OMG, CollegeAmerica has a new job placement person. She just left me a voicemail on my phone. Can this person actually assist me in finding a new job? I doubt it. I wonder why Kirsten left. Maybe because she can't find anybody jobs? That the only successful placements on the placement board were for people moving up in companies they already worked for? That several people on that board were listed more than once to make it look like people were actually finding jobs? That many of those placements were for a company that went under a year ago? That she had no idea exactly what kind of jobs people coming out of that school were actually qualified for? I know that sounds harsh, but dang it. Don't send my resume to a company saying they need a system administrator extremely qualifed in Novell, etc. when the school doesn't even offer such classes. I really need to get cracking on the job search, again. I haven't been trying much here. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a couple of days off from work and find something.

I swear I can be such a dumbass. I bought new shoelaces yesterday at WalMart. I absolutely hate the ones that came with my shoes as they're way too long and don't stay tied. So, I either threw them away after I emptied the bags or they never made it into my shopping bags at the store. While at the grocery store today I got another pair and, dang it, I tried to throw them away again! That's what happens when you try to function on 8 hours of sleep over two days.

Current mood: drained
Have I mentioned that I HATE shopping?

I had to go to WalMart today for the necessities (tp, paper towels, shampoo, deodorant, etc.). Is it so freakin' hard for people to say "Excuse Me" once in a while? I was looking at some storage containers that I need to organize my scrapbooking mess and this one dumb bitch just stands there giving me the evil eye. A simple "excuse me" would've made me move over to let her have a look. I went to a different aisle to look at some other containers and she shows up over there, too. I gave her the crustiest look I could manage and she left. I went over to the toiletries section and it was like a totally different world. People were being polite, excusing themselves, and smiling at each other. It was almost bearable. It's amazing how far a little common courtesy goes. It's really a shame that a lot of people were either not taught or refuse to use their manners.

I went to Lowes next as I still need storage containers and some cork tiles for a bulletin board. I left because I couldn't get anybody to help me. I really prefer Home Depot, so I'll try there tomorrow.

The final stop was King Soopers. I really miss being able to shop in the middle of the night (like I used to be able to do when I was a closing pizza driver). People in a grocery store act like sharks in a feeding frenzy. Drives me crazy. A good thing was they were carrying some of the new SoBe flavors that I wanted to try. That particular KS must have the slowest checkers in the state, though. The guy whose line I chose was ticked that it was past the time for his break and the checker that was supposed to relieve him was shooting the breeze with another checker and the head clerk wasn't doing anything about it. He was so busy bitching about the whole thing with the caddie that he wasn't doing his job. This is the kind of crap that stupid unions produce.

Does no one make sweat pants anymore? I used to buy them at either WalMart or Kmart, but they don't have any. I even checked the men's section. I've tried looking online and everything. I really, really need some new sweat pants!!!

Marcus is watching the Wrestlemania tape that someone at work lent him. I used to be big into wrestling, but I just can't get into it anymore. Ever since Vince McMahon bought up the entire wrestling world and all the old guys like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan are back, it's just ridiculous.

Well, I guess I better get to bed. I'm sleepy.
