Today, I have put in many job applications and had many interviews for a variety of positions all of which I am highly qualified for. Today, I heard back from all but one that I am overqualified. Welcome to Walmart. FML

Today, I found out that the reason I didn't get the job that I have been working my butt off for over a year for is because they can't find anybody who can do my current job as good as me. I'm too good to be promoted. FML

Overqualified

Today, at the one job interview I got after months of applying, I was rejected for what turned out to be a phone customer service role, because I "wasn't technical enough." Previously I worked as a website developer and I have a computer science degree. FML

Disillusioned

Today, it's six months until I graduate and I don't have a single skill that can get me placed in any company, but worst part is that I don't even want to work to acquire any skill. I'm fucking useless. FML

Time to pick a field to specialize in

Many jobs don't require specific knowledge. They train you for the task. You can be a barista, waiter, janitor, delivery boy, stock boy, field hand, ditch digger, etc.

This my friend is why you pick a specialty that: (1) You have some interest in and talents for. (2) Results in decent employment opportunities. There is an ultimate point to an education - To prepare you for life and a career, not for the entertainment value of the process. If you don’t pay attention to where you are going you won’t get where you want to go.

You've got exactly what it takes to be a spy. Or a handyman. Depends of your tolerance to stress.

Today, I let my 4-month old puppy sleep with me. She’s been constipated for a while. I woke up to a foul odor in the middle of the night. Turns out she took a massive dump on the bed right by my head. I had to completely strip my bed to go back to sleep. FML
