Chronicles of an Unemployed Girl

O, how the mighty have fallen. O tempora, o mores.

I just got back from my interview and... *shudder* Let me describe the situation to you.

I walked in the door, dressed professionally as requested (which, I'm sorry, but it's probably a bad sign if you actually have to remind people that it's inappropriate to waltz in wearing jeans and a

:| That's like when my sister interned at the American Cancer Society, everything was pepto bismal pink. ugh. But she was so unimpressed by everything that she seriously was like.... fuck cancer.

It's totally tragic isn't it... when you have to deal with the devil in order to do a teensy weensy bit of good.

Oh lady...

[prophet_of_wit]

That's icky. You should totally tell DUMB you'll only accept a position if you can have his job. I'd be happy to paint the walls for them at a ghastly overpriced rate, you should mention something to them...

I'm going to die tonight, FYI. <-- teh emo kid haves a flavor

No dying. Sorry you had a headache, but I hope the grilled cheese was yummy.

Jigga whaaaa?! that's a real classy place. THe worst part is, sometimes we know we're a thousand times better then the jobs we take/apply for.

*loves on you*

[virtuistic]

NEEEEEEEEEENEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ♥! I have meeeeeessed you!

Sounds like a tour through hell. Forget them, bills may need to be paid but not at the expense of your soul. Maybe in the future you can mail them some paint swatches and redecorating tips.

[virtuistic]

Hahaha, that would be rich, wouldn't it? I could also send them print-outs of their website and publications with all the grammatical corrections on it.

Maybe with a giant post-it saying: THIS IS WHY I CAN NOT, AND WILL NOT, WORK FOR YOU PEOPLE.

G'luck, I need to hear a success story.
