I have two possible job opportunities. I have an interview tomorrow with one company about 15 minutes from my house. They are a small motorcycle parts and accessories shop that needs some help putting together their website. I would be their full time webmaster.
The other job is the one I really want. I could walk to work everyday because the office is run out of someone's house that is in the same neighborhood I live in. I would be editing pre-existing websites, templates, etc. The pay would be better and the fact that I wouldn't have to drive would save me money on gas and keep the miles down on my old car that needs a bit of work.
I would be happy with either job because both sound decent and are related to my field of study. I'm sick of working at JCP. It was a mistake to start working there. They are giving me 10 hours a week now. I can barely pay any bills on that salary. It's not even worth the gas to drive there. I'm hoping that the $20 of gas I put in my car today will last me a few days.
I've been worried a lot lately because of all my money issues. Hopefully one of these jobs will give me a better opportunity.
I really hate school. I seriously hate everything about this place. They give us a million requirements for everything, but don't give us the necessary resources to execute what we need to do. They expect us to shell out money like it's nothing, when most of us can't get a full time job because we are here 4 fucking days a week because they can't schedule classes to be on the same day. They firewall everything, and won't install mySQL on the computers here, so we are required to buy hosting space with php installed, then we can't even use dreamweaver to connect to our databases because ftp connections are blocked. So i have no clue if my database is working right or not for my finals tomorrow. UGH! They scheduled the graduation ceremony tonight, when the quarter isn't even fucking over. So if you are graduating and have class tonight you get screwed (which is actually happening to one of my friends). And whoever designed the rooms in this school didn't think about electrical outlets, because if there is 2 outlets in a room you are lucky. I'm currently in the library and my laptop is going to die any minute now, and I can't plug it in because there are only 2 outlets in this whole place and they are being used. Everything about this place is so retarded. I can't wait to get the hell out of here!
It's finals week and I'm almost done with everything. I have absolutely no desire to finish anything though. I want this quarter to be over in the worst way. I've been really depressed and almost in a daze since Friday after portfolio review. I have no real reason to feel this way and it's bothering me that I am. I cried during my portfolio review for no reason. In fact, it was probably my best one yet. My advisor said "I had come out of my shell". If I were on American Idol, he'd be Simon, the toughest critic, only Simon is actually a nice guy off camera (so I hear) and this guy is constantly a douche. But he gave me a compliment, and the feedback I got from the other "judges" wasn't bad. But I cried...for no reason...other than maybe I was just happy that it went as well as it did. But the rest of the day, i was incredibly unhappy, and haven't been motivated to do anything since. All I really have left to do is print my presentation things and finish my dynamic web class stuff. I just don't want to do it at all. I haven't really felt like doing anything but sleeping, which I haven't done well in awhile. I snapped out of it a little bit Saturday night cause Dave, Reddy, Sarah, and I went to the Roller Derby, but after awhile I just wanted to go home. I don't know what is wrong with me, but i need to snap out. I think after this week I'll feel much better.
Oh, and Pearl Jam is Thursday...
So, I didn't get the management position, but I'm ok with that. Hopefully, after graduation I'll find a better job doing something more related to my major. It would have been nice to have been given the position, but I at this time it doesn't really matter to me.
They're having a manager from another studio cover until they figure out who they are going to promote. My DM told me that they need another month at least to figure out the studio and get things in semi order. My old boss really screwed up, considering we've only been open for 3 months! It just makes it even more obvious that she didn't care about anything.
I have a lot of homework and preparation to do for the end of this quarter. I have a portfolio review next week, and I want to make sure that I have everything I've been working on this quarter ready to show for it. I'm almost done with everything, but my senior project is really killing me. I don't see the need to make a powerpoint presentation and a graphic design piece for my 20 page paper that I spent 11 weeks writing. Ugh, let me write the 20 page paper and be done with it!
