Job hunting, applications and interviews just sucks a big one. Some interactions go well, others are neutral and others? ha, lotsa luck, Clyde.

The type of work I do requires, if not outright bank wear, good slacks, hose, and the whole malarkey. Since I didn't want to spend the $65 to get the a.c. in my car recharged and it's 90 degrees with full sun and high humidity, by the time I got done fiddling with things I was feeling ill and dizzy. Tan khakis, knee highs, dress shoes, dress shirt, earrings, makeup, hair done and all and sundry were wilting like a flower in the desert.

One place I went, the person was wearing a tank-type thing with her boobs almost falling out, sandals and capris. Another place the lady was very pregnant, had on capris and a peasant blouse. I must be old-fashioned or something but I can't seem to get past wearing capris to work in an office.

I am really hoping to get a driving job so I don't have to do the whole dry-cleaning, ironing, makeup and so forth. Not again,please? Did my nails this morning, makeup an the whole bit. Now I remember why I hate it so much.

Finding good slacks that fit properly is a real pain in the behind, too. I can go from a size 14 at 8 am to a size 16 by 3. Don't know why but I suppose it has something to do with the Big M. Elastic waists don't work at all well. If the slacks are long enough, they are likely to look similar to jodhpurs. You know, all ballony around the butt and hips. I don't feel comfortable going around looking like the Dutch Boy paint kid.

People seem to want secretary-type people. I can type, yeah, use a 10-key and all but that isn't what I've done. If someone tests me on typing speed and accuracy, well... *sigh*

Maybe I will just keep trying to find a suitable telecommuting job.
