The search continues
Job hunting is quickly climbing up* on the list of things I do not enjoy.
I applied for 2 federal jobs this morning, both secretarial. Both are at Fort Sam Houston, which is still further than I want to drive, but I'm starting to get more desperate as the days go by. Here is an excerpt from the job announcements:
Knowledge of spelling, arrangement, grammar, and requires formats of messages, letters, charts, MFR?s, staff papers, etc.
I don't even have a sarcastic remark...it's too easy!
Speaking of desperation, I applied yesterday for a cashier position at the Home Depot which will soon be opening just down the road from our house. Not my number one choice, but I'm sure any emplyee discount could be put to good use! Also, one of J's bosses works part time at a Home Depot and supposedly the pay is pretty decent.
I was talking to Ryan (our main construction guy for the house) a few days ago and he mentioned that Centex Homes is hiring for a position I might be interested in: Schedule Builder Coordinator. He brought by the information today so I could apply (online, of course). After reading the position description, I am both frustrated and somewhat bewildered. Although poorly formatted, everything looked good until I got to the final paragraph:
What are the prerequisites for employment? (Education, prior experience, other?)' HS Diploma ' Two years collage experience ' 2 years project management experience
Ooohhhh, the irony. If only I'd spent my 3rd grade year making collages instead of playing with My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids.
This afternoon I will be attending a Washington Mutual job fair in hopes of getting hired for one of many Telephone Banker positions open in San Antonio. This seems somewhat promising, but considering the publicity it has gotten, it will probably just be me and 84,361 other hopeful job-seekers. In an attempt to boost my odds, I have already applied online and tailored my latest resume to address the qualifications mentioned on their website. Wish me luck!!
*Things I do not enjoy.
1)Incorrect spelling/grammar/punctuation
2)Spiders
3)Hominy :)
4)Lake stew
5)Job Hunting
6)Packing for vacation
7)Cleaning the bathroom
8)Unpacking after moving

I'm with you on everything but the lake stew and hominy!! I would add green peas and pickled heart.
I see two serious flaws in your list. You don't expect everyone to believe that you do not enjoy spiders less than you do not enjoy incorrect spelling/grammar/punctuation, I know you better than that, ubsurd I say. Secondly, you left out "Sent of Subway," I recommend it be placed above hominy, which is pretty rancid, but below spiders. I also find the job adds far to easy to rip on, so many sarcastic comments flying around in my head that it would take days to write all out, so I'll reluctantly refrain. Later!?
I'm sorry you have to get a job. You could just do what I do and not work, and instead gladly recieve a weekly allowance from my parents. I'm with you and Chuck on not liking the scent of Subway. At least if you mean the sandwich place although the other kind doesn't smell so great either.
TCBY Yogurt. There. You didn't mention that. Or how about a WAR reports. Those are cool too. Ok well that's all I've got.
Z- you don't like green peas or I don't? Or both, maybe. okay, they can join the list.
Chuck- your confussing me, but what I mint was that english errors are worse then spiders. I think. But it is a vary close call. And it may change, at some times, depending on the type and size of the spider.
Kayla-yes, we're referring to the sandwich place, but both are pretty rancid. Especially the Subways in England. I assume New York is the same(isn't that where you went?), but I haven't been there, so I wouldn't know.
Jay-you are SOOOO right. I do hate that. I guess I kind of lumped it in with grammatical errors but it deserves it's own mention.
The Country's Best Yogurt Yogurt.
Weekly Action Report Report.
Digital Video Disc Disc.
You forgot to say exsetera exsetera exsetera
what? expresso?
Hominy and lake stew. BLECK!! I'm with you there man. I mean, lady.
Yeah, about the brown shirt, I actually got it from the same place I was going to get that other one! It was Tillys. Remember? Yeah, only it is a sweater, and it has a hood. Did you see it? I was wearing it in the picture. :) Love you!
My list is almost the same:
