You're getting paid to apply for jobs, with the advent of e-mail this is an activity that usually takes all of 5 minutes. With your credentials you'll probably get called in for 2-3 interviews out of the 10 places you applied to. It's kind of hard to feel sorry for you in this position.

If you're that concerned about a full-time job eating up all your writing time, just throw the interview. At least you'll still be getting paid.

Or apply for jobs you 100% know you couldn't possibly get ha.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

OP reminds me of those Occupy idiots, crying because they decided to do what they felt like instead of being responsible and are now paying the price for it.

'Oh no, I have to actually go out and apply for work to be a productive member of society instead of relaxing, writing, and creating meaningful relationships with people!'


If I recall correctly, 70% of the Occupy movement was employed full-time in the height of the movement. You clearly have no idea what Occupy is really about.


Have any sources for those numbers? Sorry, I guess I was mistaken when I saw all of the art school and liberal arts kids whining because they're up to their eyes in debt, crying that someone else should pay it for them because they chose worthless majors and that those who worked hard for their money and took courses that mattered should foot the bill for their incompetence.

I lived there from Dec. '06 to Jun 08. I think by the time I got there things were bad, like you mentioned. Case in point, we move there and leave our things there without unpacking and without putting any curtains up (Stupid). We come back 3 days later and the front door was kicked open and they ransacked the place. Days later, we lose the family cat. So, I don't have pleasant memories of Victorville, except staying up late and playing Halo 2 online. Yeah, it's beautiful but the wind can get bad too.

Also, once we got an alarm system they tried to break in again while we were away from the house. Cops never caught them though. They didn't even try to get fingerprints.


One of the many reasons we have guns now.

I've been keeping my shotgun under my bed this last week because someone came to our door the other night, in plain clothes, asking to come in to upgrade our Direct TV. When I heard about it, red flags went up, and lets just say I have not been storing my shotgun by California DOJ recommendations. It's unlocked, under my bed, with two rounds of 00 buck in the magazine ready to go if I need it.


The High Desert has become a cess pool. We have among the highest unemployment in the state. With unemployment comes crime. People commit crime because they get desperate.

I am ready to use my shotgun, but I really hope I don't even need to pull it out from under my bed, unless I am unloading it and putting it away.

I don't doubt the unemployment but my house was burglarized (or attempted) both times while I was away. A gun wouldn't help. I think an alarm system works good enough in that area. Which reminds me, I heard they were going to remodel an airport there to boost employment or something. Did they actually do that?
