WHAT HAPPENS TO STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN 2011









But first a photograph of Mila Kunis, Laura Prepon & Jessica Simpson. Second, allow me to talk about my current existence. When I woke up on January 1, 2011, I didn't say, "Hey, I'm going to be unemployed starting March 1, 2011." Ending up unemployed since March 1, 2011 was an unexpected situation that I wasn't expecting. The fact that I'm still unemployed wasn't part of the grand design either. However, I'm back on the unemployment line despite my efforts to stay away from it. It's hard to stay employed beyond Christmas for reasons that I never understood. I don't consider my behavior to be scary only on Christmas Day. It's just something that happens on it's own. Anyway, I'm filling out two job application forms a day. With luck, I'll be employed again. Hey, hope springs eternal. Optimism is the best way to cope with unemployment.

LIFE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO














First, some photographs of Elisha Cuthbert and Mila Kunis. Second, allow me to talk about myself. This is what's been happening so far. I've been a resident of Cleveland, Ohio for the past twenty-five months. I wish I were employed for all twenty-five of those months. I've only been employed for fourteen out of twenty-five months. The rest of the time has been spent filling out job application forms. I'm getting better filling out job application forms. The amount of time I spent unemployed is about to get larger than the amount of time I spent employed if I don't get hired anytime soon. I'm still earning money from the Department of Jobs and Family Services. Otherwise, I'd be screwed. Nothing much is going on in my life beyond that. It's rough to be unemployed during a recession, but I'll survive.

THE CONTINUED ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK

I'm feeling better today. I'm still uncertain about if I'm still employed at KFC. I'm filling out two job application forms a day to be on the safe side. It's a rough economy. The recession hasn't ended despite Washington D.C. bragging otherwise. I still feel the grip of the recession in how difficult it is to find employment. It used to be that finding a job only took two weeks. Now it's six weeks if I'm lucky and seven months if I'm unlucky. I know that corruption on Wall Street and possibly the mortgage meltdown crises contributed to the recession. Yet, Republicans clain that degregulating Wall Street and corporations hinder economic recovery. On what planet was that possible? Wasn't deregulation of Wall Street and corporations the ailment that caused the recession in the first place.
I'm sorry for the mood I'm in. Job hunting without results can be rough sometimes. Yet, I will survive. I'm hoping that the recession truly ends for real someday. I'm not sure how long anybody could tolerate the recession's damage to the minimum wage employment sector much longer.

AND RAIN SHALL FALL FROM THE SKY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

I don't understand why the Cleveland Public Library keeps insisting on making it impossible for me to log onto www.Livejournal.com every so often. I'm only going to be frustrated and write what I'm going to say on this blog instead.
The last two weeks has been interesting. I'm still trying to figure it out. Am I still employed or did the opportunity vanish before I showed up? Let's start with the begining. I'm still unemployed. I thought I was going to be employed by Kentucky Fried Chicken. I attended the orientation and everything. I was told to show up for work a full week later on Friday. Then I was told to show up for work April 2, 2011. I showed up for work on April 2, 2011. Work lasted somewhere around three hours. I was told to call April 3, 2011 around six o'clock at night for my work schedule this week. I called at Sunday at 6:00 P.M. and was told to ask again later this week. I'm filling out two job application forms again because I'm assuming the worst. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if I were still employed at Kentucky Fried Chicken. My job hunt would've reached an end. Still, it would be a good idea to prepare for the worst just in case. Anyway, I wish the recession would end. Trying to find employment is rough when there's a recession going on.

TODAY IS THE SECOND DAY OF MY THIRD YEAR OF RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

It took a while for me to log onto www.google.com. That's the part I don't understand. An e-mail is needed to log onto www.google.com, but gmail isn't needed. Any other sort of e-mail could be used instead of gmail. Such a thing is never possible with any other competing version of www.google.com. I never understood why, but I won't lose sleep over it. I'm more interested in getting my college tuition loans repayed. I'm still trying to be as debt free as possible.
