The interview seemed to go fairly well. He says that he'll get back to me in a couple of days. The problem is that he says that he's never hired a male tarot reader before, and he's not sure if people would be as comfortable talking to a male tarot reader. He asked me if I had ever seen another man that did tarot. (which, of course, I've seen

Oh for goodness, sakes! So all these people saw Coyote Ugly and not that movie where Tom Cruise was the Bartender God? Ijitis.

And, um, isn't it like not legal to tell someone you won't hire them on the basis of their gender? Hm?

Wow, that's gender discrimination in black and white (says the girl who does employment law for a living).

Who cares who is doing the tarot reading? Is he afraid you won't be able to wear funky scarves and beaded skirts, to fit into even more stereotypes of tarot card readers? Personally, I would be comfortable talking to either.

Yeah, but I doubt I'll be able to do anyhting about it. Bars usually get by it by referring ot wanting a "happy hour bartender" which is their way of saying "female only." Or they will put up a sign that says "barmaid wanted, male or female" as a way of telling males not to bother.

ANd if I did, with my luck, I'd end up being made a right-wing cause celebre, which would annoy me, and blow up in thier faces once they found out how far left I am. I feel bad even being annoyed about it.

I probably look pretty much like a stereotypical tarot reader anyway. . .maybe a little more metal than psychedelic, but I got the hair and the John Lennon glasses, and I do own some tie-dye. . . :-) Oh well.
