If the job you are advertising has specific requirements, like knowledge of a specific set of computer skills, it helps if you put this in the bloody ad!

I just called the people I had an interview with to get the address. While talking with the guy, he said he wanted to "double check" a few things, and started asking me all these bloody technical questions! Let me be clear. Nowhere in my resume or cover letter did I claim anything more than the ability to operate a computer and the ability to learn. I never claimed to be any sort of techie. But to hear this guy talk, I had told them I was a programmer!

After a few minutes of this, he told me that I didn't meet the specifications for the job. I lost my cool, and told him that the reason I applied for the job was because their ad made no mention of technical requirements. If they want specific skills, mention it!

Grrr....

The events of this morning turned my stomach into knots with stress. Then I walked down to OfficeMax to send [livejournal.com profile] murbin his freshly-autographed Traveller books. In al;ready 90-degree heat.

I now feel like crap. And I forget to get quarters to do laundry. Like hell am I going out again today.

CNN is doing a retrospective of Pete Sampras' career. They are showing his old footage in black and white, with artificial aging. The guy only played about 14 years. Can we please stop with the fake nostalgia?

Melt.

It's 100 degrees.

I'm out of soda.

At least there's a breeze.
