Homecomings and Jobhuntings

Well, it has been a while.  I suppose I would apologize to my readers, but it seems that I only ever get three page views per day, and the're all from Russia.  It's like they're spying on me.  I'm totally not paranoid, by the way.

So quite a bit has happened in the last week-ish since I've posted here.  I finished all of my finals, packed up, bid farewell to my roommate, and set off on the car ride home for the summer.  It's always nice having some time off, but my mother seems very insistant that I get a job this summer.  I guess she has a point, what with me only having one job in my entire life.  And that job hardly counts as a job -- it only lasted for one month.  I worked at an awful call center where I administered phone surveys dealing with customer satisfaction with certain companies (and I actually can't talk about it due to confidentiality statement stuff they made me sign).  Worst job ever (although shoveling crap might top it).  I got fed up with people chewing me out for calling at inconvenient times, working long hours with no breaks, and the horrible management of the call center.  In the end, I feared that I would end up losing my sanity or my soul for working there, so I gave up quickly.  Of course, I was also the first of a stream of my high school friends that basically became the work force of the call center over that summer, so I was suddenly on the outside... until all of them started quitting too.  Only one of my friends stayed there for longer than that summer.  He worked there until the center shut down (without telling him, so he still went to work the next morning) Christmas after last.

Anyway, that was quite the tangent.  I was talking about getting a job this summer.  I'm all for it, but the actual application process is what I don't look forward to.  I hate talking to people, even if it's just to ask them for an application.  Plus getting a job interferes with my plans to be lazy and relax all summer.  Then again, I did rack up two hundred hours playing Pokemon last summer.  That's something that any twenty-year-old would be pretty ashamed to say, but since I remain unknown to the world, I'm fine with saying it.

Anyway, I'll try to keep updating regularly.
