I don;t have a job yet, but my mom is making me work at Food City once I turn 15 (which is this November). I asked Game Stop what the minimum age requirement is to work there, and they said it was 16, so I may be trying to work there at the end of next year.

The idea that a person should only do art if they're skilled at it is one of the great sins of modern education.
Everyone has an inner self that needs to be expressed. The value of art is not in its technical quality, but in its ability to connect us with one another.
QFT.
Kaynil, stop being hard on yourself. Art is art. Do it, start painting, even if you think it's poop, paint anyway. Paint 'badly'. Do whatever it is that fulfils you creatively, throw every thought about what people might think away. It's all subjective, the art you create that you may think is bad, someone might just like it. It's very possible. Do it because you enjoy doing it.
If you only have a bit of mud and a stick, you can create art. You actually have the luxury of paints, brushes, canvases and an easel. Try not to think about it too much, and just relax and do.
Can't stand when people restrict or put down people who paint, or sing, or make videos... let's just say express themselves creatively. I've been a victim of that. When I used to busk, a douche bag knocked me down (with words) and it shattered my confidence. I love songwriting and playing guitar/harmonicas. I can't stand singing my songs in front of people though, because of that one prick. It'll take time, and I'm glad I have still have my instruments to play music. Also youtube has given me that creative drive I need.
Anyway, the point is, fuck everyone else, just do what ever gets you through.
... and I work at Target.

I have no idea what those are, but I know I don't want any.
QQ to your Crew Leader. =P
What's "QQ"?
Also they're stupid rewards points, gives you "discounts" on airfares as well as certain products blah blah blaaaaaah -
-
It's a mocking way to refer to someone crying, usually over something stupid. (Baw, your class was nerfed in the latest patch, QQ moar nub). Two Qs next to each other look like a pair of eyes with tears coming down them.
Someday, we'll do away with that sort of reward point nonsense, during the glorious worker's revolution.
Oh I seeeee. Yes all the QQ to the management.Rewards points are mostly useless.

I actually just got a pretty good lead on a job at an oldschool game Arcade. I've got an interview tomorrow. Hopefully I get it, because if I don't start bringing in some money, I'm probably going to have to move. Which would really suck, cuz I like my house.
Best of luck with that.

Glad to hear that. I honestly didn't get the memo. I can be clueless like that, so I am glad you updated here your situation. It sounds pretty good.

I got that job, by the by. I'm pretty sure I've said as much elsewhere at this point, but given that this thread ended on Kaynil wishing me luck, it seems only appropriate that I add an update.
I got the job. I did some training yesterday, and I work my first real shift tomorrow. It's a small arcade. My actual job won't be anything too exciting, but the atmosphere is laid back with some opportunity for growth. Here's hoping it's enough to help smooth out some of my financial difficulties.
Nicely done sir. What are you actually doing at the arcade? -

It sounds pretty nice. Let us know how was that first serious shift.

That sucks man; but, QFT. You couldn't have said it any better. I've always enjoyed writing in my aspects and avenues. It's always been an emotional outlet that I couldn't use words verbally to express. I plan to eventually finish my novel, when I'm not continuously being sidetracked or distracted. I swear our attention spans with all of this technology is horrible. I can be focusing on one thing for like 5-10 seconds and then something 'interesting' happens and boom, train of thought gets derailed and I'm left a splutterin'.Target is a great company, they really do care about their employees and I've always loved the layout of the store.
I presently work as an Alarm Monitor for a gas company, I sit in a chair for 8 hours and monitor alarms. It's a lot like the home security system companies you hear about and see commercials for all the time. 'Cept we're the security company that monitors gas stations of our company, if that makes sense?

It was kinda surprising. 20 minutes after I arrived to my first shift, the owner gave me the keys to the place and said he'd be back in 4 hours. I guess he was impressed by my work experience or something, but I was still kinda shocked by the level of trust.
Really though, the shift was pretty dull. There were only about 8 customers the whole time. I cleaned the whole place top-to-bottom, then I just kinda..paced around, waiting for my shift to end. Hopefully business picks up soon or I'm liable to die of boredom.

I knew a guy who performed monitor checks for the gas company. It's supposed to be a pretty sweet gig, yeah?

I'm like that with some projects. Sometimes I have to force myself to focus on one thing at a time.
they really do care about their employeesDefine... care? I don't agree haha, though I definitely know it could be worse.

Must be your Target. I never had any problems with my management. They were more than happy to work with me and my schedule.
