We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: Re: I'm beginning to suspect I'm unemployable Author: Angh [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:20:34 08/08/03 Fri In reply to: Willie 's message, "Re: I'm beginning to suspect I'm unemployable" on 02:24:18 08/07/03 Thu >This morning I applied for a job with a Rosary Beads >manufacturer.

It went well until they decided I'd make a garden hose winder, on the machine that stood ominously in front of the extruder where the garden hose was spit out for processing. The winder was foot pedal operated, and if one forgot to let off the pedal upon completion of the wind, one would be launched over the top of the machine. I didn't get bucked off the machine, but it DID bang my wrist hard enough to make my hand swell like a Michelin Man. I was sent home and never went back. Now, counting Rosary beads might be something I could do. I had a temp gig once, counting syringe needles...100 to a packet. That was easy enough, and I was fast enough counting that I could do it twice to autocheck myself without them noticing.

Writing to spec would be an awful thing, like an endless Comp 104 class. I'd rather the ispiration hit you because you care deeply about something enough to put it out there. So...will stop nagging about your writing. *S* [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
