some problems

[Sledgehammer427]

I'm kinda looking for some advice. I'm hoping that I didn't come to the wrong place.
Let me explain.
I've had trouble finding a job for a while now, I worked as a personal assistant for a woman and although the pay was good, there was no set schedule and it was all kinds of messed up regarding the legality of things she was doing.
That being said, I have previous work experience, although I'm having one heckuva time getting in anywhere else. I applied at three places near the end of October, all but one online, I'm having trouble finding places that still use paper applications. Anyways, I have a lot of experience regarding electronics and games, so I apply at Gamestop, Staples, and Radioshack.
I did what I was taught to do, I called in, stopped in, made sure managers got my name, everything and nothing. Gamestop said they will keep me on file and I never heard from Staples or Radioshack.

Now, another bit of intrigue.
my grandmother works at Wal-Mart. I've tried twice to get in to no avail. again, calling in every other day, stopping in, using good references...everything.
I'm in the process of trying again now. I put the app in on tuesday, and since it's a holiday week, I'm kinda reluctant to call in (since I'm not sure what the hours of the lady I'm supposed to talk to are) and since I'm not sure how the "applicant etiquette" goes for holiday weeks.

Another problem. I've been jobless for a while now, since I got back here on October 16th. my girlfriend, who is the same one that dumped me a while back for those who remember, it's a long, complicated story but we mended things up. It's bulletproof now, just trust me on that one.
as I was saying, my girlfriend is really pushing for me to get a job.
I'm pushing for me to get a job. but recently I've been sidetracked.
I got my car breaking down one part at a time, I've things I have to do here at home, chores, cleaning, you know, home stuff. and it keeps me from even remembering that I have to call in on my application, which, I said before, I'm not sure what to do during this week, I'm hoping that window isn't closing.

but now, this joblessness is spilling into everything, my relationships with my parents, my friends, and my girlfriend.
I'm genuinely trying to find work, and every time I'm asked it seems to them like I'm avoiding it, I swear to you guys I'm not.
this same thing happened in school, I would get homework, and I would do everything to make sure I did it, and then I wouldn't do it, I'd forget or what have you. Then the next day I get pissed at myself for not doing it. day after day. to everyone else I am avoiding it, but nobody believes me when I say I really forgot when I really did, when doing it escaped my mind totally. It's killing me.
I really want a job, I really want to get out and do something, but something always jumps in the way and nobody believes me when I say it does. I'm afraid I might have something, and I'm looking for advice as to what to do otherwise.
perhaps I need to vent. that usually helps a little. but I really don't know what to do. my whole world is closing in around me and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
