I didn't get offered the Comcast customer service job, which was a part-time gig that would only net me around $260/week before taxes... so I can't get too worked up about it. Yet... I can't even get a goddamn customer service job?!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh Theo, I am so sorry.

That sucks, Theo.

I'm sorry Theo. I'm not having much luck in this market either. I know lots of people are struggling to find work, on this board too.

Word, Theo.
Speaking of annoying, how about websites that ask you to upload your resume, then you have to type in all your info ANYWAY?!
UGH.
Also, I wrote a (I think) kick-ass cover letter for 2 hours, and then the stupid website didn't even ask for a cover letter.
GRRRRRR.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
87° in the house. Which is a comfortable temperature for me to be awake in. We'll see how things are when I try and sleep.
I called the pharmacy in case, against all odds, my whining had suddenly changed office protocol with my doctor.
Of course not.
A spoon, a spoon, my kingdom for a spoon.
Theo, how utterly frustrating. I'm so sorry.

Erin, that sounds like my day when I applied for my current job.
Sorry, Theo, that sucks.

I've aged out of Unemployment Benefits, so I'm coasting on my dwindling savings until I find a job. Any job, really, at this point.
The ironic thing is, I'm a good employee who takes pride in doing a good job. Just what you should want to hire.

Yeah, and employers are looking for a cheap, not long term, way out, from the things I am hearing.
It isn't hot here, barely 72, but the humidity is like whoa (94%.) I wish I'd closed the house up this morning, but I didn't. Fans help, but I may turn the bedroom ac back on to sleep tonight. I don't like sticking to my sheets, no matter how cool.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Amazing how little I accomplished today. /not proud
Theo, perhaps you had more brain than they wanted? If you think for yourself it's seen as a drawback for some workplaces... Good luck finding something good!
