x0xmarix0x: Sorry, I wasn't clear. If I took a job with only a few hours then I would only get like half of what I get on unemployment.. and I have to keep food on the table :)


So on Monday, someone robbed a bank in my home town. We're a small little town so it was interesting to see the sheriff's deptartments there from 3 different towns. They cancelled the blood drive too, because they didn't want the robber to try and hide out there. Which sucks :( So much blood was NOT donated because of this douchebag.

But I might know who did it. This guy was wearing a distinctive snowmobile jacket and I heard of someone who might have that. Plus, it would make sense for this kid to do it and stuff. So I told my grampa who is a Sheriff's Deputy and he let the investigators know. So now we just sit and wait :)

I am soooooo pissed about my unemployment. My job totally LEFT ME. They closed that location down and the nearest location is almost an hour away. So when I filed for unemployment, I let them know that. Now my company is saying that I quit so NYS is holding my benefits during investigation. lsadjhslkajdlsakdjsd. So many people abuse this system and I just need it for a few weeks. So pissed.

But I had an interview today at this place that is a residental home for children with behavioral problems. It sounds like a good job, its just you sometimes have to take abuse from the kids. They will use verbal abuse against you and will hit, kick, scratch or pull hair. The guy I interviewed with says this doesn't happen everyday but it DOES happen.

He told me to talk to Mike about it and sleep on it. If I still want to work there, I'm supposed to call him tomorrow. I think he is offering me the job, conditionally.. as long as I pass my drug test, background check and reference check. So I think I'm gonna take it :)

OMG, I was so pissed about unemployment yesterday that I started drinking when I got home lol. I was doing stuff online and poor Mike asked me like one question about psychology. I sat there and I talked to him about so much shit haha. I started discussing parts of the brain and how they affect psychological disorders. Lol, he just sat there and listened to it all but its still pretty funny.

Well, I'm gonna get going. I want to get some homework done before I have to pick Mike up from group. :)

Ugh, I'm a little sick to my stomach. This 6 year old from my area died over the weekend. They don't think any foul play was involved but its just so sad. Thats my brothers age :(

So I'm still upset about not being able to find a job. I mean, I've had job offers but they for under 20 hours a week and they are nothing IMPORTANT. I want a job where I actually make a difference. I want to be a Victim's Advocate and work with the DA's office, probation department when they do PSI's and victims. I was trying to see if I could get a job at a hotline the other day, but thats hard to do.

So Saturday night when Mike was working, someone came to pick up their car and they were all pissed off. They came with their friend and their friend starting getting in Mike's face, so Mike called the police to chill them out. Well, somehow the cops knew who the guy was and asked Mike to press charges (cause the guy did push him).. because the narcotics team wanted to impound the car because he was a known drug dealer and they wanted to search it. Haha, that totally cracked me up.

And that same night, someone climbed over the fence to the lot and moved their car. They couldn't get their car out without ramming the gate and I guess the car was brand new.. so they just moved their car. LOL, people are so stupid. Mike's boss is going to run their video tapes and have the guy arrested cause thats trespassing.

Well, I'm donating blood with my mom today. I am sooo terrifed of needles its not funny. I will cry if I have to get blood work done or a shot. For some reason, I'm a little better if I'm donating blood. I think its because I'm O+ so almost anyone can use my blood.. so I know I'm saving 3 lives every time I go. I'm always a nervous wreck though :(

I'm getting hungry so I think I'm gonna go make some breakfast. Then I'm probably just gonna do homework and possibly clean until I go give blood. Wish me luck :)

I'm so bored. I need a job, lol. I so want to DO SOMETHING on Kiwi but I think that not so many people come on here anymore. I wanted to do a Zine or contest or something (lol if you know me, you know I'm constantly doing things like this) to do with my time. I'm trying to become an advisor again but no one will respond to me if I can get my job back. :(

I totally googled my s/n yesterday and pulled up SO MUCH STUFF. A lot of people have my tags and stuff in their profiles or journals, so that pulled up. Plus, when I had the Kiwi Personals, I was interviewed and stuff so that showed up there.

I didn't sleep too great again last night. I woke up about 7 am and decided to do homework because I was so bored lol. Then Mike woke up with an abcess tooth so now we have to get him antibiotics. He looks like a Who though, lol.

And he might work tonight, which sucks. He works for a towing company out in Rochester. His boss owns all these popular bars that people will park illegally at (either to walk to the court house or the Blue Cross Arena), and then they tow the cars. Well, theres a big event or something at the Blue Cross so he'll probably work tonight.

Oh, and I won a contest on here lol. It was the one where I THINK its James Patterson's book. I've only won like one other contest the whole time I've been here. And back then, you actually had to DO stuff to win. Now you just click a button and you're entered. Oh well, I got a new book :)

*Update..
So yeah, Susan finally sent me a k/n back. I guess they just hired new people and they don't want to give my position back because I was inactive previously. Go figure. I'm probably one of the people that have been on here the longest but ok. Yeah, I was inactive on the whole site for awhile.. but I did have a lot going on then.

And this seriously couldn't come at a worse time. I've been really trying to look for a job lately.. and I applied to this place that helps take care of the mentally disabled, which I actually have experience in. And they just sent me a "no, thank you" letter. Plus, I've been trying at ADT and they keep saying they want someone more experienced. I KNOW that both places hire people with NO experience what so ever. I actually have a lot of experience in a lot. I don't know, it would just be nice to be wanted on even just kiwi, ya know?

:(

math500 : I was so surprised to see you respond! How is Gracie doing? :) Hm, I didn't know Kraft was hiring. Even if I don't apply there, if Mike's job doesn't work out, he can always try there. And hey, where are you guys living now? (I'm sure I could sneak a look at your facebook and find out but I'm lazy lol).
x0xmarix0x : I think I already subbied to your journal but yell at me if I didn't! And thats cool that we both have Mike's :)


Ughhhh. It's raining and it's so gross outside.
I'm already sick of this nasty weather. They were totally talking about snow yesterday.

I had these CRAZY dreams last night. I kept waking up throughout the whole morning because of them. Mike got up about 7am to go to work and then I went back to bed.. slept til like 11 but I was dreaming the whole time. So I'm still exhauted :( The dreams were so weird though. There were like 3 of my ex-boyfriends in them.

I'm donating blood on Monday and I actually convinced my mom to do it too haha. It'll be her first time. But we're both O+, so anyone can take our blood.. so its always in a need. I haven't donated in awhile, and I've been really wanting to do it.

Well, my day is gonna be spent cleaning and doing homework. I haven't really been home the past few days and my house is a wreck.. thats what happens with 4 cats and a 130 pound dog, lol. Oh, and a 200 pound man ;)

r/r/r/s and I will too :)

Hi :)

I'm STILL trying to get used to the new Kiwi. I really wish we were able to switch it back. I remember last year, people were trying to switch it back, but obviously they didn't get anywhere.

And I'm trying to get my Advisor job back. I really like being an advisor.. but last year, I remember not a lot of people were asking for advice and we weren't getting points.. so I stopped doing it for awhile then got too wrapped up in my own life. And now I don't have my job anymore :( I k/ned Susan, but she hasn't responded.

Oh, so I got a funny story. Saturday night, Mike ws trying to get the cat back into the house. Long story short, the door ended up shutting and he tried to stop it.. and his hand went through the glass pane. He had cut his wrist wide open and was bleeding EVERYWHERE. lol, the first thing I grabbed was maxi-pads and he went through like 3 of them because we left the house for the hospital.

And then I get pulled over because I didn't make a complete stop lol. I'm just like "sir, I need to get him to the hospital" and the trooper let us go. Which he was gushing blood, so I really wasn't surprised. So he ended up with 11 stiches. Good times.

I was telling my mom about the story and she kept saying "well, you were drinking that night, you shouldn't have been driving!". Ok, granted I was drinking at our friends house. I believe I had one and half drinks.. throughout like 4 hours. And I drove home that night. And there was like almsot an hour lapse in between there and driving to the hospital. She just kept telling me I should have called someone else to drive or the ambulance or something. Seriously, I wouldn't have driven if I couldn't. But I had ONE AND A HALF, if that. And thank god I wasn't drunk, Mike wanted to just super glue his wound shut haha. Good thing one of us was functional.

So I got my first unemployment check today. I got two job offers.. but they aren't worth it. Both jobs are less than 20 hours a week and end up being over $100 less than what I bring home on unemployment. I feel kind of bad about it, but I have to think about what brings in more money. Trust me, if I find a job that actually pays something, I'd be more than happy to work.
