My Laptop Blew Up

I know. I know. I haven't written
in over a month, but the powerpack on
my laptop shorted out and I don't have
access. I bought two new powerpacks (one from
BestBuy that didn't work and one from
Radio Shack that didn't work), but my
laptop is obsolete cause I bought it almost
two years ago, ergo no powerpacks on the
market for the damn thing. I have to go
directly to DELL for a powerpack, but I haven't
so now I am working on desktop.

I bet there was some run on sentences in
there somewhere.

Still on the job quest...I've applied for 15....15..yes 15 jobs...
in the last month...thats 15...and I can't even get an interview.

I believe this online resume/application process is way too limiting.

Or they see WHEN I graduated from college and automatically hit DELETE.

Its not like I am applying for CEO, CFO, or Director of the CDC or Operations
VP at NASA. I apply for a smidgeon above menial like Assistant or Coordinator
or low girl on the totem pole or entry level manager, editor, proofreader.

I follow up and follow up and follow up nicely mind you. I'm not a bitch.
I JUST WANT TO WORK and I didn't spend all that time getting an education
to work at the movie theater.

I guess its me...the common denominator here is ME.

I need to hit the decompress button. I got denied yet another job today.
I put in for a proofreader position and the requirements are 1+ yrs of proofreading experience and a degree in English.

I got the big middle finger...although the ad reads 1+yrs of experience..I got shot down with
the "well, we really want someone with two yrs experience." I have 1 yr 11 mos. experience.

What is up with that?
