Yay! The college bookstore do employ students who do not have any SSN yet. So I guess I will be appying for that job then. However, I do stumble a few questions from the application form and a little problem. For instance, I do not have any PREVIOUS employment. What am I going to do about that employment history column? Leave it blank? Actually I was thinking of putting my mother's name there and then I would claim that I worked in Indonesia before coming to USA to study. BUT it is so called cheating! BAH! Anyway, let's go to the some questions I've got. Actually it is rather personal stuff just like when will I be available to start work, what is the salary I expect, position(s) I desired/ areas of interest. Here's what is going on. If I were to write down that I will start work only after this quarter, I am afraid that it would reflect badly. Next, I sure do want a high salary. However, I can't possibly write down how much exactly I want as I'm afraid that the employer would think that I think highly of myself to ask for the HIGH salary. Moreover, I have no idea on how much they are willing to pay a college student like me with no working experience at all. WORSE, the desired position. I really have no idea on what people working in bookstore do. Actually, I was thinking of a cashier, but I hate standing on one place the whole time. So, I thought of being the attendant (basically, helping those who have troubles finding their textbooks, etc.) They leave 3 blanks for the position column. Is there anyone of you who could help me out?

Other than the good news from the bookstore, you could say that I have a bad starting day in the morning. As usual, I walked to the bus stop at the convention center. Today is so windy and I almost flew when I walked to the bus stop. It is just some minor setback for the windy day. After I reached the bus stop, bus 11 arrived and I boarded it through the back door. From downtown, you can board the bus anywhere, from the front or the back. When I want to board the bus there was this stupid big dog that was on my way. So I couldn't got in. When the dog got up on his sitting position (let's assume it is not a bitch), I boared the bus and to my dismay, the dumb bus driver close the stupid door, leaving my bag outside the door while my body was IN the bus! You got it right, I was STUCK on the door. It was so embarassing! On the bus, I was cursing the stupid driver under my breath. Now, I have a little trauma with stupid automated doors like lift door.

The one thing that could cheer me up is that I got the job at the bookstore. Wish me luck!
