There are lots of jobs that can and will accommodate you but...

They're tough to find and people don't want to hire someone hearing, "Oh, I'll need all of these things."

I mean, they want you to be up-front about it, but it can be a little daunting to have you making impositions of them at the top of the interview when you're supposed to be courting them.

Most service jobs, if you're shooting for something entry-level, will ask right on the application when you're available to work. And if they don't like what's on the application, they won't call you back, and you'll never know if it was that or anything else you put down that turned them off.

Anyway.

Found out yesterday that a) I am not eligible for underemployment benefits for reasons I will be investigating tomorrow and b) my roommate is under the impression that I'm still pining for her, under the impression that I waited up until she came home at 2:00 AM on the fourteenth just to wish her a Happy Valentine's Day.

Also, if you have normal class schedule, most service jobs will be OK for you, but only if you plan on never having free time ever. If you can work nights and weekends you can pretty much get hired anywhere in the service industry.

Not an entirety unreasonable assumption.

Also the combination of military, going to school, and wanting to work during is pretty positive for an entry-level position compared to a lot of candidates.

Yyyyeah, that's just a litany of creepy things to do. Don't do those things.

I parsed that as "she thought that's what he was doing instead of it just working out that way."

Joxam · « **Reply #1927 on:** February 17, 2011, 05:45:41 AM »

Yeah, he's saying he was still up, probably yakking in finalfight, and she thought he was up for her. LOLOLOL bitches be crazy up in herr

I had taken a nap that afternoon before work, so I was up playing Castlevania or something I don't even remember because I wasn't sleepy enough to go to bed yet. She stumbled home high as a goddamned kite, we talked for like half an hour, and I happened to say "Happy Valentine's Day" before I went to bed.

Considering her reaction I kind of want to make things as awkward as possible for the next five weeks before I vanish without a trace, but meh.

Just strut around nude with a ribbon and bow.

So. the rear windscreen was broken out of my car last night. The only good thing is they didn't take anything, because my back window is only about 8-10 inches tall. Sadface. Who fucks with another mans car?! FUCK YOU. God damn I'm pissed. I didn't pay all the money I did for that car so some douche bag could come along and just fuck with it. ARGRARGAGAGARGARGRGARGARRRGRGGARGRGG Damn it. SO MAD.

After struggling with this shitty Blackberry for well over a year, I'm now getting messages that my SIM card is rejected and my phone doesn't work.

I think it's time to go see if I'm due an upgrade or new phone. Hopefully for not too much.

I learned something today. When my chest hurts, I get really clumsy. To the point I drop things. Things like, say, plates.
I'm working a ten hour shift today. I've dropped almost one thing per table. Only one thing of food so far but rush just started so who knows how long that'll last.

Friends I've had for years who've been mutual friends for the same amount of time are at each other's throats, making snarky comments, and cancelling D&D games and events.

I feel like a large part of my social life is collapsing around me.

Classic · « **Reply #1937 on:** February 19, 2011, 10:12:53 AM »

I had that happen once. The only nice part about it was that we were teenagers and as I grew a little older I realized there was some crazy shit going on that the best solution was to just avoid.

Problem SOLVED.

Of course, I was still in school and there was a pretty broad pool of new people to be friends with for years after that. If something like that happened now I think it'd be a serious downer.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1938 on:** February 19, 2011, 11:29:46 AM »

It's been well over a decade since I had more than a half-dozen or so friends. And most of them only know each other through me.

So uh, I'M SAFE, I GUESS.

Lottel · « **Reply #1939 on:** February 19, 2011, 11:56:42 AM »

Work night ended with me stumbling to my car and collapsing literally at its door.

Yay me.
