patupaiarehe: Jesus would want you to (jesus)
Why will no one give me a job?

It's just ridiculous. I try and I try and I try and no one wants me, nothing comes back, nothing ever works out and it's so fucking DUMB! I am a fantastic worker: I'm dedicated and smart and willing to go the extra fucking mile if only someone would see that!

Some dick at the French cafe said he wouldn't give me a job because I didn't smile at him when I walked in. Would that be because a) it was bloody FREEZING outside and not something worth smiling about, b) I didn't realise he was the waiter, c) I was too busy running through what I was going to say in my head or d) ALL OF THE FUCKING ABOVE!

I think I apologised and told him the wind had frozen my face up, then shoved my CV into his hand anyway. NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER. Then I left and realised even if he was to call me (which I HIGHLY doubt), someone's fucking nicked off with my cellphone ANYWAY so I'm basically unreachable.

So sick of all this SHIT. And it's so cold and disgusting outside and I just want to stay in bed all day, preferably cuddled up to someone amenable  aka a fantasy because NO ONE'S interested in me like that either, so fuck.  

I just want things to go my way for once.

It's really not healthy for me to RAGE over my toast  in the morning, but sweet lord, I can't help it.

I HATE the bloody government fucking up our country! They just raised the GST from 12.5% to 15%, making life all that little bit more expensive. And why did they do this? So they could afford to give the big earners, the over $120,000 a year earners, a tax break.

FUCK YOU Mr Key! And Mr fucking English! You know why the rich pay more tax than the poor do? Because they can fucking afford to! 

I mean, they did their best to 'include' the poor people as well, right? People earning $10,000 a year get a whole $3.50 in tax cuts a week. How generous. Meanwhile John fucking Key, because he is a millionaire and also a WANKER, gets $350 back a week. Fucking convenient, yeah?

Preschool services are cut back. My university can't accept more enrollments this year because it can't afford to have more students. Our healthcare system grows slower and less efficient every day because of lack of funding, but that's ok, you understand, because at least the rich people in our country don't have to pay too much tax! Because of that, endless hospital waiting lists don't bother them - they can afford to go private! They don't have to worry about substandard preschools, kindergartens and schools - that's what private schools are for!

And the rest of us, the normal people, the vast majority of this country? Well, we're just fucking screwed.

Wait, what?

Got an email from the uni library this morning saying I had an overdue book. I was rather confused, given I'd got it out last night. I figured someone had just got their wires crossed and I could sort it out when I went up this afternoon to print some stuff out.

Cut to this afternoon. I go up to the librarian, who goes, "Oh, but of course it's overdue! It was only a two-hour loan! That'll be $18 in fines, please."

TWO HOUR LOAN WHAT. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS WHAT.

You know, if they'd mentioned that when I got it out, or if they'd said in the email that they were charging $2 per hour it went unreturned, I might be feeling a bit more reasonable about this. But... no. Fuck 'em.

I could've just about BOUGHT the damn thing for $18.

But yeah, I don't need to pay the fine until I graduate, so I'm not going to. Maybe after 3 more years I won't care about some dumb misunderstanding I had in first year, but at the moment, nuh uh.
