Dear Diary,
Hello.. welp guess I should probably start this off with my day.... So today I got called by one of the places that I applied to not long ago and the interview is on Tuesday.. this will be my first time applying and going to an interview on my own. Normally during the summer or breaks, I would always work in LI (Long Island) with my aunt in her small business or working with my grandpa's friend's businesses I mean I don't mind it- it's just not something I will want to work all the time. I came to realize that last year.... I want to try things on my own.. without working with family, or knowing anyone for that matter. This is why I have decided to look for a job on my own and in a place where I know, I will love to work. My mom is trying to convince me on going back to LI since I have a better chance of being hired, even though she is right still....it's not easy being an extra at someone's house that is not your own even if it is an aunt or cousins house.. I hate it.. It feels as if they are letting you stay just to be nice but if it was up to them the possibility of them kicking you out and telling you to look for someplace else is high.. Since I have always depended on public transportation owning a car has never really been a priority. But in LI its not the same. Yes, there are busses and trains there too but when there is a specific place in where you want to go and no bus or train to get you even close is hard. You start to feel isolated just being stuck in one little town in which you can't do anything without someone that knows one of your family members going and snitching on you. When you think that you are finally going to have a day off you get called right when you make plans and this doesn't happen once or twice but all the time up to the point in which you go months without even having a day off. It's good money I know but.. it's too much to mentally handle along with knowing you can't say no because it's going to make the person that recommended you look bad and make you seem as if you can't really be trusted with helping. With all of this, I realized that I slowly started to just kill myself working in places I don't really have an interest in. This is why even if it takes a while I will look for a job here in the city, a place that I am familiar with and work with things I am passionate about or am interested.
