It doesn't pay super well, but who cares? It's got medical insurance,
and
it's almost all M-F day shift. At the church, I worked 48 weekends a
year.

I started to apply for a job couple days ago online. There were
preliminary questions. Like: Are you willing to smile at customers?

It continued on with other inane questions. Like, would you be happy to
work beyond your scheduled hours if asked. It literally asked if you
would be happy to do so.

I just got home from the grocery store. I was chit chatting with the
cashier when I noticed that she just had a rather blankish look on her face.
Like maybe she wasn't happy. Maybe she was thinking of something else.
Maybe I should just shut up because clearly she wasn't listening to me.
Turns out she was deep in thought about what I said. She had given me
credit for the four shopping bags I had brought in. I then said that I
likely wouldn't need all those bags but as she could see, I had come in for
just 5 things and gotten quite a lot more. I would rather have more bags
than not enough. She was then trying to figure out which 5 things I had
come for. And she got them right but... A little smile would have been
nice!

I filled out a job application for a clothing manufacturer on Cape Cod when
we lived there. That would have been probably 20 years ago. Asked me what
religion I was, what my ethnic background was and also what clubs I belonged
to. I couldn't believe it! All that was illegal to ask and yet they did!

Congrats to whoever got the new job. Working is how I got my start. Hang in there. Target got busted for asking job applicants if they believed in Jesus and did they think He was coming back. They refused to hire folks who answered yes. Paid out some money on a lawsuit to settle it.
