Last night I was up crazy late for no reason at all. It’s always been difficult to go to bed before Kevin gets home so maybe I hoped he’d come in late but he spent the night at Sherando Lake, the lucky bastard.
I got back from the aforementioned bike ride a little before midnight, got a shower and just started internetting. For years I’ve been checking into JetBlue.com to see if they were hiring for in-flight, ignoring the make-a-profile part of the application thinking, “when they’re hiring, I’ll make a profile.” This, of course was stupid. They will never post for in-flight because there are plenty of applicants steadily submitting profiles.
So I started filing it out. It was the middle of the night, I wasn’t thinking much beyond, “well I’ll just do part and come back to it later.” This too was dumb because do I really want to leave a partial application in there? Also, I spooked myself because I became suddenly convinced I would have a very competitive application on file. Having done the job before is a considerable edge but now I’m “educated” and when I got to the area that suggests I upload some attachments, I thought, “damn, I should put some illustrations in there.” Jet Blue is not like other airlines. They’re quirky. They would dig my spunk. At least that’s the way it seemed at 2AM. I realized I was putting myself in that same position of March 2000 when I applied on a lark because it was supposed to be impossible to get in then they wanted me to move to Atlanta and start in 10 days. Whoa. Deleted the whole profile. Damn, I was doing good too. I need to think about this some more and make sure I’m ready this time. Though being carried by a breeze was fun too.
