I need to break up with someone. And I do not want to let them down gently either. Firmly I want to say: It’s not me, it’s you! Quit calling me!!!!!
So, … here is the deal.
The kid is looking for summer employment. Everything is online these days. I thought I could help by sending in resumes (that she wrote herself) just to get the ball rolling. I did not tell her I was doing this, I just did. Shame on me for being a helicopter parent.
So, … shortly after I started getting calls. From schools. Not sure why from schools. Especially when I was on job placement websites. I also know I did not give them my phone number. So much for privacy.
I made the mistake of answering. Ever since, I am harassed with calls. Five to 10 a day!! Start now and save $$$. Hard selling won’t take no for an answer.
I had toyed around with the idea of getting a Masters in legal studies but and it is a BIG butt, the tuition is re-donk (my made up word for even more than ridiculous). And these programs time out so basically I’d be in school full-time for two years. Even if I was still interested, their tactics are deplorable.
Ain’t no one got time for this peeps. I want to self improve but I cannot go to school full-time and work full-time ever again. I am already having flash backs. I missed so much in my personal life doing that once upon a time.
So, … moral to the story. Do not put in job applications for your kid and do NOT answer the phone or give any info out to these for profit seeking blood suckers at universities which will remain nameless to protect the guilty.
As always, more to come.
