Being the uber-stay at home dad, I
haven’t really been in the full time work force in ages, much less looked for a
job. Science jobs are all about staying in the pipeline, you just move from
department to another. Now I have to get a resume together, go on interviews,
and fill out applications. What is that all about?
Truth be told, I’d rather stay at
home, but in the interest of sound economics, I may need to generate income, so
into the workforce I may venture. I’ve actually looked into two jobs, both
labor intensive. I contacted the local hotel in WRJ to be a housecleaner, and
if you can believe this, they were fairly rigorous in their scrutiny of my
application. Part of it might be over qualification since I’m not sure how many
college grads apply for the job. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to support our fabulously opulent lifestyles. I spoke with them, but I could tell they had some reservations.
I also applied to a big hotel in
the neighboring town, who had positions galore. I have to confess, I’d rather
work a job that didn’t involve customer service, though I could work with
customers if need be. I prefer to be part of the inner workings, behind the
scenes.
Anyway, I had to tell them I
couldn’t start right away because I was convinced that N had broken his leg.
Even though it turns out that his injury was not as serious as we first
thought, I think it wise to keep an eye on it. They were interested in hiring
me, but I requested that my application be kept open until a month or two when
things became clearer. They were fine with that, though the proof will be in
the pudding if and when I contact them again. We shall see.
All in all, the beginning of this
process has been interesting and informative. I think there are ways to make
more money and I will explore each and every one of them until it all works
out.
Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Tomas Campos01 for the pic.
