Another Interview

I have an interview tomorrow with Kolcraft, you know, the baby accessory folks, I applied to an opening they have as a forklift operator. It's no dream job by any means, the pay is kind of crappy, but I do have plenty of experience though. Most likely I will accept it if they offer it to me because I really need something and soon, but I plan on telling them I can't start until next week so I can give Unilever until the end of the week since I am supposed to hear from them this week.  I'm tired of sitting around here waiting for the phone to ring feeling useless.

Hello...

Still on the hunt for a job, I should be hearing from Unilever sometime this week, so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Here's a cowboy joke.

 

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Western Oklahoma.

He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded
staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.

After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy
bravely asks the old cowpoke, 'If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?'

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best Okie manner says, 'Nah, go ahead.'

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight.

He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili.

The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chili into the bowl.

The old cowboy quietly says, 'Yep, that's as far as I got, too'.

Yay...

I just got off of the phone with the Unilever job recruiter, and I am scheduled for preliminary testing tomorrow morning at 8:00am.  There will be four tests to take, and I have 45 minutes to complete each test, and calculators are permitted.  I am so going to ace this shit.  So everyone wish/pray for me, because we really need this to happen.

Still Jobless, but...

I got a call last night from a job recruiter at Unilever, which if you don't know make alot of the things you and I use everyday from foods to household type products.  Anyway, I applied for a few jobs Monday at their Raeford plant which is about 45 minutes away from where I am, and I got a call back almost immediately Monday, and the recruiter after asking me a few questions determined I wasn't the right candidate for the job.  That's ok, I still had others to go for.  So last night after I got home from picking the kids up and going to Taco Bell for dinner, there was a message on the machine from a recruiter asking if I was still interested in a particular position, of course I am, I called him back, but all I got was his voice mail.  I will try again on Monday, and hopefully I will get an interview that will lead to a position with Unilever.

AAARRRRGGGGGG

What the hell is wrong with companies these days?  I called my ISP, which is a local company, with a problem.  My connection keeps dropping at least once a day while I am either gaming or browsing the Internet.  So I called my ISP, which again is a local company, and after 5 minutes of surfing the menus I get someone to help me.  And who do I get?  Some person from India who can't speak English for shit.  I hate asking someone repeatedly what they just said.   I also hate explaining to someone a problem, and all they do to help me is read from a fucking script.  Just send someone over to fix my damn problem if all you can do is tell me to unplug my modem, after I just told you that I did that, and rebooted my computer.  No wonder I can't find a job.
