I’m starting to see more and more job app sights ask for a ball park figure for my age. What in high holy hell? Age discrimination much? Why not just fucking ask me for my birth year outright? Naturally it’s one of those questions with the little star next to it, meaning I have to … More the age thing
I’m off today and while it’s gorgeous out, I knew I needed to spend a few hours on the computer job hunting, updating my job thingy spreadsheet and well, the usual figuring out what the hell is going on. You know, same shit, different day. I’ve got U2 cranked in my ear because other than … More the pit of my stomach
Here’s an age old question. How am I supposed to apply for what is basically an entry level job in a (slightly) different industry when I have no experience and they want years of it? I’m sure said job description was written by someone who really has no fucking clue what the job actually entails, … More spinning
I want to win the lottery right fucking now. Because I’m so fed the fuck UP with everyone, all Dems and GOPers not being able to put on their big boy and girl panties and act like fucking adults and doing nothing but acting like a group of pre schoolers who can’t play nice in … More i can’t even anymore

“Take these shoes Click clacking down some dead end street Take these shoes and make them fit Take this shirt Polyester white trash made in nowhere Take this shirt and make it clean, clean Take this soul Stranded in some skin and bones Take this soul and make it sing, sing” It was a good … More spiritual uplift
There can be days, weeks even when I don’t hear a peep about a job that I’ve applied for. I get that. For every job posting, I know that there will be hundreds of people applying. And there’s that computer tracking thing that weeds out most of the applications. This past week was not a … More drink up
I was not in a good one today. As I think I’ve mentioned, I’ve tried to be more social of late and today was a day where no one wanted to come out to play. So, after feeling very ‘kick the puppy’ I put on my big girl pants and went to the library. I … More headspace
paging Pity Party, Table for one. I have been so engrossed in this job hunting bullshit that I’ve forgotten to be social. So I’m trying to at least have lunch on my off days with friends who are available. This week, no one. Two people have blown me off and another got all wishy washy. … More white courtesy phone
