wakeiseiyoDear potential employment recruiter,
While I appreciate the fact that you bothered to contact me (about a position I have no skills or interest in), however late, this reply --
'you want to apply?
or not???'
-- will not make me like you. Especially since I have been nothing but civil, if not downright polite when asking for prior clarification about the very vague description you provided. Quit sounding like an angry Chinese fishmonger's wife when you email - you just might get better results from the job market.
Not interested,
KB.
=======================================
In other news, I went out to lunch for one of the office worker's birthday. Had a blast despite the preggo-talk that kept going around the table, because while they bitched about watching their diet, etc., they didn't go into gory details like morning sickness or other unpleasant side effects of carrying to term. And thankfully, I wasn't the only unchilded person at the table, either, though probably the only CF one. In fact, the worst part of the experience was really the restaurant's inability to seat us despite calling ahead. (Really, if you say call ahead, we're a party of 6 - not THAT large - and we give the restaurant 20+ minutes warning, we shouldn't stand around for another 20 for them to set up a table in a mostly empty section. Not the waittress' fault, she was fine, but we were all about to take over the hostess' job for her...)
