I AM AN AMERICAN!!!

This is me and my new car...
that I can't afford
to put gas in....

Soooo… I officially feel like an American, I just got a new car (Volvo bitch) moved into a new place and racked the credit card up with new clothes..(yah know you gotta look fly on the job) and now I have been laid off (if only I had just been laid.. things would be better) so yes now with mounting bills and a depleting bank account I am officially a causality of the economic climate (were not sub-tropic any more MD its just sub-fucked). So I have gone through every ad in the Washington post, indeed.com and other local websites applied for jobs I am way over qualified for ( welcome to Wal-Mart may be my new saying) and for jobs I have no experience in (applying to jobs is a numbers game, I throw enough paper at it something will happen right.. ahhhh…) and still nothing has happened. I feel like I am stuck in this ever churning whirl pool of f’ery with no end in site.

Is this suppose to be inspirational…
if so I want that guys old job…cuz he blows at it

I have a bachelors degree (which is just as useful to put on your resume as your favorite color) 3 plus years of admin assistant (yah I am good at being someone’s bitch) and other various volunteer projects and yet I am as marketable to companies as a 1 legged dog. I am competing for jobs with people who have 10+ years in the field or people who said fuck it 3 years ago and got a masters degree in their field and am told by HR to just keep trying.

It’s really a loose loose situation, even the good ole boy systems of getting a job through a friend isn’t working because everyone who has a job has 5 friends in need of a job. I just really do not know what to do, like many recent grads I will prob go back to slinging drinks to other people who have lost their jobs, and passing out my resume to every one at the bar (here’s your beer, and my resume do with it what you will..) but it really just doesn’t seem fair, my friends who didn’t even try to go to college (yah we all thought you were slackers.. look who's laughing now) have great jobs and here I am an honor student with nothing to show for it but bills. I thought going to college guaranteed you a job when you got out… it took me 9 months just to find the job I just got laid off from and now I have to wait another 9 months to find another meaningless job that has

nothing to do with my education or even interests… (WTF WORLD) I keep trying to tell myself everything happens for a reason, but what if the only reason that this happened was just to show me how messed up my life is.. or why I should have watched what I ate and just became a stripper ( titties are always in high demand) honestly it’s looking bleak out there. Not that I would wish bad on anyone else I just would hope that others are going through what I am right now (misery loves company). If anything this should serve as a cautionary tale to those still in school or even those working, nothing in this world is for sure so always have backups, and be prepared for the worst.
