97. Job Hunt


I provided a detailed résumé, complete with legitimate references.  I filled out all your stupid paperwork.  I even did the requisite drug test (which I passed).  So why won’t you hire me, Mom?

  8. If Mom knows enough to give a drug test then, maybe, Mom knows more than she lets on! No issues with Mom on this one! :)

  9. Nice! I love it. And I can totally relate. My son has a reputation on our block as a helpful kid, but his work history around the house is less impressive. No dice, Son. Perhaps the neighbors are hiring.

  13. Ouch. I suppose family matters a little less when it comes to running a business and making money. If I were her, though, I'd trust my own kin before I'd hire a stranger off of the street!
