I so often wonder how other people get jobs. I swear I talk to at least one severely incompetent person a day. Most recently it’s been mainly recruiters that are trying to get me to sign on with them. One actually offered me one wage then retracted it and lowered it because she found out what a competitor was offering. (Keep in mind that I am talking about contracting companies here) Another 2 actually tried to get me to sign on for positions that aren’t even in my area, and we are talking like 200 miles away here, not just like you know 30 min or an hour commute every day. I’m pretty confused by cases such as this seeing as I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack but I would like to think I’m smarter than that, and yet I can’t even get one stinkin interview. I’ll admit maybe I’m being a little impatient but I hate being dependant on someone. I want to make my own money, contribute my portion, pull my own weight, I’m sure you get the idea. Anyway enough for now.
In case you’re wondering manhole covers are round because if they were square they would fall throug the whole if you tipped them diagonally.
Why do interviews suck so bad? I hate going to them and I hate their dumb questions. If this happened and then this happened with these people how would you handle the situation? What are your 3 weaknessess? 3 strenghtshs? Describe a time when… Why are manholes round?
Why do people assume they know how you feel or what you’re thinking. I wish they would either take the time to figure out what’s up leave it be.
Why do people act sincere when their not? If you don’t care, why force it?
Why don’t people just say what they mean?
Why can’t people ever just be happy with what they have? Why do we always want more?
I saw this statement/question on someones msn messenger name thingy, (Kirsty thanks for the idea to write this wonderful blog post!) It said, “How well do you really know anyone?”
What a good question. I mean seriously, I’m sure she did not intend to have that quote analyzed, but I can’t help it, especially lately. I’ve just moved to a new state and I am in the process of meeting new people, making new friends. Even people I’ve known for years are showing sides of them I never saw until recently.

Guys are soooo full of crap. It doesn’t matter how good you think you know them. Take me for instance. I have been dating this guy for a year next week. In my opinion I compromised on one thing in particular. Friends. Guy friends to be more specific. I realize that 99% of dudes just want to get in your pants but they are so much more not complicated than women to hang out with. They don’t get catty, they don’t backstab, they always tell you the truth (that skirt makes you look fat where chicks are like oh it’s soooo cute, the reason being chicks are out to sabatoge their “competition”). Not to mention guys are generally more fun to hang out with. It’s much easier to get rid of the creeps when you have a few “bodyguards” so to speak.
