Sitting in Florida...

Yea...all this sitting in Tallahassee, Florida without a job...cut it out. I find it funny that by this being the summer, no one is really hiring for jobs. I mean Sears, Bath and Body Works, Toys 'R' Us, Dillards, Macy's...no one. This is a bust...clearly the pits. I just don't understand. Why is it that the nice, clean, willing to be a hard worker can't get a job? Yet these loners with failed suicide attempts, gangbangers and whores have twelve jobs. My dawg Shannen just said she saw a crackhead with a job...in the mall. The mall...really? Why does she have a job and not me? I don't understand...

Then there's the dilemma of not having retail experience that everyone seems to blurt out loud..."Do you have any RETAIL experience?" Forget that...man just give a sista like me a chance to prove that I can what little Becky Sue or Jasmine can do...you're selling clothing for God's sake. I can sell opened ketchup packets to a lady in white gloves...why won't you Floridians give me a mother freakin' job?

But that's okay...see my sister is the manager at GNC in the mall back home in Mississippi. She told me that if I ever came home and needed a job, then I'd have on. Here lies the problem...in Florida, minimum wage is $6.75, a quarter away from $7. Some jobs even start you out with more than that. Yet in Mississippi, minimum wage is between $5.25 and $5.75...what am I gonna do with that? What bills can possibly be paid with that? I understand the cost of living in Mississippi is cheaper than Florida but can't minimum wage be the same everywhere? This is clearly a bust is slowly turning into the pits...
