The sick and the tired

Outside the Bourse building today, I heard many people complaining about their jobs. No one appears to be happy, even if they are employed. I kept hearing, "he/she has one more time...I can't stand this or that, and can you believe that." Apparently employers don't mind if there employees are content, because this security officer in the Bourse Bldg was quite loud and unprofessional on the job. What ever happened to employee training, servcing the customer and all of that crap. What a miserable lot the American worker appears to be. I heard one women murmuring about "not having to take this." Is anyone happily employed?

Tattoos, the mark of "success" or just a mess?

Did you see Donald Trump on Letterman? He made a statement that I wished many more people would have heard. He hates tattoos. Now if "the" Donald hates tattoos and he is the standard of success in this society, according to most, than I wish some of these followers would follow his lead and stop getting them. Why is everyone, both young and old getting tattoos? When did this rush of scarring the skin become so popular? Did you know that if you get a tattoo, then you can no longer give blood. If tattooing is so safe, then why are you excluded as a blood donor? You can be infected with Hepetitis C, not only from dirty needles, but dirty ink as well. You have no clue as to if that needle is clean or if the dye is clean. (especially that dye) Most tattoo "artists" have a certain look, and it isn't one of cleanliness. Do you think they really dispose of ink after every client? What is wrong with these older people getting these tattoos? Do you really think these colored brandings on your skin look nice? Tattoos make you look very base, cheap and low class. But don't take my word for it, ask Donald Trump.

Help wanted

I'm so tired of interviewing for jobs. I went on two interviews today before 12:00. I have another interview tomorrow and yet another on Wednesday. I am sick and tired of interviewing! Is anyone HIRING? Why are these organizations taking me through the motions? Is it for compliance with the EOC or what? What is the problem? Everyone who I've been speaking to has the same complaint. No one is hiring. The school district has over 1000 applicants to fill 80 positions. If there is such a shortage, hire more teachers. If you have the need as you claim, then increase the number of those that you will hire, because you most definitely have the applicant pool. I was at the school district on Saturday from 9-3, all day long just to get a job! There was about 100 people there on that one day, but the all day interview process is going to continue until the end of the month. People want to work, people claim to need workers, but no one is getting hired, I don't get it!
