one downfall of summer....summer jobs.

and so it begins. the one thing i did not miss about being home.... applying for lame summer jobs.
they're all the same: name, have you ever been a criminal, what other boring jobs have you had, who likes you enough to get a phone call from a stranger potentially asking if you are a good person, where did you go to school, and sign here after all the tiny print that you won't read.

call me crazy but i'm pretty sure i can't be accurately summed up by filling in the blanks to those questions. the only word i can come up with to describe it is: stupid. really really stupid. if i were a manager i would look at my application and say, cool... i dont care. why is applying for a job so fucking frustrating. you sit through high school trying to build a kickass resume for college and then you sit through college so you can....? write down on some generic application your past employers and minimum wage job you had. if that isn't the definition of success, i don't know what is.

it's pretty silly. does anyone really enjoy working minimum wage jobs, folding stacks of clothes that are exactly the same, running someone's meal to their table, seating some miserable demanding couple, making a soy double shot latte, or cleaning a mess someone's four children left? nahh, but thank you consumer america for making practically every job SUPER lame.

i'd rather stick pencils in my eyes than fill out another identical application for some chain store that won't hire me.
