Oi, I'll probably delete this later... I really didn't intend upon posting it in the first place XD But I'm trying to beef up my gallery... so there.

Something of a long rant coming up... would you like to:

-Skip ahead to comments (recommended).

-Read rant, then continue to comments (at least 10GB of available space required).

So anyway... not having a job sucks... looking for a job sucks even more x__x; Today I went job hunting AGAIN after a somewhat spirited conversation with my parents >_> Applying (for many, the second time) to just about every store in Concord.. and finally I brought myself to apply at Walmart... Now, to many of you, that might not sound so bad... but our Walmart is one of those open-24-hours-super-store-this-place-never-gets-cleaned-ever kind of Walmarts... And it attracts just the BEST people in Concord... you know, moms who buy 4 packs of cigarettes and a box of diapers while they're at it... but then puts the diapers back when they realize they're 20 cents short...? Or people who stuff their 600 pound ass into a scooter-cart and sit in the middle of the aisle while sorting through their very many competitor coupons for hostess cupcakes and oh! DIET soda...? Or how about the people who try to bust past the front doors with a full cart of unpaid merchandise?

Now granted, not everyone who shops at Walmart is like that, obviously... but you see what I'm trying to say...

Point is, our Walmart is a last resort for employment as far as I'm concerned... But that's where I'm at nowadays... so I gave it a shot x___x; So anyway... they have these little kiosks that you fill in the application on a computer... and I filled in all the info... pretty basic... Then it got to this "assessment" part, which is a series of questions rating your behavior at work, how you deal with customers and employees, and your work ethic... which as anyone who has applied at most retail stores recently could tell you, is pretty standard.

The questions are really common sense, common courtesy type questions... You know, "How often in a day do you take unauthorized breaks?" or "How often do you leave work early without supervisor permission?" or "How would you deal with an angry customer? Would you A) Ignore them. B) Pass them off to your supervisor. C) Try to find out what is wrong and help them." And for all intensive purposes, I answered them all "correctly". Despite this, however, this is what the screen said after I completed the assessment [paraphrased].

"You completed, but did not pass the assessment. Your application will not be considered at this time. You may try again in 60 days".

And all I could think about was "You mean that that jackass up front that took 10 minutes to ring through two items because he was probably still stoned from his break half an hour before passed the assessment and I didn't? T__T;" But I also was somewhat relieved... because this means that I am actually UNABLE to work at Walmart

Anyway... that's quite enough of me x_x;

-Enjoy~

*EDIT*: Resubmitted with a small border to avoid cropping issues when printed... (Still only available in 5x7 however)
