I feel stagnant right now I'm ready to start school I'm ready to start a job I'm ready for my gums to heal so I can eat what I want (I had wisdom teeth surgery) but I don't want to be impatient but I don't want to look back on my life and see the majority of it stuck in my room looking at 4 walls

Mingo Jobcorps, where you get conditioned to become a blue collar worker slaving away for the rest of your life, all while simultaneously gaining a cigarette addiction that’ll leach off your very small pay checks😃.

Went to barns and noble and made a pillow fort with some friends. Gotta love the weekend.

Some Jobcorps humor

*minor inconvenience* "I'm willing to get termed over this"

"OSHA VIOLATION"

"That's a write up" "do it you won't"

*unexplained beef between trades claiming to be the best*

"Thats not very employment readiness of you"

"I'm resigning" "no, not allowed."

*lightly tapped* "ASSULT! IM DYING!"

"You could volunteer for *unenjoyable activity*" "I'd do it for a positive on my card 👀👀"

*spots an issue that is a certain trades job to fix* "where is *trade* when you need them? (Even better if it's the person's who's saying it trade)

"Summer camp prison" when describing jobcorps

"At least we're not in *other dorm*"

"It could be worse. You could be in *other center/trade*"

"You can't say/do that anymore, we're federal employees!"

"I'll stop *breaking minor rule no one cares about* when the government stops trying to kill me" (usually said by a minority of some kind)

"F<ck yeah! Government *basic necessity like water, blankets, shower supplies*"

"That's it, I'm unionizing." "We can't unionize. Most of us are minors."

(When traveling somewhere other than the state the center is in) "wow look at all this *construction work of various types*. The jobcorps kids here must have *various trades similar to the construction type*"

"I want you all to *do task after work hours* for me" "do we get paid over time?" (Spoiler, we don't.)

"I'm tired of this grandpa!" "That's too Damn bad! You keep *insert task here*"

"I'm not paid enough to care about that." (Usually involves some unnecessary drama)

"Stop complaining and enjoy the free health care."

*coming back from getting blood drawn/vaccines* "I got stabbed!"

Me, realizing my lines are slightly crooked halfway through cutting my drywall: IM TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA!

Forman from across the room: THATS TOO DAMM BAD!

Having to transfer Jobcorp centers because my disability makes me unable to continue to do any of the trades offered at the one I'm at. . . Feeling feelings about this.

Me walking up to my KP coworkers: will someone who is not afraid of or allergic to bees please go put this trash bag into the dumpster full of bees? Also, side note, our dumpster is FULL OF BEES.
