| So I was up late watching movies online and probably went to sleep around 5am... woke myself up by 10am, I am soooo tired right now, but dealing with it. I go downstairs and my mom's cranking about one thing, my dad's on the phone being loud in the next room, and so I'm like, Whats up? Mom looks at me and gets furious. I suppose that my timing wasn't all that great, and I know I didn't do anything wrong by coming downstairs and just seeing what was up. Anyway, she looks at me and she's like, Your father is on the phone trying to find you a job. So I'm like... why? She's like, well, you cant go to school without any money. I'm quite aware of this, but I think that it's my own responsibility to find a job, not my dads. And so he was on the phone with some staffing place, and my mom continues, saying that I'm going to have to take the bus service that runs through the next two towns, and I'm starting to object because I do not take the bus. I hate the idea of it, not because it's in any way degrading, because it's not, just I hate being in a place with complete strangers alone. I walk into the next room to go back upstairs and I overhear my dad saying that I'm lazy and just sitting around the house doing nothing but vegging. Is that an appropriate thing to say to someone who doesn't know me? I'm so mad that my own father would say that to anyone he hopes will give me a job. I can assure you that they're not going to hire someone with that description. The fact that my own father would say something like that in general when I'm home day in and day out helping my mom clean is unfair. :( |
Hey! Riding the bus is awesome! I used to drive to work and then I found that the bus stop right by my house ran almost all the way to my building. Now I don't have to pay for parking and I get to read on the way to work. It's a win-win. Oh...and I only have to fill up my gas tank once a month. So I guess it's a win-win-win. I love it. I also met a bunch of people on there after a while. |
| thats pretty harsh of your dad :( dont you already have a job? if i were you i'd find something on my own...maybe you could look into on campus jobs? i wouldnt want to ride the bus either...totally relate to that. |
Well, I've taken the bus and dislike it a lot, it's akward for me to sit next to a complete stranger...
I don't have a job, nobody was hiring in the city and where i live, all the businesses are family owned and operated. So chances of me finding a job are slim to none in this town. |
