I am at work. I have stuff to do. I don't want to do it. I am bored.
In related news, I have to hire one of the 3 students I interviewed Friday. A is a junior, crushingly shy, no work experience. B is a new grad student, cheerful and competent, worked for 4 years of undergrad organizing a department's files. C is a new grad student, pleasant, work experience limited to day care/church camp.
Logic says, hire B. But I liked them all, and feel bad about not hiring A or C, especially A, who really needs a boost to get on the train of life and was so clearly way out of his comfort zone even interviewing with me that I wept inside for him.
Also, how do these kids (on work-study, so not fat cats) get through life without having had jobs? When I graduated from college I had: babysat, had a paper route, worked at a clothing store, worked at a farm stand, filed at a doctor's office, waitressed (restaurant and catering), worked in a restaurant/catring kitchen, staffed a B&B reception desk, and made slides for the art department.
