WHY WON'T ANYONE HIRE ME!!!!

Hey everyone, I need to blow off some steam at the moment. I've been home for about a month now and have been vigorously looking for work. I've been getting all the leads I can, and going to places that say "We're hiring" and even those that aren't. I must have applied to 20+ places and NO ONE WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE! My first choice would be our local family video, who had a big sign saying "we're hiring, apply within." I applied there twice and nope. I went up and down our main street that's covered in businesses, with only some giving me applications. I applied to everywhere that people gave me a lead. I applied most everywhere that had a sign that said hiring. I've been at this for about a month. Only today did one of the first places I applied to give me a call back. And they said "oh sorry, we aren't taking temps." I also went to this job fair today at Meijer and that seemed promising, then during the interview "oh we aren't hiring temp college students." I got the call when I was driving home from Meijer. I yelled and said some choice words in the car.

OK, I know it's a tough job market, but my anger really comes when people say they're hiring and then I don't get any word on if I'm hired or not. Then there's all these places that say they're hiring but they aren't. I cleaned myself up so that I look presentable, wore a long sleeve nice shirt, either combed my hair or wore my nice new fedora, and some other things. I got interviewed at the IHOP, and if they don't hire me that I will understand. I kind of botched the interview.

Now here's my back-up plan; if I can't find a job, and even if I do, eBay business. Buy stuff at garage sales or elsewhere and then sell on eBay for a profit. I got some inventory, and at a good deal, one of which is a new in box star trek phaser. I got it for $17, listed for $35, and that's a deal since most of the time those go for $40-45. I got 3 watchers but no bids. Why won't those geeks place bids? Ugggggg. I want to work. Why won't anyone get me? I'm an eagle scout, anyone would vouch for me. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Well this has been Pokematic signing off and bu-bye.

8 Movies in 2 days

Hey everyone. You know that rush you get when you find a coupon that expires today so you run out to the store to use it? Well I don't blame you. It's hard on the frugal and can leave you with a situation that's less than pleasant. Well yesterday was the last day to use the "free rentals for A's" at Family Video. Well being the good student I am, I got 5 free rentals, and my brother had 2 free rentals from his report card. For those of you who are bad at math, that's 7 rentals. And for those of you who are paying attention, that's one less than the title. The missing movie comes from watching one at the Movie Theater. Tuesdays are free popcorn days and I wrote this on a Tuesday.

Ponyo
Social Network

theaters
Cars 2

Based on the linked titles for DVD you might be able to guess which ones were good and which were bad. For those lame-o's who don't follow me since I signed up for Amazon associates, I don't link to bad things, only good.

Jeff Dunham was funny as usual. It was edgier than spark of insanity. I prefer spark but both are incredibly funny.

Green Hornet was incredibly funny. I was not expecting it to be so funny. It's a super hero movie but the writing was so awful, it was hilarious.

True Grit sucked. It was to slow and hard to follow. It could have been so better, but no.

Inception was good but incredibly weird. If you don't pay attention, you will be lost.

Wonder Woman was amazing. It was not only a great action DC super hero movie, but also a commentary on sexism and such.

Ponyo was Miazaki. He's awesome and Disney did a great job with the dub. The only thing you can ever complain about with the Disney dub is that they use voice actors from their cartoons and you will sit there for half the movie wondering "where have I heard that voice before?"

The social network was the worst movie ever. I have no idea how it got an Oscar. I couldn't finish it because it was so boring and went absolutely no where.

Cars 2 was great. I loved the first one and this was way more. It involved so many more characters, and this time it focused on Mater instead of Lightning McQueen. But the 3d wasn't necessary. Some scenes looked good and pixar tried there best, but go see it in 2d and you won't miss anything.

Full reviews coming soon.
I wanted to return the DVDs at midnight, but wasn't and returned at about 10:30.
