Just a note...

I've been meaning to say this for a while, and since I'm feeling somewhat tetchy tonight, but just in a general way, I will just post it now.

Dear Everyone Who Told Me That the Name on My Diploma Would Get Me a Job, So I Shouldn't Worry,

Two words, guys. Screw. You. (Not that I believed you in the first place, but now I have four months of proof, and an e-mail that tells me I'm not even qualified for data entry provided it's in a nice building and downtown.)

That is all.

Bitter at every last person who uttered or implied that,

P.S. Now that that's off my back, I'd like the detective agency job, or the preschool job. Either of those would be cool.

if you get an interview at the detective place, can you please please wear a tweed coat? and a deerstalker hat??
AND A PIPE!

seriously. that might get you the job.
or it might sabotage it completely. i'm not sure.

i wish one could count on one's interviewers having a sense of humour.

That would be awesome. Though I'm not sure how I could wear a pipe. (-;

And interviewers seem to make it their goal not to have the least sense of humor. I'm actually surprised I was invited in for an actual interview after I told one of them that if they asked my friends to sum me up in one word, it would probably be "ninja". And it's not even like that wasn't the truth. Because they would. But I couldn't think of a good lie fast enough.
