Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

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?

What kind of job was it, sign dancer?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I just want a boss that I can trust. Is that so wrong?

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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!

No, I haven't done that. I supposed I should but it seems very onerrous to me.

That is the gist of the feedback I'm getting from the Temp Agency.
