Hello people. Allow me to explain my week-long exprience in the working world.

I started working at a factory on Monday of last week. I worked the first day, then was sent home the next two days. Obviously, I thought this was bullshit because they hired too many people and did not have enough jobs. So, I went to another company that was hiring for the same factory to get a job in a different area, same place.

This is a good theory, but it is still a theory. Being able to work on the assembly line rather than stand around and do nothing after lunch because there is no work left to do seems like a better job for me. At least if I am doing something the whole time I’m not going to be bored out of my mind, though I’d be busy, but I’m fine with that.

Anyway, back to my plight. I quit the job that I only worked at for two days–though I came in all four days I was supposed to–on Friday, so I could start my next job at the factory on Monday, yesterday. Well, I went in yesterday and found that I am currently on a waiting list for the next permanant job opening, but there is not one open right now. Which, obviously, blows.

So, that means that I went in yesterday for no reason. Today, I went in again and was told that, again, there are no openings yet. I am to call tomorrow, the next day, etc. etc. etc. until a position opens up.

Now, surely, I should just start looking for another job. Yes, this would make sense and all, but it took me months of searching to land this one, which was a fluke in itself. Somehow, the first company I worked for got my resume and cover letter that I sent someplace else, called me up, and I had a job within a week. That was a fluke. If only a good, high-paying job could fluke my way, I’d be set.

Therefore, again, I am here at my house, poor and cold and bored, and explaining this situation to you. I am more than willing to just take a good clerical job–which I am more than qualified for, though have no previous job experience in.

So, here I am, frustrated and annoyed. I hope you can understand my utter frustration in this week-and-a-half long journey into the business world.

(These have been my first jobs, ever, so it has already started to jade me quite a bit.)
