Person-frickin'-ality Tests

I'll start with a little about myself. I have been a stay at home mom for 13 years and now I'm hoping to find a part time job to fill up my incredibly boring days. Yes, I know, very bad time for me to decide to go back to work. But anyway, that's what I'm doing. I figured, how hard can it be to get a job at some retail store or mall job? Very hard if you've been out of work for 13 years I guess. So I'm sure many of you out there must have been through the whole "online application process"..... WTF is up with these personality tests they give you? I have filled out so many online apps and each time I am hit with a 200 question test. I think I am a very nice, friendly, outgoing person, but apparently the computer thinks otherwise. I have answered these test openly and honestly but I don't get a call for an interview. Even for a part time cashier position!! Can it be that my "personality test" is affecting my getting an interview? So I decided to go and apply for a job and answered all the questions on the test dishonestly, on another one I answered neutral to every question. Still nothing. So basically a computer decides if you are a good enough and honest enough person to work at a particular company. No chance whatsoever to go and let them see who you are in person anymore because the computer says you have no personality so no you can't work there. I have also run into filling out an online app for a job that I am very qualified for and 40 minutes of answering all their questions later the computer tells me I'm not qualified for the job. LOL Allrightie then.... Please, if anyone knows how to pass these tests let me know. I really am a nice person, very honest, good dresser, friendly person. I'd just like a chance to show someone that, not a damn computer!!! Have a splendid day!

My Second Childhood

That's right....my second childhood is here. I just got this idea from a friend on Facebook. So last night for my "dessert" I had a bowl of Frankenberry cereal. Remember the monster cereals? There was also Count Chocula and Booberry. I also remember one more, had a werewolf on the box, and I think it was called Fruit Face or something like that. Good shit when I was a kid. So now I'm 44 and still eating it. I'm sorry but I just don't like "grown up" cereals. Who says you have to eat Bran Flakes or Grape Nuts when you're my age? Since when do grapes have nuts anyway?

So today for my workout I am doing some mean hula hooping. My FB friend said I was in my second childhood. She may be right. When I was a kid I was the hula hooping QUEEN!!!! No one could beat how long I could keep it going and I must say I'm still pretty damn good at it. I can still swing it around my ankles, hips, neck and both arms all at the same time. It is a very good workout, tones you and you don't even realize you're working out. I highly recommend it kids!

So now in keeping up with my second childhood theme for today, I am in the mood for some "bunny milk". What is that you ask? Nestle Quik or now known as Nesquik. When I was a kid the strawberry flavor had a pink rabbit on the package and was therefore known as "bunny milk". They used to have vanilla flavored too with a teddy bear on the package, then known to me as "teddy milk". I wish they still made teddy milk. LOL Why do they always stop making the best stuff?

Well I guess that's all for now. I am going to go swing on the swings for awhile while I sing Partridge Family songs at the top of my lungs, then Barbie and my Shaun Cassidy doll have a date and Barbie needs a new napkin dress. Oh look, Scooby Doo is on soon too and the Brady Bunch is singing "keep on keep on keep on dancing all through the night" on the show today. I have a busy day ahead before its time to get out the Mr. Bubble for my bath. Have a fun and wonderful and child-like day today, no matter what your age.
