Real jobs, please.

I would like any job. However, I have discovered I probably shouldn't work more than 10-15 hours a week during school and jobs don't typically want to hire someone who doesn't work a lot. I want my weekly total hours of "work" (job plus school) to be 35 hours. Any more than that, and I crack, but probably only because school requires thinking. If I were to only work, I could probably work a shit load more if I really had to. However, since I am apparently bettering myself and investing in my future with college, I am not available for work very often. Okay jobs are really hard to find in the first place, but once they see that O.O She can't work more than three days a week?!!?! It's all over.

May 21 - Warehouse, Stewarding and Concessions Supervisors Needed - (Louisiana Superdome/New Orleans Arena) food/beverage/hospitality

What you can't see in the seemingly friendly and open titles to these job postings is that everyone wants experience, and it's all they want! Nothing else can replace it. Not the fact that I went to the best high school in the state, not the fact that I always had a GPA of at least 3.2, not my immaculate grammar, nothing! So, everyone wish me luck. I was an extra on Treme recently, but that was the finale so they won't be calling me again.

Lost Phone (2x)

I have no phone! Why don't I have a phone? Because someone stole it from the UNO gym last week. Then, I left my phone on top of my car and a guy walked up and snatched it.
well emily that sux
Thanks! I am aware of that! This guy was staring at me while I was sitting in the parking lot at MK's apartments. He was standing very close to my car, and he took my phone! :(

Good job, pop music!

Wow! I am kind of impressed by this year's pop music. So many songs have a scifi premise. In other news, my mother is sharing our house with several of her Jazz Fest friends, and it is really starting to feel like Hey Arnold. I kind of like it. Anything to distract my mom and I from each other. I need to move out soon. Man, I used to think it was just either the fact that I was a teenager or that maybe it really was my hormones, but I'm pretty much grown up now, and I am at times genuinely ashamed of her. Wow, what a great mother's day post, huh? In other other news, I cleared a good amount of stuff off my computer and Flash seems no better.

My Craigslist Ads

So recently, I've been putting up ads on Craigslist. Up until now, I'd just been using it to apply for jobs, but then I remembered that I am more than capable of babysitting, petsitting, and housesitting. Those are all things I can do for money!
However, I don't have any references. I claimed to have "experience with all ages", but that's kind of a lie too. I've babysat ages 3-12, but no babies yet. I also don't have any brothers, sisters, or dependent baby cousins, and my mom has never had a close friend with a baby around us. Therefore,  there never has been a way for me to get this elusive "experience". Lucky for me, my first callback was a woman from Houma (daaayummm that's far) who didn't even ask for them! Wish me luck guys!
