The Lunch Hour Computer Time

I don't spend that much time on the computer surfing and what not, but during my lunch hour I'm not sure what else to do. Today I learned a few things, I should have made college drag on as long as possible (second degree anyone?) and, relating back to that, there aren't that many jobs to be had just floating around waiting for me to find and snatch up (I also learned that one of the girls I went to high school with is getting married over spring break, and that Martha Stewart is vying for Oprah's spot as world dominator but that's fairly irrelevant).

I'm a bit sick thinking about this right now, the job thing not the wedding or the almighty Martha, my internship is up in about three weeks and then its back to the Ann Taylor* for a bit. I might not make it. I need real life stimulation and sizing racks and doing send sales just don't cut it.

I'm very aware that my financial situation will not hold if I don't find a real job real soon, I mean my three jobs combined last year didn't even make me $10,000, not even close actually but there is enough money out there with my name on it that I don't get a tax refund this year... thanks again Ann Taylor*, Bitch.

But mind and money aside I need a job for another reason, and this one is not the usual: I'm stagnating. I live with my mom, in a room that is not my own, I drive a car every day to and from work and between my two jobs. I go to a gym where I'm sure any second I'm going to raped or murdered by the creeps that work out there. I don't have a social life because I'm working seven days a week and three or four of those days are 14 or so hours long, not to mention my friends are still in school. I could make new friends, yes, but that would me branching out past working every Friday and Saturday night like that's the kind of life I want to live.

I have considered other options, Peace Corps and missionary work and such but I'm not cool enough or crazy enough for either respectively. I can't afford to go back to school, I can't go back to London because my U.S. passport hinders the job search. And I'm not fit enough to strip.

What do I do with my life?

And Lunch is over.

*Ann Taylor doesn't like the use of the company's name in the social networking/new media world. But Ann Taylor can suck it because when they were trying to keep their heads above water during this here financial crisis they cut my pay by $2 an hour. I'm sorry Ann Taylor but if you want me to respect the company online the company could work a little bit harder to respect me. Suck it.
