Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm south of Denver. I think only Nicole and Stephanie will share my pain.
Crazy that we are under a Winter Storm Warning/Hazardous Weather Outlook in October. Then again, the ski resorts have been open for a few weeks already. I think I'm making chili tomorrow.
Suzi is in Colorado. So snow is fair game.
I am so over not having a job. It's only been two and a half weeks. Seriously, people, I was born to work. Occupying the Couch only leads to bad things.
Would it be potentially problematic for my long-term professional goals to apply for seasonal retail work? I think Sur la Table at the end of my street is hiring, and think of the employee discount! The only question is whether the salary would cover after-school care for the kids.
Huh, we haven't had that big a warning here in Utah. I guess the clouds that are coasting by currently are waiting to hit the true Rockies before letting go.
edit: We're still looking at a 30-40 degree drop in temperature, though.
Suzi,
good luck with Jack Frost.
(breathes sigh of relief)
Otherwise? I was going to run screaming from my office and make a flight reservation to San Diego or something.
I have a PT appt tomorrow and was planning on getting my car looked at too. I've been trying to call my PT office to reschedule, but the "Press one to speak to your office" thing keeps hanging up on me. Don't have an appt for the car, just need to get it in sometime soon.
you have got to see this campaign video for the mayor of San Francisco. It actually made my day.
After working here for ten months I decided to go to the (semi-notorious) group of food trucks down the street. Tossed the gross bahn mi/spring rolls out after a few bites. Another ten months, I guess.
Yeah, so, I got a reply back from a resume I submitted. They say they do a credit screen on their candidates before a face-to-face interview, though a bad score has no bearing on whether they'll hire you (orly? Then why do it).
Does this seem right to you? Not to me. They have it "set up" so you can do get a free credit report, and you send them the confirmation number.
This screams scam to me, as in devious ways to get your personal info. Amirite?
I think some employers -- banks, notably, and some others -- do credit checks. I think they did one on me to work at H&M. And if anyone's credit said "ready to steal!", it was probably me.
I should add, though, that that was after I was offered the job, and two interviews. Credit and background check.
The rollercoaster continues. Am getting a big raise. Effective April 1. What?
