Today was pretty busy.

First Seth had an interview at 8am this morning, which lasted about two hours.  And all it was for was yet another of those cock-n-bull pyramid schemes.  In hindsight, it should have been a red flag that the guy wanted to interview him at a nearby Starbucks.

Then, not long after he came home from that, we headed over to a place that was looking for a receptionist.  I knew I was more than qualified and do have a pleasant personal/phone voice (if I do say so myself…and I do!!), so I wanted to apply.  As it turns out, it was at a large Mercedes Benz dealership.  I walked in, introduced myself to the lady whom I was supposed to see, she looked me up and down, then said in a very smarmy tone, “The position was filled yesterday.”  Never mind the ad for this position appeared for the first time in the paper YESTERDAY!!!  It was all-too obvious this bitch was using the old tired way of avoiding a reverse discrimination lawsuit because she’s one who thinks only women can/should be receptionists.

That’s not paranoia, folks…this woman had the look on her face and the tone of voice that made her disdain for my testicular fortitude of even thinking I should waste her airspace quite apparent.  I’ll bet her vagina is as rough as sandpaper.

I thanked her for the 2 1/2 seconds of her precious time she’d wasted and scuttled out the door while 2 or 3 salesmen were snickering with her.

Fucking assholes.

That (and the fact that I’ll never be able to afford one) is precisely the reason I’d never own one of their shitty cars.

Anyway…

So then we drive about 11 miles north to a nearby town that is looking for an administrative assistant.  I go in, hand her my resume and she asks me to fill out an application.  Interview to follow…

…that is…

…if they fail to notice that I put 08/03/08 where I was supposed to write in the date.  What the hell was I thinking??  Probably still reeling from the shame at the Mercedes place.  That bitch!!

Next we drove to a storage place (this chain seems to be all over town) that was looking for an office manager.  I, again, handed over resume, filled out application and thanked them for their time.  While I was filling out the application, I noticed the lady went out to her car to get her lunch, which turned out to be a salad that smelled like rotting fish stuffed in a dead horse that choked on a festering oyster.  Guess what…her car was a fucking Mercedes.

Just in time after that, we decided to stop for some lunch at Subway.  In the parking lot, guess what kind of car I was cut off by…?

So we came home with just enough time for Seth to get ready for his second interview of the day.  Also, I needed to poop.

This interview was with one of the local TV stations.  He’d applied with this place weeks ago, filling out their application, then faxing that and his resume, and then mailing a hard copy of each to them (just for added measure).  He was shown around, had things pointed out, interviewed and then handed a form for him to go to some other location to get a urinalysis.  He feels pretty confident about this place, so I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Oh, and I was going to add some uber-funny pictures on here to sort of punctuate several paragraphs, however, fucking PhotoBucket appears to be as worthless as that bitch I mentioned above.

I’ll bet the asshole owner of that website owns a Mercedes.
