Job Hunt Plan 9 busy day, running to downtown burlington twice plus a spin by the college, but not in that order. I finally went down to CameraLand to get an application (I saw the ad in the paper on Thursday). The place was not what I expected; it wasnt just a one-hour photo place, but a full-blown camera store. Hmm. I havent really dealt with photography for almost two years, I hope I get the job. the ad said "photography & computer knowledge helpful"; well, I know more than the average schmuck on the subject of developing film, and I think I know more about computers than most people seeking jobs out here (Where you aware that Iowa has the highest national percentage of senior citizens, and the highest rate of smokers?). No idea what it pays, but itd be great if they have Photoshop 4, Im only running Photoshop 3 and Id love a free upgrade (heh). I also did an application over the phone for a Retail Merchandiser position. "How much experience do you have in Retail Merchandising? Press 1 for 1 year or less, Two for 2-5 years..." *2* "Can you lift 30-39 lbs? Press 1 for yes..." *1* "Can you climb a 10 foot ladder? Press 1 for yes..." *1* "Can you work alone? Press 1 for yes..." *1*. Pays $8.50 an hour, I hope I get this one. But the telemarketing application makes me feel weird. I also applied for a "Shelver" position at the library. I worked at a library for about a year and a half as a Page, which is the same thing basically. No idea what that pays. So I applied at jobs where I have a better chance. I hope. on a little sidenote, the episode of Challenge of the Superfriends had Apache Chief, The Flash, Batman and Robin stripped of their powers and forced to fight android replicas of themselves. Okai...Apache Chief can get real big as his power, fair enough. Flash runs REAL fast as his power, works so far. Batman and Robin...they lost their utility belts. yeah I was under the impression that both were very good at martial arts & shit like that, the utility belts are just for grappling hooks, batarangs, handcuffs, and the odd smoke bomb. hmm. well at least its just a cheap Saturday morning cartoon. I can excuse them based on that fact. Now, the last two Batman films, hmm...
