Bitch, bitch, bitch, rant, rant, rant

Helas minasan!

This message will be about me complaining. Hence the title of this post. I am not too happy because I am searching for a steady job, and I haven't been too successful with that. One reason is that out of all of positions that need to filled, a huge portion of these are babysitter positions. I don't mind that because I know that I can look after kids. However, this is what gets me: Good 70% of the people looking for babysitters are looking for people who have certificates in CPR, have taken babysitter courses, are majoring in Elementary Education or Nursing, and the list of qualifications goes on. Essentially, these parents are looking for people who would be better parents than they are. I mean, how many of those parents have CPR certificates (valid ones)? How many have majored in Elementary Education or Nursing? I just think that if you, as a parent, do not meet your own qualifications that you are looking for in a babysitter, you shouldn't be allowed to make such high demands and be grateful to have someone who is "only" trustworthy and kind.
I don't know. It just makes me upset...
Hopefully, I'll be able to find a job soon. Well, I do have all of Spring Break to look for one...even if it will end up just being over the summer.
And, as much as it breaks my heart, I won't be going to Anime Central because I don't have a job; Anime Central is during the first or second weekend of May; even if I got a job within the next week or two, I still have to pay for bills and food; and I don't feel comfortable asking my friends and parents to help me pay for it. I won't ask my friends because my friends have other more important things to spend their money on, and this is also true with my parents, but they already pay my rent, phone bill (most of which probably consists of taxes), gas, tuition, car insurance, etc. So, I'm not going to Anime Central, which is sad because that will probably be the only opportunity to see some of my very good friends. Okay, enough from me. I also would like to thank all of my friends who have offered to help me financially, so that I could go to Anime Central, but that won't be happening. At least not this year. Maybe, hopefully, next year.

Well, baibai people!

How about you take the money from a friend who can afford it!? By the way how much is it? And I am impressed by your writing talents. This comment should be published in the news paper!
Guess who!!?????
