i needa job

soooo i've been unemployed for a good month or so. i discovered i am quite a flake when it comes to employment i must say... which doesn't say much for me but it has been a learning experience about myself. i've found that i am definitely not a desk job person. i actually would not mind a desk job if it were something fun and consistent. my last job i was able to surf the web hours at a time. to most this would seem like a dream job, but let me tell you it got old, FAST. there are many entertaining blogs to read, but i felt like i had read them all. monotony is not my friend.

the last job before i was at before that lasted for a pretty long time in my standards (about a year). i think this was possible because it dealed with fashion, and meeting/helping people. i am in the process of getting this job back but it involves someone getting fired so i can take that position back. poor guy haha. part of me is excited to go back but part of me also wishes i could do something else. i actually applied at a local cafe which i've been to a couple times. it really is a funky and quirky place and i always dreamed of creating beautiful coffee art masterpieces ever since i watched "coffee prince".it is a korean soap opera about a girl who pretends to be a boy to get a job as a barista at a cafe that only hires cute males. i know, it sounds shady, but what can i say? koreans like drama.

since it would be a part time, i'd have to find another side job. it got me thinking. i love dogs, and i don't mind engaging in physical activity since the weather is starting to get nicer. i could definitely use the exercise. i thought, "why not dog walking?!". silly me, why hadn't i thought of this sooner? i was clicking through craigslist again and found that there are a crapload of people advertising themselves as dog walkers/sitters. one person wrote that they were college educated with a degree in doggie cpr. w-t-f? ummmm 5 year olds can love dogs just as much as college graduates. too bad i didn't take that doggie cpr class in college... some said they could produce references on demand and some seekers asked for the walkers to be "bonded & insured". what the hell does that mean?!

also the subject of "how the heck do you get to the dog?" popped into my head. do these people give our their house keys to complete strangers? this dog walking stuff boggles my mind...
can anyone enlighten me on dog walking formalities?

all dogs go to heaven...?

i was perusing through craigslist today and i always like to go to the pet forums to see what cute and cuddly friends are up for adoption and whatnot. i've always liked animals since i was little but ever since i got tofu, i've become a huge dog lover. it's really sad to look at craigslist sometimes because there are so many pet owners who can no longer take care of their pets because of relocating or not being home enough for them. i wish i could adopt a few of them but my parents would have a cow -_-; but maybe i'll just bring one home to melt their hearts..heehee

one post in particular hit home for me

a volunteer at a shelter in jersey city was reaching out for volunteers to take the dogs on walks. sadly a few of the dogs there are up for euthanasia because they haven't been adopted and have overstayed their welcome at the shelter. supposedly if enough people volunteer to walk the dogs, it will help prevent them from being put down. i think tomorrow i will call them up to see if i can volunteer. it's heart breaking to think of these dogs, many of them coming from abusive owners or just being thrown into the shelter. alot of them are looked over because of old age or too much energy. hopefully we can lend a helping hand to our furry-pawed friends.
