It's nice to not have my time wasted.People always whine about that when I give the evasive "We're always accepting applications" answer. "Well I don't want to waste my time!" You're unemployed -- your time is literally worthless at this point.

"Accepting applications" usually just means they want to have a bunch of applications on file in case someone gets fired or quits suddenly. Most chain stores have one standardized application that is accepted at all stores -- grab one, go to Kinko's and scan it into PDF. Download FoxIt PDF Reader/Editor, type out your responses, then print out ten copies and submit them to every location of the store you're applying to. Any large company will probably already have a PDF on their website so you may be able to skip Kinko's.
None of the schlubs that apply for these jobs have the sense or the know-how to type up an application -- I've worked in a place that saw 100 apps per month and I've seen maybe 1 of them typed. Having applications typed and saved to your hard drive means you can submit to 20 times as many places as frequently as you would like and your applications look 100 times better than anyone else's (provided there's no typos). The only downside is it might take you an hour or two to learn FoxIt PDF Editor.
How long do you have before you have to move back home?
One of my business professors said most businesses are so paranoid about being sued by former employees for libel, that generally if another business calls and asks about your employment there, they'll only give out the dates you were employed and not go into any specifics. I dunno if that's true or not, but that's what I've been told.

Working in travel is always one of the things I look for :pimp As long as you don't have to fly.
I don't have money for a Masters now Tiesto, plus it wouldnt help me at all if I did it in History.
How old is your GF?
Jesus christ I'm fucked
:(
Now I feel bad for telling you not to worry and there's plenty of other waiter jobs out there.
EmCee what are your qualifications/ skills? Can you do accounting? Code HTML, simple PHP? What uni did you graduate from?
IIRC Kosma has graduated in history (:lol) that's why he has some problems in getting a job. I think if you have graduated in math/ comp. sci. then you should be fine in hunting down a job.
Personally I am keeping my fingers crossed cause you are a good person. One of the very few Wii fans I tolerate.

I think one place I stopped by today is hiring for sure. I'm in arkansas, and the guy who gave me the application said that he was helping but was from another store. In Branson, Missouri.
I know the Olive Garden in Norman, Oklahoma is hiring if that helps!
Oh sorry to ignore this. I'm just a simple man, a proletariat person if you will.

Do you have any skills, like, at all? Or at least any hobbies that can be parlayed into real-life work?
Learn a trade skill or something, and build from that.
Just join the Army. Afghanistan 2010: The Adventure Continues
Plus, after serving in the armed forces, not only will your soul be broken and shattered with years of horrible memories, the Army may or may not throw in a free prosthetic limb when a roadside bomb blows up your entire unit!
Not on vet benefits. Not in this economy.

Don't forget a shattered and broken soul that will prevent you from forging any meaningful and lasting relationships,
I think you should enlist today. You will be terrific cannon fodder.
I probably still could have fucked her that night but my ex-girlfriend kept calling me every 5 minutes making things awkward for me. The gimp cutey made an effort to find me and tell me she was leaving. If I don't end up reconcilling with my ex I'm sure it'll be easy to find this girl on campus. I just have to look for the brunette with the limp.
you don't have any relatives/friends that will take you in EmCee? Have you really tried everyone?
Free higher education is a pretty amazing deal in the United States. It's nothing to scoff at.

Just another illustration of how fucked up the US educational system is. I didn't pay a thing for my education, and taxpayers are (much) richer for it.
I met a girl at a party recently where there were a bunch of dance majors so I asked her if she was a dancer. She gave me a really dirty look and told me she was a communications major. Then I looked down and saw that her left foot was a prosthetic. Whoops!

You should have said "Dirty looks get in the way of communications, baby!" And then done some killer dance move requiring BOTH legs.
Good thing you're married already, you're a cruel man :-*

Isnt there anyone at the old company that still likes you? Some shift manager or something?
wouldn't you have been considered non-rehireable if you had just quit instead of being fired? Curious because I might be facing a similar situation in the not too distant future.
