Mom drove me to Community Enterprises this week, and also had to stop at Bed Bath & Beyond and Home Depot for a few things afterwards. We spoke with Fey and Rick about creating a cover letter and having me join some kind of program that it runs where I get to meet people and do things like play games and watch movies with them.
After we left, she criticized me for looking bored the whole time until I picked up a soda from the fridge for a reward code (which I haven't gotten any of for more than a month). She explained a bunch of stuff that I did wrong but might not have been aware of. For example, Fey did tell her that while I was waiting for the bus last time I was there (which was about a month ago), I paced around as if I was bored, to which she explained that I do that and have internalized conversations with myself. For that, I suppose I could go outside from now on, especially since it is getting warmer now.
One thing in particular, though, is the fact that for the past several weeks, I've been forwarding everything I receive from CareerBuilder to Fey for her to look through for me. When she asked me about taking it upon myself to look through them to see what's appropriate, I told her that I haven't done anything with them in the longest time due to personal projects such as writing fanfiction and learning kanji.
If you'd like to know, I gave entirely up on CareerBuilder ages ago, because it's fucking disorienting. From the criteria I specified, a lot of the positions are not appropriate for me, and/or are located in Nassau County, Connecticut, or New Jersey.
If you ask me, I think it's better right now that I be unemployed, living with my parents, and running on a budget that consists mostly of money they pay me for chores. Mondays through Fridays (especially in the morning) are when I'm most able to focus on personal stuff, since they're not home for most of the day on those days. Dad uses the main computer a lot when he's home, and even though I do have my own laptop, our PC is just so much more convenient to use than that. On her part, Mom does ask me to do stuff for her, although she does let me finish up whatever I might be doing first. (On weekdays when she's at work, she usually just leaves a list of things for me to do whenever I see fit.) Really, it makes me look forward to the end of the weekend, when I'm home all by myself again. And even though it is going to be essential at some point to make a regular income again, having a job now would likely cost me the best time I have for projects, unless it were on the weekends, which would be most convenient. (All the better that I already finished college a few years ago.)
(Yeah. I'll admit right now that I haven't actually been working on Kanji in Context or any of my fanfics. Been playing Sonic Adventure 2: Battle instead, because right now, I'm waiting for Chelle to get back to me with a critique of what I've written so far of chapter 2 of Starbound. Been expecting it pretty soon, although she has described in her blog what a mess her schedule is right now, but having been off of Kanji In Context for a while now, I don't want to be doing that, only to receive the critique and then have to switch back, especially since I've only got a few more pages to write to the chapter once I do get it critiqued. For the record, there are certain commissions left that I ordered from her, as well as several emails she has yet to respond to, but I might appreciate the critique first before any of that.)

Noticed some time before dawn this morning that Mom picked up volume 3 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Except, that it's the manga, not the anime. Gonna have to bring that up at the library reference desk.
