desperately seeking employment....

The end of the school year is often marked by the stark reality that faces me afterwards - work and $$$. Around this time, my funds are usually depleted. Any monies (scholarships, grants, loans, bursaries) received during the academic calendar have somehow evaporated. So I am left with very few options: working for THE MAN (manifest in various forms); sucking it up and begging the mother for cash (if I can get hold of her); hitting up Hollywood brother for a loan (we're not THAT close); continue to do absolutely nothing (hoping that H, THE g/f, doesn't freak out on me). All choices seem viable, yet some more unrealistic than others. My infrequent dealings with THE MAN this year has resulted in the following: the possibility of returning to the same summertime bank job I have held the previous two years, beginning in mid-May (when they start to get busy in my particular department); being been offered a position as a "recruitment officer" for an energy company yesterday (I just KNOW that this will suck major ass); working for a friend who serves a function within the construction industry (manual labour! YIKES!); waiting on one of the few "preferred" jobs that I have actually bothered applying for. As well, the Uni has also begun to post relatively shit paying positions for summer students, so I guess that this becomes another option. I already filled out the corresponding paperwork for the energy company, and the recruiter expects me in for training on Monday morning and subsequently, out on the field on Tuesday. The salary + commission structure seems to be much too good to be true so the entire thing smells like cack!
I'll probably be making a plethora of phone calls today as well as keeping an eye on workopolis, just in case something primo comes up. ARGHHHHHH! Decisions, decisions. Days like this make me even more nostalgic for the simplicity of youth. A time when the credo "Damn the man" resonated loud and true!
