Oh nah. I love my job and where I work. My manager is actually a really nice lady, she's just a little high-strung at times. :sweat:

This town sucks. There are no jobs available. I walked along the main drag today (the only businesses in the whole town), and over half of the stores had "for rent" or "closed" (permanently) on them. The other half weren't hiring. I filled out applications anyway for about eight places, a few of them which have high turnover rates, like fast food type places. I would love to get the night job at the gas station out on the edge of town because of the better pay, but I'm not getting too hopeful right now.

This whole "being an adult" thing is fucking terrible. Can I go back to college? Preferably for free?

Does your school not have some sort of career center where it's peoples' job to get grads employed so the school doesn't look bad? Normally they'd even try to get you something substantial. In your field no less. Y'know that thing you got the degree for. Those marketable skills you paid all the money to them to teach you.

All my school's career center basically did was to help you prepare a resume. Regrettably, that does me little good with no prior work experience. Beyond that and they don't do much, especially because my major (Spanish) isn't one of the fields that they're known for (engineering, teaching, criminal justice).

The only thing our career center does is organize a craeer fair, which is the envy of the state with how many people we get to come. They generally always get a bunch of seniors job [especially in my department], so I guess that's something. :D

My university has 2 campuses. One is where the liberal arts programs are and one is where the science/engineering/business programs are. The career center is located on the campus where it'll actually have something to do.

I can run for days without any problems, I'll just get up and go. Bottom line, I've never injured myself running.

But I attempt to show off one time during a "freestyle" on Dance Central and I pull a hip-flexor muscle! I'm an idiot though, since I still ran on it (because it didn't hurt much at the time) and I'm paying for it now :mad:

Spoiler :
The plus side; went to the store to get a 12 pack of Bud Light to find a sale, for two dollars more I got me a 30 pack! :awesome:

i want to start running a least 2 - 3 times a week (or more) but I have little to no motivation to actually get off my ass and go do it.

Don't worry, I'm no running nut or anything, it's just part of being in the Army. I just do more running to stay in enough shape to make sure the younger guys don't show me up :lol:

I want to take long walks every day, but I can only do them during the weekends and the work days leave me tired and unmotivated. :|

I know someone that used a combination of it, South Beach, and biking to lose ~80 lbs in less than 2 years.
