Well crap. I had a list of 6 employers I wanted to call today, but I could only make 2 calls. And those were to an answering machine, so I hope they call back. One company specifically stated on their employment page "do not call us" so that was out. Two companies don't list phone numbers for HR, or state to contact them via email. One of those positions doesn't close til the 31st, so they probably haven't started processing yet, thus I'm not too worried about that one. #4 had a number listed, which I called, and discovered it was an automated system. I don't think talking to a machine will do me a whole lot of good.
So it's only 1pm and um...well, back to the internet I guess. *sigh*

To those of you who use Craigslist...
Have you ever tried answering an ad that was out of your area? I've been pointed to the site a few times, but I don't know how effective it would be since I live about 1,000 miles from anyplace I'm looking at. I know people have had success with it in their immediate area, but how about otherwise?
I think I just need to pick up and move someplace.

and ok, so dad ran into someone I graduated high school with a few days ago. Supposedly she asked how I was, which I find hard to believe since she never spoke to me then. Normally I could care less about who my dad runs into, but I'm kind of afraid of what he told her. I worked really hard to try and prove that I wasn't a loser to everyone that taunted me or talked about me behind my back (which was like 3/4 of my class). That speech I gave at graduation was in a way, a big "F you all, look who's the successful one". And I don't need people back to thinking I'm a loser. I don't think it would matter so much if I didn't live here.
