7625607My idiot brother called today and said I have $2000 in my bank account, and why hadn't I gone to the bank to find out how much I had. He started the call with "you idiot" but since I'd just gone and picked up his credit card from the lawn mower repair place where he forgot it, I called him an idiot and didn't feel too bad about it. I think dad must have put that money in my bank account from when I didn't use that plane ticket last year, and even though it was my own fault since I could have gone and didn't, I think he felt bad that he'd bought the ticket. Anyway, that's the only money I can think of that explains why I have so much more left than I thought. So there's enough to pay my July rent (I paid it quickly, as soon as I got off the phone, before I could spend it getting my car fixed or something and boom not have enough for rent again). Huge relief.
Yesterday I got an email saying like take this online personality test to apply for our job. And I've taken so many and not gotten a call back, that I no longer trust my ability to do multiple choice tests and guess what sort of answer the test is seeking (which I thought was some kind of goddamn gift by the time I graduated from high school), so last night I took my laptop over to his house and had him and the s-in-l help me with it. Today I got another email from the same company saying, like, "now click here to take a skills test." Which is annoying but ok. At least it's a response. Oh, but it's to work at an answering service (at least it's not trash?) and it would only pay like $12/hour. And no health insurance. And it's for a 2-10pm shift. But at least it would be full time. Sigh.
Why did everyone tell me that if I finished my degree it would be easier to get a job? I have yet to have a job that even required real critical thinking.
