This has been a good day

[Elok]

After two bloody years of searching, I am FINALLY employed. It is not a good job. Like most work options available to English majors, it's minimum wage to start. I'm going to be a "Pizza Ambassador" (much like a Subway "sandwich artist") for a pretentious pizzeria. But, whatever. I'm tired of sending in those stupid cover letters and pretending to scan the Jobs section for listings I know I'll never get with my lack of a work history. I will be the most Shakespeare-aware pizza maker they've ever had. I will be more than a Pizza Ambassador; I will be the pizza Henry Kissinger. Only I won't firebomb Cambodia.

I've also had a celebratory strawberry margarita, hence my buoyant attitude, and some chuletas rojas from Plaza Tapatia. Oh, and I got like two dozen DVDs and a bunch of old video games for free today, and I didn't have to defraud any customer service people. Yaaaay!

Make sure you hit on the customers. They like it.

[Lancer]

Linguisa on your pie is the pizza equivalent of firebombing Cambodia.

A job is a job.

They suck but if you need one not having one sucks worse.

Congrats

Though the proper job for an english major is working at a book store. At least back when I was hired at Borders, I swear I was the only non-english major or non-theater major there...

Good for you, Elok.

[Lorizael]

w00t! But I have to agree with snoopy369.

IMO, working for adult stores are the way to go.

[Grandpa Troll]

Congrats Elok

I hope you eventually find your dream job, although, if this is it, then you have arrived

Heh, I worked at Crown books when they still existed and I think my experience was the same. Half the staff were waiting for "the call" from 2nd City.

[SlowwHand]

Excellent. Something always beats nothing. You're not going down this path without reason. It's just unknown to you at this time.

Please, teach me the way.

[Solomwi]

Congrats, Elok.

I finally found a job last month, also after about two years of searching. Great job except for the part where I'm three hours away from my family from Sunday afternoon to Friday night. Fortunately, I get to stay with my parents for free during the week and my wife and stepson are very understanding. I get the feeling that if the dogs could talk, they'd ***** about me being gone so much, though. So I'm with you on the less-than-ideal-job front.

Deliverator beats Pizza Ambassador.
