My Sincere Apologies to the Human Resources Department

Miss Misc here and I've recently gone undercover as a "temp" to investigate what really goes on in the HR department of a large university.

What I saw was terrifying. My extremely intelligent friends/guest bloggers are always talking about how fucking retarded people are in general, but I had a first hand look at it today. It seems that we take for granted common sense. You wouldn't believe some of the phone calls and e-mails I had to answer.

Example:

"Can you please send me back a detailed list of what you didn't like about my resume and why I didn't get a call back?"...ummm, no.

"I keep applying and applying and you guys won't hire me!"...yo fault.

"Can you tell me what the requirements are to work there?"...sigh, well sir, requirements differ for the 597 jobs currently posted.

"Here's my resume. Can you match me up with the jobs I'm qualified for and send me the list?"...delete button.

"Your site is difficult to navigate. You must not want people to apply." Hey asshole, thanks for the unsolicited opinion, I'll be sure to add you to our "do not call" list.

It was truly fascinating to work there for a day and to observe the true origin of the word miscellaneousness.

My undercover assignment ends tomorrow but I will attempt to provide you all with a full report.

Miss Misc, over and out..............(bitches...heheheheh)

Asshole of the Day

Hip Hop Dance Instructors with No Rhythm

Because it's -15 degrees outside I'm depending on Comcast to provide me with my daily workout. Unfortunately, they are allowing anyone off the street to appear on Exercise TV.

Listen asshole, if you're going to promote yourself as "hip hop (fill-in the body part)" or use the word booty in your workout title, I expect you to have an iota of rhythm in your body. Watching you dance offbeat is making me dizzy.

Unemployment: The Final Frontier

I regret to inform you that I am absolutely not enjoying my unemployment thus far. In fact, I have only averaged about 1/2 hour more sleep per day. It takes more energy to pursue jobs you want than to sit behind a desk at a job you don't want IM'ing your friends...I mean working hard.

However, I have been able to observe things I have not been privy to the last 12 years that I've been a working woman.

Things I have discovered:

--Lots of people don't work during the day
--Apparently going to the gym at 3pm is popular
--Old people like to hang out at the post office
--There's always traffic
--"Cheaters" comes on twice a day, making it to me, more watched than Oprah
