I got a reply from Vue cinema's today. They said:
Dear Rebeca
Further to your recent application for a Part-Time General Assistant position within one of our cinemas, I regret to inform you that we have not been able to match your skills and experience with any of our vacancies.
If you would like to register your interest in any future opportunities please apply online via www.myvue.com/careers.
Thank you for your continued interest in Vue Cinemas.
Yours sincerely,
I won't post where it came from because you know, that gives away where a live and that would be quite stupid....
But yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with that reply, they could have at least given me an interview to show that even though I haven't got the skill I can change that. And anyone has to start on the career ladder somewhere, right?
But nope. I'm planning on going into town on Saturday now and just printing off a load of CV's to hand out. I'll check in Waterstone's first, they never seem to have anything on and I'm sure they must have something. So there's that first, then my sister needs to get some presents for her friends. I have no other specific needs for town otherwise. I might be able to save some money for once.
I held on to this naive thought that maybe there was a God out there and he was listening to me and he'd help me get that job. I guess he just doesn't have the time for small town girls like me, eh?
It's just depressing, is all. I'll get over it eventually. Luckily I didn't tell anyone besides my sister, it would be too embarrassing to admit to other people that I got rejected. That's what Saturday is for, right? Hopefully, there'll be something out there on Saturday for me.
I'm going to go now, I haven't been feeling all that well today, I feel like really tired and light headed and I have like a major headache. The less time I spend on the computer, the better....
It's probably just a sign of depression, right?

I think
Teachers might be wizening up to the excuses I'm feeding them on why i haven't done my homework. Its sad really. I thought I was varying my excuses but when I told my Welsh teacher that I wasn't going to the session tonight because I had a doctors appointment she didn't look like she believed me fully.
I guess the excuse luck is running low, could that mean I'm getting more luck in different fields? Like maybe finally getting the luck to get a job? Oooo, I don't know.
I'd love to get a job, and I'm guessing that's all I seem to be posting about lately.
I know it can get kind of sickening that I seem like I have some sort of obsession with getting a job, its just that I really really need the money.
I just highly doubt that people, employers, come and deliberately check up on the people they're hiring. I just can't picture someone googling my name and finding this blog and reading up on everything that I've said. It just seems unlikely.
Maybe they'd check out my fanfiction account. That would actually be more creepy than anything because I hate my fanfiction stories. Well most of them because the grammar is so bad its unbelievable. I'd rather PUKE, than read some of my fanfictions, and yet, people still favourite them.
People must just be strange.
Moving on to the other things I've been meaning to post for like DAYS but haven't had the chance.
They're pictures more than anything, but I feel like I should share them. The first one is apparently, of Haley Joel Osment, it was on his twitter account yet I can't tell if its actually him or someone that just looks exactly like him. You know what I mean? Whomever he is, he's hot. Which is why I'm wondering if its Haley, it looks like Haley, but I can't be sure, and the account wasn't verified and there were like only 3 tweets. So I'm just going to have to guess that it's actually Haley Joel Osment. Though input on whether it is actually him is always open. Maybe Haley Joel Osment himself can confirm that it's him. Now that would be an experience of a lifetime because I think Haley Joel Osment RULES! He's like one of the BEST actor of our time! He's my favourite actor too. I love like every film he's done.
The second one is of Sasuke Uchiha. There really isn't much point in me showing this one. The main reason really is because of the 'LOL' on the picture. I didn't put the 'Lol' on there, so I screen capped it just for laughs. I wanted to share it but I kept forgetting. But here it is! The picture shows Sasuke struggling with his bloody eyes. He's in pain quite obviously, but I thought it was really funny when someone decided to put LOL on it. I totally laughed at that one. Small things amuse small minds, right?
My friend, Cerys had an interview with McDonalds recently. She thought that the interview was okay. Trust me there is a reason why I'm talking about it. The reason why she doesn't want to get a second interview there now is because of the times she's been asked to work. They said to her that she would be asked to work until like 11/12 at night because it was an Evening shift and she was expected to work Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday nights most weeks. Now to me this doesn't seem like such a big deal. She said she was flat out refusing to work on Friday because of the fact that we had Irish Dancing. To be honest with you. I wouldn't give two shits if I missed Dance every now and again. I'm not all that committed to it in the first place, and being able to work Fridays is on high demand, I believe, right? So I said I can work on Fridays. So how come I don't get anything back? We have like the same grades and everything. Maybe I just don't seem like the right personality to work in like a cinema complex. I thought literally that's all you needed to be was a movie geek and good with talking to people. I can do both. I always talk to the staff at Vue when I go to the cinema.
But I bet you've all had enough of me ranting, right?
So I'm just going to go.
Oh, and one last thing, has anyone seen the third Clash of the Titans trailer? I looked up the trailer because I'm really interested in seeing the film, but guess what song just happened to be playing in the background?
The Bird and the Worm by The Used. Potentially one of my favourite songs! I almost screamed!
Another thing I almost screamed at was Damon Salvitore has my phone! Yay! I was jumping up and down when I saw that yesterday too.
Enough from me for today though. I probably won't have a lot to speak about now tomorrow....

To be honest
With you there's not much I can talk about really.
You know, I'm so desperate for work I've started praying. I'm not religious at all. Well, I used to go to Chapel, and I do believe there is a God, I believe most of what the Bible says, I'm just not religious religious, know what I mean?
But anyway, I've been praying that someone will take me on. The only times I pray is when I'm in need of something, they never get answered. But I hope that this one will finally be the one that gets answered and I get a job.
It's not that I want to be like everyone else and complain about shifts and how much I get paid. I want to work purely for the money that I really need. The money won't just go to me. I'll be able to do so much more with it. The money will pay my phone bills, I won't need to rely on my parents so much. I know it sounds really immature, but it helps my family out a lot. My mum won't have to lose like £50 quid a month, more when I need clothes because I'll be able to pay for it myself. That makes so much difference to my family that you would not believe. So the money isn't necessarily just for my benefit.
I guess that doesn't really make sense though, does it?
And at half ten, I don't really care to make sense. I just feel like shouting
COME ON, I NEED A JOB A.S.A.P.
I need Vue to get back to me and put my out of my misery.
It's like the only thing I want at the moment, besides good grades in exams of course. I wouldn't be able to work if it weren't for good marks in my GCSE's and stuff.
Do you think God reads people's blogs? If so, maybe he can answer mine....

I still await
Word from Vue cinema's. Maybe I should just quit whilst I'm ahead. I mean, I know I'm not going to get the job so why do I even bother?
So I haven't be obsessively checking my iPod like I was yesterday. I keep checking the website to see if any other jobs have come up, and I also keep thinking about it. But thinking, hoping, praying that I'll get the INTERVIEW even. The Job itself is a little far off to hope for at the moment. I never heard back from Clinton Cards so I've just given up on that one. They never even sent a confirmation thing to me like Vue did. So I'm hopeful that even if I don't get anywhere with them they'll let me know pretty quickly. It just means that I'm back to job hunting again. Not that I've stopped doing that now. I keep checking everywhere I can think of, its just with less vigor because I know I've already applied for a job and I could get that one.
But like I said, I can't get my hopes up because I know the job probably isn't going to be mine, even though I pray for it. Seriously. I pray for the job, that's how much I feel like I need it.
Don't you think it would be pretty cool if the manager or someone that does all the hiring looks up the people on the internet and saw this? Do you think that blogging would help me at all. I could mention if I get to the interview stage that I blog like everyday, besides like two or three days where I've had a pretty decent reason not to have.
But you know with a job, that just means less time to blog, and all my blog updates most nights (there I go again with the 'what if I do actually get a job) would be ridiculously short. But I enjoy blogging. I thought that in the end I'd probably be pulling my hair out trying to think of what to blog about, but I'm finding that I find it liberating to blog. I feel that I can get most of my emotions out (I'm not exactly a chatty person when it comes to sharing my opinion and feelings) without really caring who sees it. I don't give my blogger address to anyone I know. God. Now that would be a disaster if any of my friends found this page.
I talk about like everything on here. I'd be doomed.
On a happier note though. I finished reading Catcher in the Rye today. It was amazing. Just that short sentence there described my feelings about the entire novel. It was potentially the best book I've read for some time. But I say that about most books. I found that it was different. I enjoyed reading it like he was having some conversation with me or something. It was really, really good. I'd recommend it to anyone.
The reason I'm not reviewing it like I normally would is because... well... I don't know myself. I wasn't planning on reviewing it because it's such an old book and it wouldn't really be right to review a book about a man that just died.
So I nominated it for Book of the Month in my book club. Maybe other people would like to read it as much as I do.
Lolita is the book of the month this month. I'm not sure whether I'm really excited about reading it, or to be quite scared....
Its meant to be a disturbing but great book. But hey, maybe I'll end up loving it! You never know about stuff like that.
But yeah, I think that's all I'm going to post about today.
Fingers crossed that Vue will get back to me soon with GOOD news! Gah! I just can't wait.

I told you
I'd be uptight about this whole damn job application thing. I haven't told my Mum, I don't plan on telling my Mum until they actually accept me to the next stage. That is if they accept me to the next stage. I know they'd torture (not literally, obviously) if I didn't get the job. It's not that they force me to look for jobs, its that they're sick of me complaining about NOT having a job, and never having enough money to do all this stuff. I usually spend all my money on the cinema's anyway, that or books. So the money won't be spent on much.
My plan is to make an attempt to save it so that I have some money for University. Of course, I do plan on working when I get to university, its just a bit of money to start off with would be nice.
But yeah, seriously, I've checked my emails more times today than I did all last month. To be honest, I'd love to get the job, but I get the feeling that they won't hire me. I supplied one reference instead of two, which obviously isn't a good start. Secondly, I don't have any experience. Hopefully they'll overlook that when they look at it.
The interview is also something that I'm worrying about. Well, its not actually a fact that I'm even going to get to that stage, and thats only the second part! But yeah, what type of questions do they ask? What happens if I get all sarcastic and they don't like sarcastic peple? What happens if I try to be honest, and they don't like some of the answers I give?
I guess that part of the worrying comes when I do actually get to that part. So there's no real need to be anxious over that part yet, either.
I'm not planning on telling my friends either until I actually get the job. I don't want to be hounded over all the questions they'd probably ask me about why I was rejected. I'd rather get rejected alone than have everyone say something about it.
But that's just me though I guess. I never tell anyone my deepest secrets.
And now, I think I shall be going.
The Catcher in the Rye is calling my name.
Boy, now is that a good book. I'm really, really liking it so far.

Not a long post again
Mainly because I applied for a job today! Yay! Go me, there was a part time advertisement on Vue Cinemas, luckily, first added today, so I applied and hopefully I'll get a response soon! I'm really nervous now, part of me is like, OMG! I can't believe what you just did. There's not much though I can do now, hopefully I get further into the process on the job. I really need a job. It also means a free cinema ticket every time I go to the cinema. I think it will be now a thing of getting back home and checking my emails every day. They said they'd get back to me within ten days.
I don't think I can wait ten days. That's like next Tuesday. So literally in the next 3 weeks or so, I could be on the pay roll. Finally, I need the money.
Gah, I really don't have much else to say. I wasn't going to turn on the computer either because I was really disheartened about being broke and all that shit.
Gah, I'm swearing now too. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I'm not going to be able to focus in school or anything.
Life sucks.
Hopefully, hopefully, I'll get the job. I love going to the cinema. I don't think I'd know what to do if I didn't get this job. But we all get rejected from jobs at least once in our life, don't we?
On a different note, I started reading Catcher in the Rye today, and so far its really good. It was on 3 for 2 so I got other books too, like Sara wanted the first Percy Jackson book. I have it on eBook, so I didn't mind and we also got the first two books (you know, the bundle one) to the Vampire Diaries series.
Joyous occasions, right?
Anyway, I shall be going now.
Just sitting at my computer is going to make me nervous. I'll be checking my emails like every ten minutes tomorrow.... :-D

Just a quick
Blog update because I'm in middle of a movie marathon, which means that I won't have the time to post anything later.
But yeah, we're having a Logan Lerman marathon, so we'll be a while yet.
Sorry for the shortness of this blog though. But I knew I had to blog and in middle of the marathon was the only option.
Plus I'm going to see Percy Jackson again tomorrow. This time for a good cause though. It's my brothers birthday party.
