My poor sister is a manager at a retail store.

[xiphias]

She's terribly understaffed, so she's going in to work on her day off. She IS trying to hire more people, but her standards are so high. She requires basic intelligence, some competence, literacy, and a non-flatlined EEG from her employees, and, of the last fifty applications she's gotten, two people made the cut.

"So, one person showed up, and had a resume. And I was all impressed, because, hey, a resume! Her last job was at 'Holliday inn express.' Only the 'h' capitalized, and with two l's in 'Holiday'. And, c'mon -- you're at a freakin' computer. SPELLCHECK! I mean, it doesn't catch everything, but it would have caught THAT."

I perked up myself, and then remembered his sister isn't local.

Neither am I... I live in Cleveland.

Bah, me too. I need summer work and I don't want to think too hard right now.

(Sadly, my "not thinking too hard" still seems to be way above many others' "I'm giving all she's got Captain, she canna take any more!")

Dunno, but she's in Florida.

Ohio. Florida. Nah, too much of a commute.

Hey, where in Florida? We'll be in Orlando in a few months... :)

Orlando area, as a matter of fact.
