:: Stress Factor : 7.5 ::

Okay shit.

I need alot of things done, and everything is weighing on my ability to get a job.

Let's list things down a little here. I'm keen on this job with SMP because they offer a good chance of me picking up on ad sales and marketing, they'll give me good creative input as a Staff Writer on one of their publications and also there's a chance I might be working on their nightlife publication so that should be relatively interesting.

So, everything is there in terms of take-away experience and a good job scope that I'd be good in and interested in, plus - looking at my portfolio I can safely say that I can offer them what they're looking for in terms of relevancy and lingual competency.

The only problem is ? Alot of people are telling me to expect pay as low as $1.2k

...and this is coming from me who wants to strut in on Thursday with a nicely laid out portfolio and ask for $1.8k - $2k.

Whoopdeedoo.

...and yes, in other areas as well I've been starting to really feel the pinch of late.

I mean, apart from being so fucking broke all the time, I'm going to have to

  • Plan for next year's 2nd quarter...thing *cough* don't worry not slipping* (+/- $2k ?? )
  • Get back in shape due to certain... health issues ($150 a month)
  • Prepare myself physically, charismatically and mentally for meeting Ade's mom (omfg stress) ( Phoenix Down + X-Potion )
  • Go for lessons and get my 2b and pay for a bike ( fn' cb dunno how much lah $3k ?)
  • Other misc. expenses along the way (like fucking end of year partying and an early planned celebration in February) ( SORROWWWWWW )
Oh fuck I knew listing them all out was a bad idea.

Well hello, my name is Sal and I'm fucked ! Very pleased to meet you !!!! :D



P.S.

I know alot of you still read my blog, so please use the tagboard. Honestly it's been awhile since i've heard from many of you, and i promise if you show me I didn't put that tagboard there for nothing, then I'll show you I can give you better things to read than song lyrics and sad one liners. Honest.
