Antiwork

I’m getting really tired of people telling me that so many companies are urgently hiring, meanwhile for almost three months now I’ve been out of work, applied to so many jobs I can’t even remember, and I haven’t heard so much as a peep aside from being told my application was declined.

I abruptly lost my job months ago due to some absolute bullshit. I want to be cross but I was taken advantage of there and being mistreated due to my boss's stubborness and ego, so I'm glad I'm out. But going from $$$ to nothing has taken such a big toll on me that I wasn't ready for. I can no longer even afford to feed myself anything other than instant noodles. I can't dip into my savings, I can't help out with bills anymore, and I'm tired of being marked a freeloader when I'm doing everything I possibly fucking can. I've applied to every open position possible, on Indeed, LinkedIn, ziprecruiter, even contacting employers directly, even ones where I know Jack shit about what I'll be doing until I get there because they say they're urgently hiring anybody no experience needed. A lot of jobs I can't apply to…

I've applied to every open position possible, on Indeed, LinkedIn, ziprecruiter, even contacting employers directly, even ones where I know Jack shit about what I'll be doing until I get there because they say they're urgently hiring anybody no experience needed. A lot of jobs I can't apply to because I don't have a car and I get that, but cars cost money. And money costs a job. And Jobs cost a car, and if I don't have a car to get to the job I need money for what else can possibly be expected of me. I'm even begging my friends to recommend me to their employers. I can't stand sitting around anymore. For once in my life I WANT to fucking work and I get denied the opportunity again and again and again. Full time, part time, seasonal, fucking whatever it doesn't matter. I either don't meet the incredibly specific qualifications or I'm just ignored altogether after I get the notification that my application is read.

I want to visit my significant other in the states, but I can't even scrape together a measley $160 to pay the passport application fee because every last dime I make at this point goes to keeping me sane. I'm lucky I live in Canada because my health problems would have probably been my downfall.
