if you're not a penguin...shut it - Floating My OWN Boat v.2

I almost applied for a job today in a department closer to home with about 1millionth of the shit and stress but one of the requirements is you be fully trained and ready to go (I'm trained but not experienced so ergo... not ready to go)...

Because in a department where they are down NINE people, a department where they normally have a 48 hour turnaround but are now TWO MONTHS behind - they won't hire anyone who's not ready to go because they ARE SO SWAMPED THEY REFUSE TO 'WASTE' TIME TRAINING ANYONE.

Gee. I wonder what the problem is there? The manager, maybe?

The idiotic thing is - I could sit with one of them for a day. And be ready to go. Because it's a really really simple job.

Hmm. Or maybe that's the best definition of my mother's old adage "cutting off your nose to spite your face"

Which reminds me of another story. And since I always say that and never actually tell you the story - I will go type it in right now and set it to publish tomorrow. RIGHT NOW. This is me.. Gone.
