    We all know that Australian's are all Frenchies in hiding anyway. Or do people actually believe that Oceania is a real thing?

    Oceania is real. We have our own region on League of Legends, and League of Legends is the first E-Sport so they're right.

    I already know this, but thanks for the advice anyway. We've been going to the stores themselves and I've been asking about job applications and just been getting told to do it online. There have been very rare instances that I've actually gotten a paper application, but I do like getting them since when I turn them in I feel like someone is actually getting them. My parents have been trying to help as well, but so far I haven't gotten any sort of notice from anyone. I didn't expect to, but it does irritate me that my sister already has some interviews. So far I've applied to about 5 places, but I've got applications for a lot of others that i need to fill out. And I also found out that you never do a request at Walmart, because it took me more then an hour just to do the preliminary questions since the computer itself was crap, the mouse ball wasn't working, and 1 of the questions threw me and my parents through a loop (made me laugh my ribs off too)

    This also, I'd of never gotten my current job if I didn't know people who worked there. See if anyone you know (friends, family members, etc) can lend you a hand.

    Unfortunately, this implies you know reliable people.

    Oh not at all, the person I got my job through quit a year later and our friendship fell apart a few months after.

    However, I did get a job out of it all.

    Makes you hate everything and assume the worst of people. You deal with people who think they're entitled to everything because they're the customer and they're right even when they could not be more wrong. They will pick up an item, decide they don't want it, and decide they're too lazy to put it back. I mean, even if you tell me at the checkout, 'Oh, I don't want this. Could you put it back for me?' is better than taking a bag of candy, decide you don't want it, and then dump it in a bunker freezer or something. Someone did this with a bag of frozen fish but instead of a different freezer, they hid it on an unrefrigerated shelf.

    I could rant for hours but I won't.

    It also implies if I know anyone where I'm applying. I've been in Richmond for 3 days or so, so I don't know anyone. And right now there's not much chance to go out anywhere with my parents focusing on the house that we're moving into on Thursday.

    Speaking of which, anyone here live somewhere near Houston? Want to visit? I'm bored XD. Doing surveys for the past 48 hours is tiring. So far this is my list:

    Applied:
    Home Depot
    Sprouts
    Khols
    Palladium
    Best Buy
    Gamestop
    Party City
    Pier 1 Import

    Apply To:
    Family Dollar
    Ross
    Famous Footwear
    Walmart
    Target
    Walgreens
    Mistcooling (need resume)
    Hobby Lobby
    Kroger
    Verizon
    AT&T
    T-Mobile
    Office Depot
    Toys R Us
    Macy's
    T. J. Maxx

    And that's just the retail.......
