I insist on showing up, and asking when the next interviews will be held.

They invariably tell me to apply online.

I never hear from them again.

If this were not so, I could get a job leveraging my intermediate knowledge of computers, networking, and IT, probably as an apprentice/intern (are those still a thing?) under a professional engineer...earning a halfway decent wage that allows me to pay for school without taking on inordinate amounts of debt.

Instead, I'm working at an arguably nice restauraunt, with weird hours (invariably <=60hrs/fortnight), earning just above minimum wage. (A lot of the food is ultimately imported. Result: very little room for labour/wages, despite the average cost of a meal there--something like $100+)

The only reason I haven't gone fully insane: My coworkers are nice, while they're speaking Engrish. (I'm quite certain they insult me in Korean)


The Obama recovery in action, folks! Millenials will end up being hit hardest in the long run.

Segmentation fault

I'm not sure how to respond to that. Also, I've never had arugula before. (Or kale, for that matter)

I was thinking 2007, when the Democrat controlled Congress replaced the GOP controlled congress.

All the GOP candidates need to call the unemployment figures smoke and fakery. It’s going to be used against them when they’re President, so you might as well destroy it now.

It represents garbage and will go up as soon as they remove the Democrat’s impediment to job growth as people reenter the job market. It’s a simpleminded headline, though and the MSM will use it.

Don’t wait. It needs to be done right now because it will be used to poison the recovery brought on by the next president. Count back in the people utterly discouraged from looking for a job.
