Rev. Mitcz’s FOF #3

Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m bad at doing these every week. Hell, it’s Saturday. Still.. I’ve been busy. Finding a job, finding work, working for nothing, sellin’ my cheap-ass like a design whore to anyone who will take me. Here’s what’s pissing me off this week:

Flipdog.com and their fuckin’ horrid way of letting you apply for jobs. They just transfer you to the company’s site. Which usually means e-mail. Therefore, it means writing a new fuckin’ e-mail to every company you’re applying to. Sure, I cut and paste a semi-generic format, but it’s still annoying. Worse yet, they also seem to just rehash the same fucking job offers over and over again. I’m applying to the same companies I applied to 3 months ago. What’s the fucking deal, here? On another bad note, my resume includes link to my adult-related work, so it gets caught by internal company e-mail filters and blocked out. As if that wasn’t bad enough - sometimes the user who’s taking in all these damned resumes (and of course, there’s no way of them filtering this horseshit out, or displaying it in a logical format, or searching through it like a job posting site — it’s just e-mail subject lines) has their inbox so full that my e-mails get bounced out because their inbox can’t take anymore mail. Fuck all that shit.

Monster.com taking me through too fucking many steps just to apply to a company. I don’t have that kind of time - no one ever responds to my shit anyway.

All the companies who aren’t hiring me

My girlfriend. Granted, I’m the fault of our problems, but she’s the loud external voice of the same inner-voice that I use to motivate myself by tearing me apart. I thought those who loved you were to say “you’re crazy. you’re not a worthless sack of shit. you’ll find work” - not sit there and agree with you about it.

Me. I’m very angry at me. I’m not passing the buck off to all of these things, as I know my fate is my own. I try, fuck… I try. But it’s just not enough, and the things above aren’t making it any fucking easier for me
