Fucking Hell.

Friday my computer got all fucked up, something apparently got corrupted in Windows XP forcing me to re-install Windows and lose everything that was on my main hard drive. Fortunately I had a friend who was kind enough to come up from Warren, Ohio and help me re-install Windows from one of his disks. See, I bought my computer second-hand and I didn't...

A bit of an update:

I got a call earlier from Ohio Savings Bank, and they decided not to hire me for the bank teller position. However, one of my friends did e-mail me a posting for a job opening downtown and I have an interview tomorrow at 1:30. Which means the beard, still more stubble than actual growth, has to come off. Oh well....

I haven't heard back from Ohio Savings Bank, and it's been a week and a half since the interview so I'm going to go on the assumption I didn't get the job. Oh well, back to square one.

I've decided to try growing a full beard. I'll probably shave it off eventually, since having some Cherokee and Comanche in me I've never really been able...

Thursday I had a job interview with Ohio Savings Bank. They said they may have a teller position open for me at one of their branch offices, and I should hear back in a couple of days. A friend who works for them had referred me to the company, which I certainly am grateful for. Let's hope this one pans out.

Just a bit of an update on the job hunt.

Yesterday I attended a resume workshop and really cleaned up my resume. It's now down to one page, and is in a form prospective employers won't automatically trash. A friend of mine who works for Ohio Savings Bank sent it in to HR for two job openings, both of which start off at pretty decent...

I am bored. And depressed. I got a call today from the HR director at the county, where I applied for an account clerk position. My name did not make it onto the short list of people to be contacted for interviews.

After months of waiting, my chances of gainful employment in the public sector are now doomed. Oh well. Back to Square One.

On...

Just wanted to wish everyone on SG good health on this Memorial Day, and to ask for a prayer for our soldiers currently engaged in war.

This morning I took the test to determine if the county of Cuyahoga will employ me or not. It involved three categories: reading comprehension, typing, and math.

The first two categories I think I did well enough in; the math portion I'm not so sure, and that's what has me worried. See, I was never good at mathematics beyond arithmetic and complex problems always gave...

This week I received a call from HR at the county Board of Commissioners about the application I put in. On the 17th (next Wednesday) I go in for testing and filling out paperwork.

The paperwork I understand, the testing...well, I understand where they're coming from but I'm not sure if I agree with it or not. I mean, yeah I suppose wanting people who...
