I had a 3+ hour job interview yesterday morning, and the entire time I wanted to kick off my shoes and walk around. My hobbit feet were being tortured and the chair I was in was not friendly to my back. I generally never sit for more than about 45 minutes, tops, without walking for a minute anyway.
However, the interview went really well and I am hoping to be working soon, part-time. There are a couple of issues, though, which are out of my hands, so I need to reign in my excitement until things are worked out a bit better. If I could pick up another part-time job it would be ideal.
It was pouring rain and cold and just nasty when I was going to my interview. By the time I got out, things had cleared up a good bit, thank goodness.
I keep seeing job ads on Craigslist where students are advertising for someone to write their term papers for them! Really takes cheating to a new level. I am always tempted to ask them how they think someone else is going to write a terrific term paper for them in one night? It's always due the next day. And then of course, how would the kid pay the writer?! I hated writing papers when I was a kid, but those were the days when you actually had to physically GO to the library and look through the card catalogue, and look through dusty stacks of books and boring periodicals. Now you have GOOGLE!
So I am not feeling sorry for anyone having to research anything now.
I saw an ad this morning that included this: "Must be able to come in and work with no drama." [Hmmm... bet I know why the last person is no longer there! I guess I would have to hope they didn't discover my undergrad degree is in Drama... LOL]
More Funny job ad lines: [these are REAL ads, fyi]
"I would like to have a memorial portrait painted on an acoustic guitar that belonged to a deceased relative." [because they can't remember what he looks like? sounds sorta creepy to me...]
"I am looking for somebody to make a sign for the entrance to our company using a slab of live edge wood that we will provide (about 1'x2'). Our company name has 3 words. Looking for something more professional than rustic." [so burning words into a slab of wood should look professional?!?]
"Fashion Designer looking for a seamstress that is creative and is willing to help create Exotic Fashion wear." [what exactly does "exotic" mean?? all the possibilities are rather scary]
"The bottom line is that people like me want to bust our rear ends in an effort to create a brand, a lifestyle and a future for ourselves where we don't have to work for arrogant pricks in order to pay the bills." same ad goes on to say: "Please don't send me resumes. I'm not a file opener. Leave your heart bleeding in an email." [Lots of drama in the AD! Don't think I want to work for this person...]
"We're looking for good looking fit guys to model jockstraps and underwear." [they forgot to say EXHIBITIONIST...]
"need help with bottle rocket it depends on how nice, you can make it. will pay cash send me pics of the rocket. Must work perfect" [I think there is a mailbox somewhere that is in imminent danger]

Are you the ultimate Catfish? Have you mastered the art of multiple online identities? Have others fallen in love with your Internet alter-egos? Are you an expert at leading a double life?" [if so, you are obviously mentally unbalanced and the perfect person to star in an MTV show!!]
"Looked for experienced graffiti artist for contract work to create engaging and creative art work. Must have experience with paint markers, sharpies and the like. Throw ups and pieces and tags of your work needed to verify your style." [somebody is in love and itches to declare it on an overpass... but English is not their strong suit]
"I write songs and have the tune, but I can't sing good or play an instrument." [so how, exactly, are you going to covey the tune to your potential partner?]
