So this is like day 1,365,735 of my being unemployed. I stopped counting a while ago. There just so happens to be a job fair today. And Jamie is taking me. I was checking out the info online and I see that all sorts of organizations are going to be there and I also checked out the list of potential employers. I'm going to this thing, but I'm not promising I'm coming home with a job. There is NOTHING wrong with the employers they have listed and I hope a lot of people get hired because of this thing, but to be honest, it doesn't appear that any of these jobs are for me. I will not work for the Army (work or enlist? It doesn't say, but either way not for me). I'm not going to apply for a job at Mrs. Winners (I will, however, eat her fried chicken). And I think it's quite ironic that the Department of Labor is listed as a potential employer. Thousands of unemployed people come through their doors every day (I know, I've now been down there four times) you would think they would have no problem filling positions immediately. But anyway, I'm going to go and keep my mind open because you never know.
Tomorrow I'm going to a Volunteer Fair on behalf of the Food Bank. That should be interesting. I get to sit at a table and represent the Food Bank and convince people to volunteer with them. Piece of cake.
I wonder if either fair will have a Ferris wheel? Maybe Jamie can play one of those ring toss games and win me a goldfish. That would make the Job Fair and the Volunteer Fair totally worth it.
