We’ll call you either way

How many times have I heard that so far in the job hunt. Well, I heard it one more time today. So far, nothing have I heard form those that said it. The only thing I can say for sure is that I do know how to get an interview. We’ll call you either way says to me that if I get the job you will call me and if I don’t get the job you will call me. So far no calls even from those that said it would take a while and it has been a while. So I will move on.

It was cold and rainy in Tucson, this morning but the sun came out this afternoon. This evening it was raining cats and dogs and snowing on Mt. Lemmon.

I am getting a little anxious again due to the lack of success in getting a job. But I did get another interview scheduled for next week.

It looks kind of funny when I go shopping because there are all these Christmas decorations but no snow and no freezing cold only mildly cold.

I took a test for the City of Tucson this morning. 75 minutes. No one has finished it. Instructions were to bring in two number 2 pencils, a calculator and a copy of the email they sent us. Further instructions said that if we were late we would be locked out and unable to take the test. 230 people applied and 180 me the minimum requirements. The test is graded on a curve. Are you kidding me? A curve? Curve hmmmm that means if people did well then they won’t be calling me for the third part of the job process ( the oral). If people didn’t do well then they will call me. ‘Course I really could have screwed up big time though. 132 questions. A few story problems, some adding and subtracting, some comparing of several adding and subtractions, some numerical and alphabetical filing. Then near the end some questions after reading several paragraphs three times. Then the final questions were tables and information and comparing those tables and info and also some proofreading of numbers and letters. If we pass (they’ll let us know if we did) our score stays in the system for  months to be applied to vacant positions. Next time I will know what to expect for the test. Other instructions warned us that parking costs money downtown Tucson and to be prepared accordingly. I paid three dollars by the time I got back to my car.

So Bad Bart is bleeding money, as no new money is coming in, how long will it take Bad Bart to have no more money to bleed? Then if that weren’t enough to worry about the ex husband will just ruin things for me anyway. Because when I go get a job he will call them up and say stuff and then I will get fired. That is the negative part but the positive part will be for me to move only this time I will be more careful. I will change car insurance companies, and I will change car repair companies plus I will NOT put my info on any Internet job boards. Then I will not register to vote. I may even give up my car so that I can’t be traced that way either. Maybe I can get some fake ID. Change my name. Change my age and birthdate and so on and so forth. Dye my hair, lose weight and so on and so forth.
