My first job was weedeating a giant hill for the local marina.

Paid nice, but I hated it. Made me realize how much nicer it is not having to do tons of manual labor for work.

It's the perfect entry-level job for me! All I'd have to do is put records in their alphabetical spot, minimize contact with people which is good because I kinda hate people at this point in my life, spend a few hours every day in the aisles of the beacon of nostalgia and familiarity that is the record store, and maybe buy a thing or two cheaper than usual when I feel like it. Plus it'd be a pretty good hang-out for my few real-life friends that I want to entertain outside of school.

But then again, I'm not likely to get the job for a multitude of reasons, and I'm sure I'd still be a loser around any friends I share the time with anyway. Life is peachy, isn't it?

Hey don't get so down on yourself, I'm sure you can get this kind of job :)

Still, the swell-hang-out-spot factor of the record store would be ruined by my inability to entertain people, I'm sure. Yet another wasted opportunity that would be, if I even do get it.

Well, fuck, I thought I was doing okay today so far.

Jobs? Eh, I would love one, but nothing really grabs me. You need a degree and some form of apprenticeship for what I really want, so I still have to wait for it. Working in a major retailer for the video games section is an option, but you have to serve your mandatory military year. Fuck off is the answer I almost got when I asked them if a soon to be college goer can work there.

When you work in a shop you don't really need to entertain people, just help them.

If you need to, you can vm me :)

My first job was working at this bookstore in a nearby mall. I got fired for reading on the job.

No, I mean bringing the few real-life friends I've acquired over to look around a bit and talk. Especially a certain friend of mine who's ridiculously cute. :I

I wish I could be a good friend instead of a sometimes-entertaining weirdo.

Least you have friends. Silver linings and all that.

I do to, but being the entertaining weirdo has its perks. Stealth "your friends not getting some" like there's no tomorrow is one for example. They'll never know what hit em.

I enjoy trolling my friends. It has reached the point where they can't tell if I'm fucking with them or not.

I can't focus on the positive in anything lately. Fuck it, I'm just gonna put CDs in their places and not deal with people for a few hours every day instead of worrying about whether or not my friend is enjoying herself (and it's usually a her :I), and whether or not she even likes being around me. Fuck people, music's better.

Me too. They think because I didn't have proper grades or the fact that I pick up on things slowly makes me a bit slow in the head, but really I just let them be in their little worlds. Truth be told I'm actually smarter then they think I am, and I have actually fucked with their heads many a time.

Damn, I just found out that the average chef here gains 3-5k per month just for the starting period, and the more advanced chef easily gain 7-10k. I think I'm going to enjoy this cooking business. And Music>People? Nah, people are cool. But music does offer its moments.

I used to be that way. I enjoyed putting on music wherever I went, and just listening to that.

But as of late, I really haven't been feeling music. I've been eager to talk to people. It's had its advantages and disadvantages, but I'm overall satisfied with it.
