Looking for a job...

Anything! I will work any position at any place for any amount of money. I've considered stripping and
McDonald's. Those are on the same level of undesirability to me. It's hell trying to get a job in this market. Whatever came home from the land of sand earlier this month and he hasn't had luck looking either. We do 2-5 applications per day. No kidding. I assumed jobs were not so hard to get in a big area such as Dallas. I have tweaked my resume and cover letter so many times the original no longer looks like a valid form of impressing the employer. I have applied to be a event center greeter. Seriously. I can point folks to the toilet....professionally? I'm that hard up. I've even tried to be the next library shelver at a library 30 miles away. The info section of the job said I had to be 16. I'm scared I'll be beat out by a child. I really do want to work. It's a sad world when you are trying like hell to be gainfully employed and it is a job itself. This would be an appropriate place to say something about the upcoming election...I'm to tired and my break is over. Back to the hunt.

No calls please

I hate cell phones. Having the convenience to call, google, text, Facebook, etc.... is fantastic. It comes at a cost though. People like me that don't like to be called to just talk are stuck with being the asshole friend doesn't answer. I just don't want to talk. I usually am too busy to sit and or stand talking for shits and giggles. Also, I have to go outside to talk. My house gets the worlds worst reception. Even outside is not a foolproof way to stay connected. The calls drop. A lot. I hate to stand outside in the Texas heat by day or being carried off by West Nile infected mosquitos at night. No thanks. Another issue is children. I won't see or hear my kids for hours and as soon as I answer a phone call...chaos. Complete crisis. There is blood, screaming and poop. All at once. Sometimes I try to climb into the phone so I can escape. I no sooner than hang up and it all disappears. It's calm and quiet. It's exactly like after a tornado destroys a town. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. There is just a big ass mess left behind. I can't spank a storm though. At least I have that.
