Rocky

A big part of me thinks it would be neat as hell working for Rocky Walton. What a fantastic name and wow if that building doesn't look Rocky Mountain impressive.

Biggest Pet Peeve of All

When I ask how much the position pays, at least give me a fucking range so I know whether or not it's worth wasting my time.

In most cases I have to drive alllllll the way out to your location, give myself a hand cramp filling out your application even though alllllll of that information is already on my carefully prepared and printed out resume, set up a time to come BACK to your location at a later date and make the trip all over again because you are inconsiderate of the fact that I'm already in person in your lobby at the time that I fill out that application, and put myself through the rigors of getting dressed up and prepared for a demeaning interview just to find out that you are paying $.02 more than minimum wage which I can make just by working at the gas station two feet from my apartment.

Don't Fucking Waste My Time.

I know that the final wage will be determined upon hiring, but if I get the impression that you aren't going to pay enough then just answer my question. I usually don't ask unless I have that gut feeling that it won't be enough. Give me a range that you would be happy paying me and I can decide if you deserve my time and not vice versa.

Yes, definitely the BIGGEST PET PEEVE OF ALL when it comes to job hunting.

EDIT: They're lucky they look like a sizable company and might actually pay decently. I think I'll still go through the crap to apply with them, but I really do hate going this route. At least I have contact information instead of just faxing a resume and never hearing from the potential job at all.

Hm

I can't decide if I'd actually like a black acid wash cowhide rug or not. I think I'd have to see it and feel it and decide if it's roll-around-on-able or not to make up my mind. I do think that it being genuine cowhide would help with certain issues facing normal rugs though.

EDIT: WTF - leather shag

One thing marked off my to-do list

If there is one absolutely fantastic thing about my previously working with the YMCA it would have to be their benefits. If I had children, their childcare and camps and programs are dirt cheap. I know that I paid less than most friends I've compared with regarding health insurance. I subsidized a year an a half of full-time school and research on my previously accrued retirement account that was completely and totally free to me.

I will soon have the accrued retirement funds from this last stint working with the YMCA and will be set for about the next 6 months. Not having to worry about bills during that time due to unemployment issues: priceless.

Cold enough to eat Mexicans

I'm cold, hungry and craving Don Pablos (or Mexican Inn, etc) and no one to go with me.

Someone want to go with me to eat Mexican?
