Job fairs are a mixed blessing. ...who am I kidding? I hated today!

Well, there are certain job fairs I hate, because somehow it's stuffy and the fair people (both the job seekers and the ones offering the jobs) are depressing me and making me feel like shit. Some are better. This one was of the ones that make my skin crawl.

Also, I'm starting to notice that if you go together with someone to a fair like this, rules are pretty much the same as going to a group blind date: only bring someone who's less pretty than you. Literally and figuratively speaking.

I mean sure, I can suffer through a guy ignoring me in favor of flirting with my friend, but it's frikkin annoying. Course the flirting doesn't matter, after all he is just a random guy out on the job fair and he is not the one who will be handling my application, but hell, it pisses me off like hell! I hate to be ignored and shrugged off, bite me. Who wouldn't be? But no thanks, I wouldn't want the flirting. He was fugly and made my skin crawl like crazy. Eugh.

And yes, I can understand why she's not shrugging him off, but why would my friend ask me to smile when this bloke has clearly no interest in me - and I feel like puking when I encounter a guy like this? Sure I could grin like a maniac, but that would lower my chances of getting a job. I'm sure he would remember a woman grinning like a maniac who only needs a butcher knife to turn into Dexter. So fuck this.

I guess I'm through with whining. I do realize you have to sell yourself, although I'm not sure why lying would help. But then again, anything goes.

Whatever. I've found a few places I am willing to send my applications in, and some I do NOT. Never say never, true, but as long as I have other options, no thanks.

So. Today's haul: vodafone mouse pad, phone hanger, key chain, a bunch of pens (one sparkly as in you hit it and light sparkles inside for half a minute or so, two pens with joysticky clicky parts, rest are simple ones) a beer opener (Becks) another key chain (also Becks), a magnetic bookmark, a box of play cards... I think this was all.

Yay me?

All I really want is a job, you know. But the sparkly and joysticky pens are kinda cool. ^^
