Time Sure Flies ... Bzzz, Bzzzzz

I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving. Shit where the hell did the whole fucking year go???? Maybe it's because I've been unemployed for the majority of the year but it feels like it went by super duper fast. Not just fast mind you, but super duper fast. I really don't know where this year has gone. And worst yet, I have done nothing. Absolutely nothing. I haven't finished any major knitting projects, I haven't even started writing that novel I'm going to write, I haven't lost weight, and most importantly I haven't gotten a new job yet. I'm hurting man. I really need to start making some income. I'm so desperate that I'm even answering job postings on Craig's List. And most of those are complete and total scams, but what else am I supposed to do???
Anyways, the interview I had at the beginning of the month didn't work out, I was turned down because of my credit. How am I supposed to keep up my credit score when I've been unemployed for 10 months???? I'm sorry but when money ran out I decided to buy food instead of making timely payments on my credit cards. And recently, I haven't even been sending payments and the calls have started but I don't know what they expect me to do? Sell a kidney? I'm beginning to feel desperation breathing down my neck. I completely broke down earlier today when I was driving to pick up my brother from school. I don't know what I'm going to do next.
I had two more interviews this week and then another one on Wednesday I need one of these to work out. Because if they don't, I'm not sure what else I can do.

Another Week, Another Interview

Sunday night ... shudders of nervousness run through my body. I have a job interview tomorrow. I hate interviews. I really and truly suck at them. I don't know why. But, it's either nothing comes to mind and I'm a bad mime trying to take up time with useless hand gestures and contrived facial expressions meant to convey understanding or my mouth doesn't stop to communicate with my brain and all this blather tumbles forth. Either way not a good way to make an impression on a potential employer. This time I've at least made it to the interview. I've been applying for every conceivable job I could think of for the last couple of weeks and haven't gotten a call. Not even Wal-Mart called me, and they hire everybody and their dog. I'm not sure why they wouldn't want me. I have a theory ... I think it's because I have a college degree. Honestly, that's the only thing that makes sense. I have retail experience, customer service experience, I speak english, and I know all the local Wal-Marts like the back of my hand. If I were Wal-Mart management I'd be jumping through hoops to get me in, but alas no, not even a call. Is there a certain degree of dumbness you must obtain before being considered for a low level job of Wal-Mart cashier? I think so. I think there are hidden questions in the Wal-Mart application that only people with IQ's in the single digits see, weeding them from the herd so that Wal-Mart management can employ them. Don't believe me? Go to your local Wal-Mart, ask the nearest associate, if you can find one, and ask them the simplest question such as "Do you carry buttons?" and all you'll get is a blank stare and them looking around frantically trying to find another hapless associate to pass you off to. And yes, that is a preposition and yes I will end that sentence with said preposition.
I'm still working on my double knitted scarf, it's slow work this double knitting thing. I need to find a new project but I've been worried about tomorrow's interview all week long so I haven't wanted to start anything new that might take actual concentration. Hopefully, tomorrow will go smoothly and then I can cast on Aeolian Shawl from Knitty.
