Yesterday, I went to the city and I applied at Dymocks Bookstore, Angus & Robertson, EB Games, and a store called "GAME" that sells, surprisingly enough, games! EB and Angus & Robertson are both looking for people over Christmas. Personally, I'd prefer EB, cause I know I can find it again. Angus & Robertson is tucked down in some weird corner that probably won't be there when I go back.
I also tried to apply at JB Hi-Fi, and they gave me this huge form I have to fill out. It actually REQUIRES references, which are difficult, since I haven't had a real job before. I can instead give them the details of two people that know me well, but relatives won't be accepted, and I so I need to find someone who can be reasonably relied upon to vouch (read: lie) for me.
The bus trip back was prety hectic. I walked around the entire Canberra Centre two and a half times before I found my stop. For those of you who might be reading this who happen to be unfamiliar with the Canberra Centre, that is a LOT of walking. Then, when I got on the bus, I started to panic because I didn't recognise any landmarks and thought it must be because I was on the wrong bus. But I stayed on it, like an idiot, and everything turned out alright.
In other news, I recently found out my bank card has expired, and I have to get a new one from the bank. Since I don't have driver's license (since I don't drive), I have to ferret through the entire house and any and all unpacked boxes that may be around in order to find enough forms of valid identification. I could get a proof of age card, but to get one of those I have to prove a) that I am really me, and b) that I am really my age, which leads us back to the identification issue. Why can't banks just take fingerprints, or a blood sample?
