Good luck, Nora and Vortex.
So, did we know about the bats that roost in carnivorous plants? [link]
Now we do.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good luck, Vortex. I hope the devil you don't know turns out to be better than the devil you know.
unfortunately, I do know this devil, and he's just as bad. I've worked for him before and he tells you what you want to hear. His intentions are good (unlike the previous boss), but he has no follow through. I just want a boss that I can trust. Is that so wrong?
but, thanks for the good wishes everyone. From your mouth to Chluthu's ears ;)

Good luck Vortex and Nora!
IOmeN: ! I didn't get the job because I don't have an outgoing enough personality! Not that I'm not competent but that I'm not bubbly enough! That is so bogus, I'm really angry!
Why do I have to be something I'm not just to get a job. I can be as pleasant as I need to be, but isn't it more important for me to concentrate on learning to do a job right? How do I become a more outgoing person when it is not in my nature. Why is this the big obstacle in my way for getting a job?!

Good luck Vortex! Does that mean you have to commute to the law school?

Not so wrong! I hate people that tell you what you want to hear. One of our pastors is like that...basically the same personality as when he was a serious addict. Drives me no end of crazy. And I'm sure I rub him the wrong way too, because I always tell him how it is, even when I know he doesn't want to know it. Why can't people just say stuff that's true?
Anyway, yeah, good luck.

oh, quester, I'm sorry. Have you tried working with a job coach or someone like that who would give you honest feedback on how you come across in an interview?

This time it was a dispatcher at a tech company. 2 weeks ago it was a receptionist at an insurance company. I can't believe this is a legitimate critisism! It's not like I don't speak to people or frown at them all the time.
No, I'm not gifted at making chit-chat and I don't feel comfortable joking around until I know people better. Why does that disqualify me for jobs?
I guess I'm not exuding confidence. Well, I've been unemployed for 2 years so, no, I don't have a lot to spare!
