This economy is shit

Why did I ever have the idea in my head that finding a job would be simple as cake once I had a four-year degree?  I'm not even looking for a "real" job (aka a job that pertains to my degree or is one that I can build a career off of) just yet.  All I wanted was a simple, low-wage job just to save some money this summer and make for easy work.  So I finally started work at Macehole's (you know the company I really mean) after they dicked me around for almost a full month after the initial interview and fact they hired me.  What a pain in the ass- I had to write a scathing letter to corporate offices about their lack of organization and the fact they told me I was hired and failed to return my calls or let me know what was going on.  As you can imagine, they were notified and apologized profusely and had me into fill out paperwork within the next couple of days.  I'm yet to be entered into the computer system so I don't have an actual schedule set up, or the ability to request work days, hours, etc. yet.  Therefore, I had to call myself to speak with my manager and find out when she wants me to come into work this week.  Well, as per usual, no one answered the office phone, so I was forced to leave a message telling her I wanted to know my hours this week and kindly requesting she call me back.  No word yet, and that was 5 hours ago.  I JUST WANT TO FUCKING WORK BECAUSE I WANT  SOME FUCKING MONEY!!!!! Goddamn man!  I will scrub floors, or empty trash, I don't care.  However, all of the dicking around Macehole's has put me through is hardly worth the fact I'm being paid $8.00 an hour and my first week in, I was only given 12 hours of work.  Totally not worth it.  My job search continues tomorrow; alas, that does not negate the fact I need money now.  Sigh... it's a vicious circle.  Some might say: "oh, you're so lucky you don't have a job, now you can do what you want"  LIES.  It's kind of hard to go out and have fun with no discretionary income of which to speak.  And I'm not the only one in this boat.  Everything in this two-bit town seems to be closing lately: The Olive Branch, The Pharmacy... this place blows whale dick.  I have so many friends that now have bachelor's degrees and cannot even find simple, temporary summer jobs within a 30 mile radius.  And, with the price of gas, it's totally not worth it to drive more than 30 miles for a low-wage job.  I'm so fucking stressed.  I have student loans to pay off come November, I'm sick of living at home, I'm sick of being away from my boyfriend, and I'm sick of this area.   FML.
