Just got a potential job offer to write about wrestling for a website of a dude who used to write for a major promotion. (Not WWE - so it could be one of two franchises - hint, hint....)
My portfolio is expanding by leaps and bounds. I'm drunk as **** and on my BlackBerry, but I'm the most retarded amount of excited I've been in eons. I may yet earn enough fliff to train with Lance Storm in Calgary, AB. This is a momentous evening.

I'm from Northern California. I grew up in the East Bay Area (Berkeley, Oakland, Pinole, Richmond). I went to college in Davis, near Sacramento, and lived in that general area for 3 or 4 years and from there moved up to Oregon just this last November in search of better prospects than California was showing me. Moving back to the Bay Area wasn't really an option (expensive as hell). Staying where I was could have been an option, but moving to Oregon seemed like a better dead: same amount if not more opportunities, cheaper cost of living, no sales tax, higher minimum wage than I was getting paid after 2 years at my job. So I figure: come up here, find any job I can, and at minimum wage in a cheaper, sales tax free environment I'd be saving money. Except I've been up here for like six months and haven't gotten anywhere. Yet. I haven't exhausted all my resources, but it's going a lot worse than I had thought it would. I really don't want to shave my beard and cut my hair (3 years growth) on the chance that I might increase my odds of finding work, but I'm weighing it over every day just about. I mean, if I shave up, I can get a job at McDonald's (whoo-hoo), the bottom of the food chain, but I'm in a hippy town - Eugene - and I really shouldn't need to do that to find work. I need to exhaust all the coffee shops, all the local hippy kind of places before I go corporate and clean-cut. I just love my beard so much I wouldn't want to kill it and then get a job where I wouldn't have needed to cut it in the first place. But desperation is creeping. |

Yeah. Cutting my hair will be a very desperate act if the job I want is something I REALLY want. Mine is shoulder link just about. But I can make it look pretty damn good for work if I needed to. I have 4 tattoos as well. One on my knuckles, and 3 on my arms. Really, it shouldn't matter. The place i'm looking at actually seemed interested in the tattoos, they thought they were cool.

No offense if you like the place but it looks like a ****ty business rooted in unneeded goods. Peoples financial situations are bound to only get worse and a store like that will be the first to close its doors when no one comes time to buy their bedazzled picture frame for that picture of their dog.
I think its good you are not working there.
