The Kitty will hire anyone, won't they?

[DGoddessChardonnay]

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner, curled up in a ball and sobbing . . .

Just yesterday, CSM brought in another young potential hire. Young woman, looked to be around early 20's. Seemed nice enough.

She was set up in the computer room to fill out an application, as the Kitty only takes apps online now and not hardcopy.

I walked in to drop off some stuff I was clearing out for the Bargain Center (stuff that was not in planogram or discontinued) when she asked for assistance with the computer.

Granted, that computer has always run slower than a turtle on Valium . . . so I go over to see what she needed.

She was trying to save the application information, but what she didn't do was to read WHY the website refused to save the info.

She needed to set up a security question, so I pointed that out on the screen to her. She scrolled back down and set that up.

Then, again it wouldn't save . . . turned out she didn't have a password set up so she could go back and check on it.

I inform her of that, so she types in 4 characters. Not paying any attention to the fact that the password clearly states 6 characters minimum.

I point that out to her . . . guess what her reply was . . .

"But I don't know any 6-letter words."

But wait . . . it gets better . . . . or like Gravekeeper's callers, worse . . .

I took a peek at the section where, in the applicant's own words, they explain why the Kitty should hire the potential applicant.

"Because I am good with cutsomoers and would like to work at this stoire." (yes, this is how she spelled.)


If she handles money like she spells and follows directions, Dog help us all.

Sounds like a Garden Center cashier material to me....lol. Seriously, at my Wal-Mart they put the slowest cashiers in the Garden Center.

Obviously she was lying, she knows a few 6 letter words. She just can't spell them. I'd put her application in the no pile.

I'm not sure if I'm sad or flattered that I've achieved the status of "benchmark".

Years from now the Gravekeeper benchmark will be taught in tech schools. There will be advanced classes where they teach the theory and write strange symbols on the wall that looks like squigiles to the uninitated. PhD canidates will write dissertation on it and the baffalo will run free.

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart


I'll take song requests after the Hair medly.

No, actually, if you reread that short snippet, she still doesn't know any 6 letter words. She does know at least one 7 letter word, and she treated one 5 letter word to a 6th letter, but there is no proof that she knows any legitimate 6 letter words.

But to be fair, she does know a six-letter word:

"Letter"

Logic, for the win!

Logic be damned to you!!!!!!!!!

But she needed it for the password.

Sure she knows it... but can she spell it?
