follow through is a beoych

I applied for a shit ton of customer service jobs, and all last week I was getting calls back to back saying they wanted to see me. Now, when I am applying I make sure the job is listed as 'Los Angeles' because that is where I live. Every single job that called me back was NOT in Los Angeles, they were at least an hour or more away by bus. I do not have a car so I have to bus it everywhere. My last job was an hour and a half bus ride each way and my body turned on me big time because of it. The stiffness, the swollen ankles, the aching back. It was all hell. After I left I swore never again would I ride the bus this far for a job. After the 7th call I gave in and said I would go in for an interview. I have never purposely gone to Inglewood so I figure I'd check it out. It was a two hour bus ride one way plus a 20 minute walk down an industrial road with no bus service to the building. All the way there I was like, 'You don't want this job, just go home.' My phone is off because I can't pay the bill so I couldn't call and cancel. I know, who cares if you don't show up? But I just didn't feel right about not showing up, without being able to get in touch with them. I always wear flip flops to walk in and change into my interview shoes outside the building out of view of anyone. I ended up being a half and hour late, but they acted like they were running late anyway so no big deal. I was given an appointment with the wrong department. Sales, which you need a car for. Customer service you don't. I tried my best to get through the interview and be sunny and cheery, but all I could think is I'm not spending my summer doing this. When you get home at 7 or 8 at night, you don't want to do anything. There is no hitting the gym or working out at home alone. You are tired and sore from the bus ride. I want to work in the city. No more than 40 minutes to commute, prefer less. So I can get home at a decent hour and work out if I want, plus have some evening left to wind down. Not just get home and collapse. I'm too old for the schleprock. I want the universe to support this request.
