Rejection Reflection

So I applied to Officemax the beginning of summer and guess what? No call back… WTF. Now, now I know you might be asking “hey Michael, why’s a cool cat like you applying to Officemax? Aren’t you way too cool and awesome for that?” Well not to be cocky but I am. I was just way too lazy to apply for internships, look for a real job, or go abroad. I hoped for a simple summer back home where I could get with some real people and make some money. Instead, I came home to my old friends poor and desperate.

Now I write this with no obligations. I have no job, school, or responsibility now. I waste my time daily coming up with plans to use my summer constructively. So far I have these six.

1. Work out. I’ve always wanted to get all yoked and shit but I always get lazy. Earlier I promised myself I would play basketball more. Guess what happened? Played Resident Evil instead.

2. Read. I’ve re-read Fahrenheit 451 and the Grapes of Wrath. But, I would still like to read some more. Suggestions?

3. Cook. I want to learn how to cook something. Could be anything; bomb ass cookies, tasty spaghetti, whatevs.

4. Get my license. Yes, yes I do not have my license. I know, shameful. I’ve gotten by most of my life hitching rides or illegally driving with my dad. Now I need the real deal.

5. Play guitar. I used to play the guitar a lot sophomore year of high school. I’ve taken about a year and a half break from guitar but I’m starting to play again. Learning Jack Johnson now, what a baller.

6. Volunteer. I want to volunteer but the place I used to work at kinda got creepy (Salvation Army, long story short- boss makes out with her husband…eeewww). And I would like to start a program I would later restart after graduation (it will be revealed someday when it is ready).

So of course I’ll accomplish like two of these.

But onto the main story.Officemax…WTF. Seriously I got no call back? How unfair is that? I seriously know that it was because I was in college, they knew I was gonna quit after like 2 months. How lame. My resume was a beast, I’m serious. Like I said, I don’t mean to sound cocky but it was ballllllllin. I had all these references from these bad ass professors and deans but guess what? Didn’t get it…oh also, included that I was a Yale student. STUPID DECISION MICHAEL. I should have said I wasn’t,
pretty sure I would have gotten it.

Oh well, now I have time to rant about it. Looking for more jobs and ventures for money.

Officemax manager must be a Harvard man.
