Ya, going to the requisite Hot Topic in any mall my girlfriend and I go to and not buying anything has become almost a tradition. Well, except for last time when she bought a shirt. The other tradition is noticably running away from the requisite Abercrombie. I don't know, any store where you're greeting by a 10x12 foot picture of a shirtless guy with unrealistic muscles kind of scares me.
Actually the two stores I hate are Kohl's and JC Penney. Both due to childhood memories of being stuck in those stores for far too long.
Anyways, right now I have ANGST about job hunting. It seems that qualifications only get you pre-selected for interviews. Actually getting a job offer? That takes either internal connections or the ability to build rapport with the interviewer, neither of which I'm good at at all. The result is dozens of rejection e-mails, letters, and at least one voice mail. Don't get me started on the rhetoric of rejection letters; they are sooooo fake and insincerely flattering and dfkjasifowehjghsdkjvnzxvbsidlugkjeshdfviousdhvjbnsdjfkgds
