I pound the job hunting pavement for 2.5 months, through multiple counties.
I put in an application from a local newspaper asking for HS grads for commission sales in a small cell phone store. I'm getting that desperate. I get a phone call ONE HOUR from when I dropped off the application. They schedule an interview. 3 minutes into the interview they inform me that they called me in for a call center rep position. 3 people see me. 90% of the time the General Manager talks. It's like he wasn't really interested in anything I had to say. I leave without any promise of nothing. I get a call the next day to take a personality test the following week. We're told we'll have the results in 1-2 weeks. I get a call the NEXT DAY for a 2nd interview. All the bets are off when it comes to job hunting. It isn't a numbers game, it's plain dumb luck, nothing personal.

Some people bitch instead of work, some bitch about work, some people get back to work.

So... what if you find out that the thing that you have a passion for, the thing that you do best is not marketable?

ripples and currents of quality of life...

flows not of temperature, nor pressures...

arbitrated. from the start

shall it consume you? thrash you 'bout?

what choice?

balls in play deigned fair or foul, not by us mere forms

predated, postmarked, and tried

think indians were sitting around campfires hoping for casinos?

it is what it is, and changes while the same

you're money? your job?

aisle hunting... on barren ground

At least you'll be entertained. The playa is full of people who've made their non-marketable passions entertaining.

Strangury is the painful passage of small quantities of urine which are expelled slowly by straining with severe urgency; it is usually accompanied with the unsatisfying feeling of a remaining volume inside and a desire to pass something that will not pass.

If I had a tank, I`d file my taxes in person.


I probably shouldn`t have a tank.
