Surprise Job

Well I'm back in Herndon. I must say I'm surprised at how fast I settled back in. Missing college, I thought I would be restless. But I'm just chillin. Well... not exactly. My mom and I went everywhere yesterday just applying for jobs and applying for jobs online. Some of these applications (especially the online ones) are absolutely crazy! One I did on a computer at the Home Depot asked me to alphabetize a bunch of stuff. And THEN you get the ones that have like 20 pages of questions with multiple questions on each page asking you to pick things from "Strongly agree" to "strongly disagree". Some of the questions were so wack and out of control almost to the point of ridiculousness. Its like... you know I'm just trying to be a fucking cashier right!?! But somehow they make it rocket science. :P

I was surprised how many jobs we hit though. If we get nothing back, my mom and I will try RTC and the mall next. Another weird thing about the jobs I applied for is that like 3/4's of them require drug tests to join if accepted. I don't have anything to worry about, but somehow that just seems like a really weird/awkward invasion of my privacy. Like walking into Home Depot so I can pee in a cup lol... just seems wack to me. It also seems pointless. Who in there right mind is just gonna roll into work on crack? lmao but I guess you do get weirdos.  

Other things of note: One of the managers at Bed Bath and Beyond looked like a total molester of some sort so I'm glad he told me they hadn't hired someone in the last 3 months(isn't that crazy? not good if its like that everywhere!). The other is that some dude that worked at home depot asked my mom "who she was" to me because he and a few other employees thought she was my hot girlfriend. LOL. Hopefully you guys have more luck with your summer job finding!

Nice Mrs. Hulme. Nice.

Yeah I hate the agree/disagree ones. It's like taking a personality test online and a lot of the questions are the same but phrased differently. You should totally work at Victoria Secret's and do a fake British accent. They hire TONS of people with accents. Plus it's like how I applied at the Men's Warehouse, it's good to have the opposite gender's opinion. LOL Do it for laughs, that's how I got my job offers.
