Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Not for a career, but for the discounts ...

I started an online app for Best Buy (or what I throughout my blogs and hereafter will refer Worst Buy or WB for the markup is ridiculous -- oil baronesque). I started the form and they give you a reference ID like for taxes, in case there is a fault somewhere in the process. I thought, okay, whatever. I stopped at page, 50 (or 500 for all I know). It is the worst piece of crap interface I have ever, bar none, ever used. It is almost one window (tab) per page. I'll go back to it soon, but thought if I ever do get hired, I could get some sweet discounts. I'd use it as a weekend/evening job.

I'd be the 40 year-old, non-virgin working at an electronics store. I don't have a fixation on a woman who dumped me, nor an "agreement" with my fiance'/girlfriend, nor am I as crass as an ass, so I guess I am Jack. I saw no female management, so I'd be scared if I was approached as a ***k buddy.

It's just a thought. I'm sure some of you might bump into me thinking, hey ... "What would YOUpay for a 50" plasma TV" or something like that. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge ... know what I mean?

Say no more!

How to scare someone without really trying

On some jobs board, there was a listing for "assisting with young female with disabilities". I called the number and I think the woman about crapped right there. Stammering for a way, she implied that she was, uh ... looking for, um, female ... I have like it narrowed down to a few people.
(Me) So, you have a short list. [here I was trying to give her a graceful out]
Yes, that's right.
(Me) Okay then. Thanks.

It later reminded me of Goldie's comment, "Kayla. You don't have to be afraid. [my name] likes little girls." This, of course, left everyone laughing, sweet Goldie didn't first put it together. "Oh! I didn't mean like that!"
