well, after hyping myself up for it, looks like the grocery store is a bust, or at least the one I wanted to work at. Maybe I’ll apply for others, but I’m feeling let down by the whole thing. I wanted to walk into a job, literally, that’s a thing that used to happen.
First, they require people apply online…. what’s the point being a job of last resort if you require as much work as actual good jobs (and I mean work to get, not work on the job). Then they also only had one opening, for overnight. I’m not doing overnight, it’s the one thing I can’t do.
so I thought I’d apply for the city, but the application defeated me, I only have so much patience for these things. I can do a 3-5 page app, but if you start asking for personal references or more than that, I’m sorry, you aren’t grad school, you don’t get me caring that much.
So I pitched a few social work applications out, including to the job that I failed out of because after that difficult interview, nothing really compares.
Nobody in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful
everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
also, I don’t want to live in this world anymore, I don’t want to live in this world

Sorry it didn’t work out for you. I guess it’s just a reality of “late-stage capitalism” that employers always have options, even at the bottom end of the labour market. Where once they had to compete with more skilled blue-collar industries (manufacturing etc), now they can afford to be a bit more picky – hence a more extensive application process. Their only competition for employees now is other service-sector jobs,
Glad you avoided overnight shifts though – it seems there’s few things more likely to fuck up your health.
