The job search sloweth

No word about the alleged 4th interview from that agency, and no words from anyone else, either. It got so bad that I applied for a job in Schaumburg, the rootin'est, tootin'est, gun-totin'est suburb in the West. Or so I heard; but it looks like Silver Spring to me. Its motto is "Progress Through Thoughtful Planning" and it is home to the largest IKEA outside of Sweden.

My friend Connie's friend had so many unsuccessful job interviews that at her 20th interview, she presented the interviewer with a box of home-baked cookies in order to recognize him for his accomplishment.

There was an ad in the paper that read: PUBLIC RELATIONS - Great pay & you meet lots of Celebrities. Must have own vehicle. Long hours. For info 775-338-2021. Area code is 775.

I called it up just to see what the hell it was. I got this guy on an answering machine talking about how he needs someone to be his book keeping assistant, working long hours at home on their computer. Yes, lots of computer work. Occasionally you may have to drive out to his Personal Residence. But mostly computer work. The pay is $7.50 an hour and (dramatic pause) there's room for advancement, once he's decided the person's going to work out, etc. If you want the job, all you have to do is interview on March 3. If not, don't leave a message.

I'm busy on March 3, so I guess I missed my chance vis-a-vis the computer work. I wish he'd talked more about the Celebrities.
