no good, no good



I've had some pretty ridiculous luck these days. Particularly with jobs. We all know how my last job ended: me getting yelled at irrationally and then doing a whole lot of crying and writing some very honest letters to people with power. No good, no good. Then I had the interview from hell where hardly anyone was wearing shoes. And someone was wearing sweatpants. That was also no good. Then the internship that I was pining over finally, after dragging me along for well over a month, finally decided to tell me that couldn't pay me, but could consider it in the fal. No good, either.

So now I have accepted a job at a boutique as a salesperson and marketer (as was mentioned in the interview). Cool, huh? Granted, its not agency experience, but I love clothes so it seemed like a decent fit. Today was my first day and the day went okay, but I came home feeling like a dark cloud was looming over me. Then I read an email my boss sent everyone, with a July schedule attached: Please welcome Olivia as a full time employee at the mall location and (insert name here) who will be part time and help with marketing and public relations. If you read that like I did, you see that she didn't associate my name with the whole marketing thing.

What is going on here? Seriously, this is insane. So now a job that I thought would maybe give me a small amount of experience is looking like any other job. Ugh. I am so exhausted by all of this run-around. I just want a nice job at a nice agency where I can work hard and learn a lot... I didn't know that would be too much to ask for.

I would honestly stick with it though. You never know, you may be working with that person and learn a lot. Maybe there is a possibility for advancement as well. Plus, it's better than working in the food court and being yelled at by mean people, right?
