I’m getting kicked out of my apartment. For not being Christian.

Let us rewind to this morning. Well, early afternoon. Because I went to bed late and was forced out of bed by my landlord. I was on the phone with the real landlord, and he wanted to talk to me about Jesus, and the bible. He wanted to invite me to church. He offered to let me borrow his bike on the condition that I look for work daily, and that I spend 15 minutes per day reading the bible. I refused. Why? I do not want to be converted to Christianity. I was raised Catholic, went to a Catholic school, a Christian high school, then after that, I went my own way. And I am not turning back from that. The only reason I would ever step foot into a church is if it is with my own family. Or if it’s with my friends from high school. Other than that, no. I will not be dragged into Christianity again.

Early this evening, I was told by my landlord that if I don’t get a job this week, or if I don’t change my heart, I am going to be kicked out. Fine. Whatever. I already have a plan B. It was my plan A before I had an interview with Burger King on Thursday. I am still waiting to hear from them, but I am working fast on this plan. At this point, I don’t care if BK doesn’t hire me. I want out of this place.

Now, before you say anything like “you can sue him” or whatever…No, I can’t. There is no binding contract or agreement. They are not legally obliged to let anyone stay here. I’ve been working off my rent during the past couple months, but that doesn’t mean anything. So, no.

There’s only one thing I have to say to them, and it’s right at this youtube link below:

still haven’t found a job. my plans to go out this week were pretty much scrapped because my roommate accidentally took one of my shoes with him to wisconson. as a result, we both have mismatched shoes until monday. he is letting me borrow his sandals, but those aren’t exactly kosher for job interviews. xD

i tried to apply to sears yesterday, but their online application system broke during the tax questionnaire part. i’m going to try it again today, and if it fails, i’m going to go there in person. i’ve also formed a list of places where i could submit applications – based on search results from careerbuilder and craigslist. thirteen places. and two from craigslist which i’ve e-mailed stating interest. i hope i get a job soon, because after november, i will not be able to pay any of my bills. (at least, rent and utilities).

on other news, i received payment from dollarclickorsignup. it wasn’t much ($1.05), but that was because i cashed out at the bare minimum. and i registered two days before cashout day. it showed me that these sites work. i have something to do on the side that will earn me a little bit of cash. and right now, i can use that little bit of cash.

also, i’ve found a theme that will most likely stick. i like this one.

nope. target didn’t hire me. fuckers.

this past week, i got a call from primerica financial services, inviting me to an interview. apparently they saw my resume on caljobs, and liked the fact i was a good cash register monkey or something. after research, i found that they were very bad people. so i didn’t go to the interview.

i’m continuing to submit applications to places. i should actually keep track of this shit. let’s see…hot topic, see’s candies, campus shell, safeway, rite aid, um…i forget where else. it’ll come to me. it’s the holiday season, so i need to get my name out there as much as possible. i kinda need a job, considering, i’m not getting unemployment benefits. luckily i have enough in my reserves to survive the next couple of months. assuming nothing tragic pops up.

in the meantime, i’m doing a little something to make money on the side. my sister’s blog pointed me to another blog of hers, regarding “get-paid-to” (gpt, for short) sites. all one has to do is check their e-mails, or fill out surveys, and they get a little bit of money. it’s not much, definitely not enough to live on, but it is a little extra cash to spend on lunch. i’ll find this quite useful to be able to buy food without dipping into my bank account so much. you can see a list of GPT sites i use on the right.

as for job hunting? i’m going to fill out a few online apps over the weekend ( cvs, staples, savemart… ). on monday, i’m going to go out and submit offline applications (sweet factory, gamestop, fry’s…).

unemployment and stuff

Filed Under: Life
Sep.02, 2009

from the looks of it, my unemployment benefits will be $189/wk. that is enough for me to pay my share of the rent and utilities, and my other bills. hell, i’d hardly have to touch the money i already /have/. so, guess what, it gives me a chance to save money.

this past tuesday, i had a job interview at target. i’ll hear from them in 5-7 days, whether or not they’re willing to hire me. in the meantime, i’ve got plenty of applications to fill out and submit.

on other news, some of you may notice i keep changing the theme on this site. i just can’t find one that will satisfy me, so i am going to make one myself when i have the time.

i needs me a new joerb!

so, now i am unemployed. why? i punched a register at work, breaking the screen on it, and well…they decided that the only course of action they could take is to fire me. why did i punch the register? i was pissed. dealing with all those asshats that friday night, then i get a buncha ghetto people coming in being douchebags…ok, so that’s no excuse. nothing justifies punching the screen on the register. maybe if it made itself known as a communist threat to society, and it began to pitch its red agenda…but that didn’t happen. no, i got pissed off, and like a dumbass, i hit the screen. hard. with my fist.

as far as finances go? i’m good for at least a month. i’ve filed a claim with unemployment. and right now, i’m planning on going job hunting. i know, my attempts will be in vain as far as getting a job in california. perhaps i should use this money to move elsewhere? but what of my roommates? i’ve already screwed up by losing a job, but leaving them with a two bedroom apartment, that soon, will have to be covered by /one/ person? i don’t like that outcome at all.

tomorrow, i shall begin my jobhunting efforts. i can probably start today, by doing online apps. first thing i need is a haircut.
