Dear Company Who's Name I Shall Not Mention,

You provide a wonderful email service, alerting me when jobs are available at your organization. It is delightful. I don't have to do any of the work, I just have to open the email.

You know what is not delightful? When I get the same email, with the same position available, that I have applied for 5 times, for which you have not called me for an interview once. Clearly you have yet to fill this position but apparently my spectacular-ness is not good enough for even an interview?

You my friends, are a bunch of idiots.

Love,

Kristen

This Is A Post About Literally Nothing. Literally. Nothing.

I've been itching for something to write about for the last few days. Just really, really have had the urge. (That's the point of a blog right? That and the self-indulgence of it all; I know.) Turns out there is no way to turn the following things into witty, hilarious stories:

1. Bowling a 53. Yeah, it happened.
2. Training on a treadmill in your basement for your half-marathon. Really, it's just watching DVD's in motion. (Just traded 2 seasons of The Office for my friend JK's first 2 seasons of Dawson's Creek. It's amaaaaaaaazing.) (Like I've said, I expected better stories about this. I thought I was going to be one of those people on The Biggest Loser who just bites it on the treadmill. Seriously, I think my Mom cleans the basement while I run because she fears I might spontaneously combust or something.)
3. Applying to jobs such as electrian, automotive technician, and graphic designer.
4. Menu planning and cooking dinner for you and your Mom like the Pres and Michelle are coming over to break bread.

Seriously, that's my life ever since the running epiphany.

So, I guess I kind of turned that into a story. But, not really.

I'm Totally Gonna Be Famous

In just half a season Glee has become my favorite show on television. I actually cried when they won their Golden Globe. (I have also cried when they show Kim Kardashian at Saints games so I'm not sure references to my tears gives any significant barometer of what my feelings are.) Recently, the producers of Glee announced they will be holding open auditions for amateurs and professionals alike to fill three new roles for the second season.

If this isn't best news I've ever gotten I don't know what is. Clearly, I will be submitting an audition tape. I will be spending the rest of the evening in my bathroom (great acoustics, everyone knows that right?) in my big empty house preparing my vocal selection. See you later Job Hunt '10, I've got it all figured out now.

Also, if anyone knows of a dance instructor in the greater Buffalo area, I'm going to need their name and contact information. Bonus points if this dance instructor gives his or her lessons for free.

Paranormal State + Sex Diaries + Wearing an Awkward Headset = Wait, What?

I read this week's Sex Diary this morning. (I've said it once, I'll say it again. Bitches be crazy.) While watching Paranormal State. (Scary West Virginia Prison!) This was the strangest coming together of interests that has possibly ever occurred. The juxtaposition of a 20 year old not having any sex and people locking themselves in haunted prisons for days at a time is mind boggling. I did all of this while getting ready for a job interview.

By job interview I of course mean computer assessment that takes place between the phone interview and the upcoming panel interview. (While I was waiting for my interviewer in the lobby a woman at the front desk broke into hysterics over what I gathered was a sick father. While I sympathize, even empathize, not the time nor the place sister.) The computer shut down in the middle of the test. So I had to go get the administrator she had to restart the program and I had to start all over again. But before I could start all over the headset (oh, there was a headset) stopped working. So I had to start all over. Again.

I can't decide weather to blame my overly voyeuristic need to look into other people's sex lives or the fact that I spent the morning listening to people talk about Satanism but, I'm pretty sure something here is interconnected, just trying to figure out what it is.

In other Job Hunt 2k10 news: when you type marketing into CareerBuilder, Electrician positions pop up. Is this a step in the right or wrong direction from Automotive Technician?
