Right now I'm tempted to look at why my 3DS has a little blue light in the top right corner... I'm too lazy to pick it up though... X(

Fuck!

The funny bone has to be the epic-est fail of the human body.



I'm kind of leaning towards WP at the moment. Anyone have Windows Phone? Is it good?



My hockey team just played in a tournament. Lost in the semi-finals. We played like shit and lost 6-1.



In response to my "do single girls exist" thread, i pose a new question "do actual entry-level professional jobs exist?"

Everyone, even at the so-called "entry-level" wants at least 2 years of experience.

Moving next week! So excited but at the same time, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed considering we are signing the lease on Monday and all our shit has to be out of this apartment and it has to be cleaned by Friday!

Good luck!



 

Booya! My PS3 just saved my grade. My professor posted a documentary online that we need to watch in order to complete an assignment. The thing is you have to be on campus in order to stream it from his link. I live at home and there is no way in hell I was going to school (especially on my day off) to watch this.

The only other option was an m4v download link that was incompatible with my laptop. I was freaking out looking for the documentary elsewhere online when the thought occurred to me that I could try in on my PS3 and it worked!

Now I can watch it in the comfort of home in crisp HD.

:( Looking online for jobs is the quickest way for me to depress myself, and i inevitably end up wallowing in it and looking up unemployment horror stories

I wonder if i just accept the fact that i will never be able to find work, what will be done? It would be an interesting experiment, simply because you are absolutely not allowed to default on student loans, but if i have zero income, or just barely enough income to scrape by, what can they do?

Edit: ah, i see. They accommodate for that by withholding your tax returns. But even then, if i were making pissant income, even the withheld money would simply sit forever.

Doesn't that classify you as a...uh...lazy bum?

Not in the slightest. I did get quite horribly depressed last night, however, and when you're depressed you think of absolute bottom-barrel worst-case scenarios. There are options available to me, however, simply because my student debt isn't that crippling (if I got on a 20-year repayment plan, i'd have payments around $150 a month, high estimate), so I would be able to aim lower for jobs as far as being able to live goes.

My grades are excellent and i have a reasonably diverse skill-set for general work in the information sector (not IT, information, like in research or analysis or stuff). The problem is i have only 3 months of professional experience (and most places won't give you the time of day until you get up to 2 or 3 years), and no particular *special* skills. The other problem, of course, is you shouldn't even bother applying to places where you're overqualified, because you're unlikely to get it (they think you'll leave first chance you get, which is true, unlike someone who gets their burger-flipping job and really has nowhere to go for a while or ever), and secondly because that establishes a salary history that is likely much lower than what you would want.

To a degree, you have to be picky, or else you screw yourself over in the long-run.
