Interview in 5 hours, so why can't i sleep?

89% Normal
54 Comments

I have been struggling to find a job and I am getting to the point of frustration. Finally after what seems like a few weeks of searching, I found an interview as a valet driver and I cannot sleep right now. The interview is in six hours and I am really tired yet I cannot sleep.

My finace is being very supportive with me and the whole job search but we are surviving on a one-job household and she is expecting. My family is telling me to go on disability but I don't want too out of shame of being like my mom.

Is this normal? I am not nervous at all and I don't see what the problem is mentally, so what is it?

      Wow, a comment that isn't horrible, thank you.

      Yeah, it sucks and right now writing at the bookstore is rather taxing but I am not giving up. I am allowed to go back to school and I have unemployment starting up in a few weeks, I know the hard times are ending shortly.

      Thank you though, it is nice to see one of your group is being "human". It really means a lot to me.

    I don't know why I'm even responding to this thread, but I'm sorry your having a hard time finding a job, and good luck to you and your family. It's honorable that you don't want to be like your mom and collect disability and actually want to work. I don't knw why everyone hates you, are you a jerk on other posts? but whatever let it go. Please don't yell at me lol... I didn't read everything bc quite frankly it was exhausting all the back and forth. To answer the original question you prob couldn't sleep bc u were nervous and anxious. BYW there is NOTHING wrong with working fast food, I am educated have a great job and do very well for myself, however if I lost my job I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work at a fast food restaurant to support my child until I could find a better job.

    youre wasting a lot of your life arguing with strangers. did the original question even get answered here?
    (Btw, please don't argue with me, that's not what i'm looking for, I just think maybe you should just ignore these ridiculous and mean comments instead of writing back something equally ridiculous which will just waste your time.)

      Yeah I see your point. I was the original poster and although I have deleted a few of the more awful insults back, not one person helped worth a damn on this one. However, this story is long since old and I no longer have this problem anymore.

    You didn't get hired because you're a fucking weirdo.

    Oftly isn't a word, and to whinny is to neigh. You make no sense. Ever. You got "the" and "for" correct, though. Good job, Buddy.

    Not sure why I bother typing posts in response to you. You're an enormous vag and delete the majority of them.

        These people are mopping the floor with you, Bud my friend. The impression I get is of a special ed kid being teased into impotent, raging tears by a circle of roaring, howling, mocking boys on a playground.
        And, I'm sorry to tell you that YOU YOURSELF handed them the ammunition that's currently chopping you into pieces. In future, don't give people so many logical angles to diss you from. It is truly pathetic to watch a guy try to counter truth-based abuse with emotional sputterings. Just sayin', "bud"...

          I've often felt a little bad about the things I've said to Bud because he obviously isn't a "normal" human being since half the garbage that spews from his brain is completely irrelevant or doesn't even make sense. However, he always manages to assuage my feelings of guilt by making another asinine comment. To Bud, all women are whores, all Mexicans are lazy and worthless, all Iranians are deserving of our hatred, and anyone who disagrees with him is a father-fucking, burger-flipping welfare recipient. It's just one more day in the life of Budthenotsowise. Lashing out incoherently at anyone who questions his delusions of grandeur. Sad really. But...not TOO sad.

            Are you still commenting on my stories? For fucks sake, find a hobby or get a dog, whatever just fuck off though.

            So I am racist against Iranians now? I wrote one comment letting the person know why some others might be annoyed with that culture and now apparently I hate that culture too apparently, right? I do not hate or are even annoyed by that culture but it isn't like a stupid girl such as yourself will ever admit or even accept being wrong on that comment though.

            No, not all women are whores or sluts. I have a great rappore with several women in "real life" but on this site being nice and helpful is often...

            Fuck it, writing only gets you fuckers to badmout more. Sorry, this money is done flinging poo at the cage to ammuse the children at the zoo.

          I know, I have long since cared or thought of this site as a decent one. Sometimes it is fun just to bitch toward garbage people online than deal with the fuckheads in real life. It isn't like they know who I am, I don't roam the welfare lines or 'daddies bedroom after dark' like they do.

    I checked out your photos on photobucket, and they prove nothing. The knife could be any knife, the child could be anyones, and doesnt prove that he is autistic, and the brain scan could be anyones. Even in the photo of you that you say proves that you were fat, the t-shirt is 10 sizes too big for you, and proves nothing. The only thing you can prove is that you have been to Vietnam, and if thats all you can prove in 30 years, WHOOP_DEE_DOO!!!

      You're an idiot. I could go further but I have shown a great deal more proof of anything then you have. It is a moot point as you have said over and over how you keep this shit up just for your own enjoyment and nothing more.

      In the end though, at least I am honest and not out to piss on others. I used to be, but my life is too damn important to waste it on your self-centered ass.

    Says Bud who has time to chill in a bookstore...Get to work, ya bum. Be a man. Stop making Bethany support the both of you. God, you're weak, stupid, and a waste of space. I feel so sorry for Bethany. That she is SO desperate to have to settle for a freak like you is woefully depressing.

    P.S., Bud, I assure you, you aren't trying any harder than I am. Why don't you stop crying about how hard you try and actually, oh, I dunno...TRY?! I'm pretty sure McDonald's or some other fast food joint could use a guy JUST LIKE YOU :) You're the future, Bud.

      I wrote on this already and I find it odd how it disappeared. To keep it short, I spend at least two hours a day looking for work. I, unlike you two, am not a failure and bust my ass to do better. Right now, I am finishing up my application at Fred Meyers while I am typing to you.

      I should get my internet back in a few days though so I will personally have a great time tearing you both new asshole. However I will be doing your skank of a girlfriend a favor doing so though as she wore her old one out whoring.

        Considering how unsuccessful you obviously are, why don't you try harder Bud? Looking for a job should be a full-time job for you. Two hours a day is not very much of an effort for someone as desperate for a job as you are. It sucks that your interview didn't work out, but harassing strangers online is not going to get you a job.

              Way to go moron. I mean seriously, take something that I admitted to, are trying extremely hard to fix, aren't proud of and bash the hell out of it. You are just as sad and retarded as the rest of them.

              Thank you so much for wasting space and the air other, more intelligent people could use more.

          I am, but I am also human. I have been arguing far less and she is happy that I am being myself. If you think I am going to let an entitled little shit or her scummy boyfriend talk crap toward me and get away with it, think again. However I am not going to spend much time bitching back as I used to like when I was talking toward you.

          Plus, your not a bitch or a skank or whatever I called you before, I am just saddened that you would side with them when you are capible of so much more. Have a nice life.

    I thought I was as succinct as possible in my above post. No one cares about your MS, your autistic kid, or anything else you put online. I can only assume that your responses now will be typical Bud bs...yunno, responding multiple times to your own replies.

    Sorry, no, I'm not man enough to stand up to anyone. I'm female. Regardless, your statement didn't make any sense. Why would I hide behind anyone? (What a weirdo!)

      Crap, I posted the start of this and reread your comment so I had to edit it and now it is labeled toward myself and not to that NonNormal crossdresser or whatever the hell he/she thinks he/she is today.

      Then why are you back again to bitch about it? Not only do you and your girlfriend/skank/whatever care but you are trying so damn hard to bother me. The sad question is, how am I so damn important and worth all of this attention?

      Is it because you can't live life sober and have to hide behind drugs and alcohol? Is college too hard or reality to sad for you? Are you depressed that when you wake up, you see that Tyger-whatshername sleeping next to you and you want to cry when you look at her nose? Seriously, what is it? Why do you give a shit how I write or for fucks sake, if you are so damn cool, why even be on this site?

      Also, about your sex
      Your writing style and profile shows that you are most likely a typical adolescent male. Even if you were a female, you are still a personal junkie friend of that Tyger skank and you both take some time once in a while, together, to bitch mostly at me on this site.

      The sad thing is that even knowing I don't want to fight, it really isn't that hard to argue with the both of you, I guess drinking and smoking have made you both even more retarded.

      It's okay and you gave good advice so thank you. Last night though, I couldn't sleep and I would only turn back on my computer when I got tired of staring at the ceiling for an hour or two. After an hour online I would try again to get some sleep and would fail again.

      It was like this until I just gave up and spent the last hour enjoying the game FEAR. It turned out well though, I believe I am hired as this was the best interview I ever had and I don't regret how I went through it.

      Afterwards, I went to sleep but I only got three hours as my fiance accidently woke me up, now I am awake but it is okay.

      Lastly, it takes a really dumb and childish person to spend a great deal of time laughing at those who have it harder than themselves. Hell, even I haven't sunk that low yet. A real judge of character you are, good for you.

    Bud, you act like you've got anything worth backing up. You're nothing. No one needs you to back up the absence of anything worthwhile.

    Your stickshift insults were so lame up there, Bud. You're like an angry child with some of the shit you say. So pathetic.

    tyger, you're quite accurate - He's ravaged by jealousy, anger, envy. He is a failure. He will never be successful. He will never be anything, nor will he ever have anything. He's "engaged" to a mentally challenged bovine and they're expecting a child that will only be a burden because they're unprepared for life. He sees your life and wishes he had a similar existence. I'd feel sorry for him if he didn't behave like a complete fiend.

      Way to defend your girlfriend. I guess shit loves company. Take the time though and prove your point before talking out of your ass as well or are you not man enough to stand up to your girlfriend and have to hide behind her.

      Sure, back to me though, I don't fight as much and I really calmed down here based upon what my fiance asked of me. However, after a week or two I am still writing here even knowing I doubt she will again.
