting against me.
Let me go into more detail. So my original plan when I moved to Dave was to work at this daycare nearby the campus. My aunt had previously worked at it and she got the director to email me an application. When I made it to Dave I sent in the application. Then a week went by, and I sent another email. Then another week. I sent another email. Finally it had been nearly a month since I sent in my first application. I finally decided to just call the daycare. Supposedly they hadn't even seen my email just until I called them, although I have reason now to doubt this is the case. The a week after I called them.. Nothing. Radio silence.
Come a week later and I'm talking to another education major. Turns out she had also tried to get a job at the same daycare, but also to no avail. She said that there were so many other applicants that it was taking them a while to go through them all. So basically I took that as I'm just not gonna get that job. I would just be one applicant swimming in a sea of other education majors trying to get that job.
So the daycare job was a bust. It was time to start searching for other employment. I sent in an application to a Runza (local fast food joint in nebraska), then I sent one to a pizza hut, then one to a dolalr general, then another daycare. Just today I tried applying to a Caseys but the stupid ass website isn't wokring. Actually I just applied to it in the middle of writing this, so we'll see how that goes.
I am the type of person where if I just sit and do nothign all day I will start to go crazy, or at least just feel incredibly unproductive. I feel like a leech on society. Less than worthless being unemployed. Lack of productivity combined with winter weather is a recipe for a declining mental health. I NEED a job or I will lose my marbles. If I don't have a job by the time I write my next blog then I think I'm just gonna start running scams to get money.
