*mopes* I have been unemployed for almost a year. I know there are people out there who are far worst than me which is very terrible. Instead of giving out rebates from the government they should hand out jobs instead. Or demand companies quit sending jobs overseas. Also I saw this thing on the news that an Immigrant law was in effect to send all the illegals back to where they belong. It is said it was backfiring. The companies regardless what they are wanted hire people like us but couldn't. Want to know WHY??? The wages suck, man. You need higher wages so you AFFORD to live. If it's not done properly how anyone going to afford housing, food, gas and so?? They'll be no "real" jobs, just mostly fast foods and Walmarts and any low wages jobs. There'll be no such thing as a higher pay job. >_< No one's hiring for a phlebotomist and the more I look at, I've wasted my time taking this class and got this -- no employment. No one in my class has turned in papers so we can take our National Phlebotomy Exam. I've turned it back on March 31st. The class was finished on March 20th!! I don't know what's the freaking hold up with these former classmates of mine. I thought they wanted, really wanted to be a phlebotomist? *so disappointed in them* I studied my ass off in that class.

I really wanted to go to my 20th high school reunion this July and I couldn't go because it costs money. It's stupid to go when you're not working. I haven't seen those people for 20 years and three people who I haven't seen for 18 years. I gradutated in 1988. I'm old.

Well, a bit of light news -- I'm volunteering at a public library for two hours a week, maybe more. At least I'm doing something productive and getting experience in the way. I've worked at a public library a little over two decades ago.

*sigh* The way I'm feeling, I don't know if I'll do an artwork for HakuBaikou's Rurouni Kenshin Fanart Contest. I got at least two sketches down but one of them doesn't seem to fit with the theme. It's a cute idea I had. I still have plenty of time to stew whether or not to do it. I really want to use a real neat paint program instead of doing the traditional way. Oh well.

Sorry for the long rant.
