But in some states you get driving license in age of 16, herein it's 18 and not minute earlier! So we're even?

[DeathDude]

Hehe touche indeed Yeah here it's 16 to get learners, then year of experience on the road then you can get license after the 1 year period is up, used to be 14 to get learners and 16 license but they changed it, thank you Alberta Government.

I had another bad evening. Every 3 or 4 days I get think that I haven't got any friends, everybody I know doesn't care about me and there's no point on being on AB forums because I'll never meet any members in person. Then in the morning everything is just fine and I'm happy. I don't know why, but sometimes I'm very depressed.

Actually it is my night that sucked: my tooth is aching like something that aches very badly!

Cheer up dude.

I'm sure everybody your age feels like that sometimes.

I'm happy...now. It's strange, but I only get that feeling after 9 or 10 PM. Then in the morning I visit AB and go to school, making me be happy again.

(talking of school : one day when me and a friend were sitting at the window and we saw a dead cat We told our teacher who told somebody to take that cat and throw it; that somebody threw it, but when another colleague came into the classroom and saw that the cat wasn't there anymore, he and my friend started shouting "The cat is alive ! The cat is alive !" My God )

WOOHOO! Finally something good the job agency's done for me. Up til now, it's been putting sticks into my wheels whenever I wanted to get a job, like sending me around all day to finally tell me I need to go to a different city the next day, while I need that card that same next day at 8h30am.

Anyways, did a test on basic Excel and Word. Never touched either one before in my life, but seems like I got good grades on those. 70% on Excel, which was highest (most others seemed to have 30%, 40%... such grades) Also were som psycho-intelligence tests, but I did them before already. Results of them were great, they said (max on flowcharts, one below max for analytic thinking and above average for numeric rows, but with outstanding accuracy). The total of this already showed I was capable of this training

Two days ago, I had my driving exam, and a half hour before that, I got a phonecall from the job agency that they sent a mail saying I had a motivation interview at 11am (which was in half an hour). 't Was impossible for me to get there in time, I wasn't able to read the mail due to accompanying dad on a holiday for a week (mom was ill and dad needed somebody to accompany him in walks), plus I had that driving exam at the exact same hour, which was settled for more than a month. They changed it to 3pm, and I finally got there.

To keep the motivation interview short, while waiting and the interviewer came out to get some coffee, we talked a bit. Waited for two hours, then took that interview and it all went smooth. The interviewer told me to have to word things better, though.

Last thing I had to do, was call this morning, between 10am and noon (and no, not calling this morning, but calling the job agency while it was morning) I did so an hour ago now, and heard I could start. First day's the 12th. From then on, it's 5 days a week, for 5 months Finally am on my way to getting a good job

Edit: Did I ever tell people how excruciatingly humble I am?

Great news and congratulations! Actually I had yesterday interview, which went extremely well.  They promised to call me this week and tell their decision. I'm impatiently waiting for it. Would be finally time to get some constant job!

[DeathDude]

Good to hear that all the process and such went well for ya, myself got a raise at my job last week from 7-7.50, well technically the whole department where I work did and it'll be starting wage for new employees too, so now I'm making 50 cents above the minimum wage here, whoo.

[Doubler]

Things have been so busy and hectic for me the last few weeks; Largely, but not entirely, due to my own planning

At least it pays off:
I just made a plea not to stop development aid, which was described to be 'very good' and 'perfect, except for a few small flaws'. Yay

I had a horrible day!!
Felt very sick this morning, more sick than usually, so I skipped gym who was the first class of the day. I decided to go to italian and english.
So when I got to school, I find out that my ex has a new girlfriend. Well, great for them! I don't really care. But since I was more sick today than usually, (been sick for over two weeks now), people assumed it was becasue of them. Yeah, that really explains why I felt like that in the morning before I knew
So there were like 10 people that said to me "Oh I thought you were over him" "I didn't expect you to react like this" "blablablai-have-no-idea-what-im-talking-aboutblabla".

In the middle of Italian class I felt like i needed to throw up, so i ran to the bathrooms but couldn't throw up. which made me feel even worse.

Thank god my english teacher was sick so I could go home..

That doesn't sound like a great day, no. I hate it when people make random statements about your relationships. Urgh. That's one of the things that pisses me off more than anything else.

Yeah! And now i just found out there's a school dance next week.
I'm not too fond of those dances, so usually I don't go. Then i get like gazillion questions "WHY NOT?". Well, why? Why should I go? i dont' like the music playing, I don't like small places with 1000 of drunk teenagers smoking into your lungs, I don't like dancing!! Why would I go?
Sometimes people say something like "oh well i'm sure you could find a date SOMEWHERE to go with you". Well, maybe I don't want a date. maybe it's not it.
And now i'm sure i'll get more comments about my ex.. "Is it because he's there with his new?"

[PrejudiceSucks]

Aye, we have one of those at the end of school this year. It's going to be a nightmare.

[DeathDude]

Yikes yeah that sounded like a pretty bad day for ya Puffin, sucks indeed when people make assumptions like that, really is annoying.
