Job hunt? F*** that

To Post or Not to Post…
It's been a while since I last posted. Was and sort of am beginning to doubt whether I'm even welcome to post or not…

I think I lost all credibility as a blogger on VuTales. I kind of know why, after all, the first day I made an account I tried to post some Maple fanfics and posted a bunch of stuff all at once and pissed off some people (like Max- he seemed really pissed). So I took the posts down, and since I tried to make one fanfic after another, going 1-5 chapters in at least before taking it down and starting another one. The reason why is because I didn't think anybody liked it and was pretty much trying to get attention and fighting think block at the same time; thus pumping out low quality stuff that was read by only a few people.

Some fanfics I took down but posted on Fanfiction.net. anyways, the most recent one, "Three Dumb Rogues" may also have died like the others and I'll explain why:
I had a creative spurt, and quickly opened up Wordpad, typed it up, copy-pasted it onto here, checked for grammer then posted it. Thanks to the people who read it, and Joaco, or JrRepty I think said in the comments that I should continue it, and I did. I made a new chapter, which was more of a background and character description than funny epic fail humor like the first one. I was trying to introduce the character so readers could see where he was coming from.

So I posted the chapter, and it was completely ignored. I felt kind of embarassed, and thought "ok, you people wanted me to continue it, I posted the second chapter, and now you're all ignoring it. Seriously, WTF"
So I deleted it out of embarassment, and thought "do they not want me to post here anymore?"

I like this site, a hell of alot more than Face Book. No apps, no spam, and its an awesome online community. Obviously I dont want to post fanfics that die out from think block, or are ignored, etc. And I don't want to piss off everyone by filling page space with something that is boring or makes no sense. I still want to make fanfics (not "long epically epics" as David put it lol), so what can / must I do to improve or do things better?

BTW people who have read and commented, THANK YOU, YOU'RE AWESOME!

But really, constructive criticism is appreciated, and needed. I'd rather post something good instead of ending up the bad fanfic troll. (Walls of text, lack of consistencies, I know, what else can I do to improve?)

Job Hunt

I'm supposed to be job hunting, but i'm so suck of the crapfest job hunt I've pretty much been staying at home unless going to buy food, ride my bike, or *shudders* look for a job. I went to see a job counselor yesterday and she referred me to these other 2 people who said they'd help me find a job in the mean time and subsidize my wage so as to increase the odds of getting a job.
I'm planning to go back to school in January; taking a geography course and an English course that focuses on creative writing.

School

I have my doubts on school…what I really feel about it is this: Vocational training programs, yes; good thing. Academic stuff like degrees in, say, liberal arts, or social science, or some other academic [insert subject here] that was mixed together and printed on stupidly expensive textbooks which are published, then 'out dated' by publishers who deserve to be shot. And its knowledge that people won't for the most part remember. Students pay for the credential- some stupid piece of paper or data saying 'I have a "degree". And what pisses me off about that is that fucking employers demand that applicants have a 'degree' in the job posted. If its something really specific I could maybe understand.
Otherwise, train the new employees!

If "tuition" wasnt so expensive (really, education has become a massive fiat industry, as well as human resource companies that are making it big at the expense of job seekers), I wouldn;t be bitching about this so much.

Maybe I'm pissed because I want that 'credential' so i can get a decent job…and it feels like in doing so I'm really just wasting my time and getting nowhere…
Fuck it.

Yesterday I was on my way home, when the bus I was on went by 2 high schools, Charles Best & Centennial. So the bus was ridiculously packed that when it came to my stop, i couldn't even get off the damn thing and ended up going all the way to Lougheed Mall (end of route). iFail because i forgot it was 3pm and sat in the back and dozed off.

Got my new warlock to level 58 in 2 weeks
I've been playing Wow a lot in the last 2 weeks. I made a new Horde warlock and now its level 58. I already have a warlock but I transferred it to the Alliance server where my friends were all playing the day before they all quit. And on the horde server was my useless rogue. And I wanted something that could do good dps and retain mana, so I made another warlock.

I like warlocks a lot better because its easier to cast, and on my 80 'lock I can flamebroil the shit out of almost anything, it's GREAT!
A few weeks ago on my Alli lock I was flying around Nagrand when a Horde priest showed up and tried to attack me. I threw up Shadow Ward (shield against shadow damage) and absorbed this priest shadow spells, and cast all my curses and flame attacks, and she died. She came back and tried to hide behind some mobs (this was at Halaa and the Horde controlled it.) So i landed on the deck and she was just within range, and I flamebroiled her again, and jumped off to escape the mobs and landed in the lake below lol.

A &W food is LACED
I SWEAR the A&W food I ate last night was laced with something; no joke! I had a spicy mama burger with fries, and by the time I got home I was so drowsy I flopped down on my bed and just wanted to sleep…despite that my pulse was racing. I was like that for 3 hours wtf. Im not eating A&W again anytime soon.

peace

I will be honest. I am just not into fan fics anymore. when i was actually playing maple and other net things, it piqued my interest but now its just something i enjoy. I do give you props for writing though.

Not all degrees are worthless or just a title.

Last year when I was out of a job, I applied to FIFTEEN places, not one call back. I started to think it was a conspiracy.
