Montreal -40 by Malajube and My Current Job Situation...

by Rinn in My Life

Has anyone heard of the group Malajube? They sing the song Montreal -40 and even though they're singing in a totally different language and I honestly don't understand a word they're saying, the song is sooo catchy! And not only that, I love the music video, its sooo cute!


Ok, so in other news, I'm still searching for a job!! Geez, my friend Nick and I went job hunting AGAIN on Friday and we both applied to work at this restaurant. Nick and I have searched on craigslist.com and we've found that there are places looking for people to hire, but they aren't interested in seasonal workers. They don't want to give out summer jobs, which is such a pain in the butt because there are barely any places taking people for just summer jobs.

HOWEVER, I used to attend this art camp where I eventually became a CIT (counselor-in-training) teaching Photoshop and Cinema 4D to campers in the Computer Shop. I recently received an email from the current Computer Shop Head asking if I'd go back and teach digital art this summer as a Junior Counselor, meaning I'd actually get paid for the job unlike when I was a CIT. I'm not sure whether or not I want to take this job. Granted, they are asking me to come back, but if I do go back its going to throw my summer plans off quite a bit. If I go back there and work, I'm going to have to live on the camp premises, meaning that I will only have about 2.5 weeks to get all my driving stuff done before I'd have to pack up and move into my cabin. That also means that I won't be able to hang out with Nick that much since I'd be at camp (which is ironically located 2 minutes away from the boarding school Nick and I attended) which will kind of suck because I won't be seeing him during my school year since he's still stuck at my old school while I'm in college. Another issue is that I know that I'm not going to get paid that much. I'm going to be living on the camp's premises as well as eating food that the camp prepares which will be taken out of my salary and I also have acces to any of the art facilities at the camp which will also be another deduction. Oiiiii, which means that I'm really not getting paid much at all.

Ick, I'm not sure whether or not should continue to search for a job around my town or just take the job that's been offered to me but not get paid as much as I would if I'd taken a normal job. BLAHHHHHHHHHH

    Heh, I'm having a similar problem, only that I haven't found anything at All.
    I personally would take the job at the camp because it' involves something you clearly like to do. :)
    And nice song yeah ^^

    Ps. I hope you don'tmind that a totally random person storms into your journal and spams it :P

    Ps. Ps. I would even if you did mind.

    bath and body works is hiring! =]

    well I'm not sure if that helped :( but good luck with the job situation! personally, I think you can do a lot better than the camp thingie. for meee. I don't like to be in a rush for anything (which is not always good cause it's not burger king I can't alwys have it MY WAY) -.- I'm sure you'll find a job in town, then you'd be able to visit your friends. have you checked with school? sometimes they have diff places of internship (that actually pays). My friend found a internship at JPL over the summer and they're paying. ooo, and if you're fluent or speak some japanese, you can always find a lil shop they'd appreciate your bi-lingual-ness.

    Rinn, it's your totally free summer! no summer reading, no homework, just time to relax! travel! see new people! places!!! <--- that's an excuse for you to visit me at cornell! =]

    Try not telling employers that you're looking for a job for seasonal only. Though if you apply to chain stores they might hire you.
