Yogurt Covered Raisins

Hello. My name is Jehad Abbed.  While currently jobless, I spend the walks from class to my apartment trying to decide what to do with my free time in the afternoons.  Besides the whole walking part, my feet keep busy by dodging the thin layer of cigarette butts, broken glass, and puke that decorates the sidewalk.  My favorite part of that is the fact that I can point out a few different "splatters" and know which one of my friends each belongs to.  Either way, I am not trying to clean the side walks with the tread on my kicks.  I also think about new shoes that I feel like I need.  For a guy, I am pretty into what I have got to compliment the cuffs of my pants.  But, like I have said I am jobless.  I feel bad making too many $100+ purchases while I haven't added a single penny to my check account since the beginning of this semester.  Therefore, a lot of my free time is spent filling out job applications.  That and discussing Drake songs and mixtapes with my brother. Miss Me or Karaoke or 9AM in Dallas .  Karaoke is my favorite.  But, back to the job search.  I blame my failure to snag a job on my impatience.  Oddly enough I also have a lack of persistence.  I fill out the application and then I feel too content with my effort.  Ideally, I need to be annoying the hell out of employers to get some feedback.  That is not me.  My impatience comes into play when filling out any application online.  If the internet is running too slow for my liking, I end all progress on the application just as quickly as I started it.  I also have a problem with these 50+ assessment surveys included on the application.  After completing one of these, the site instantly told me that my answers did not match the required responses for the the position in which I was applying.  Honestly, the questions might as well have all been rephrased to ask, "are you going to be a dick to the customer or not?"  How could I have failed this? I am really not too worried about it at the time being.  I only want money to buy a new pair of shoes.

  1. "Ideally, I need to be annoying the hell out of employers to get some feedback." It's annoying as hell to annoy the hell out of employers, but it works.

    I like the shoes. And I like Karaoke, but Over is the better. It has the best beat out of all the songs I've heard by him.
