Not the Bible!
2002-02-06 8:20 a.m.

Hmm. I've been up since 4:30. I took D. to work, and then I came back here, and did all sorts of subtle wacky things with my layout. Still needs tweaking, I think, but I'm pretty sure that what I'd have to do to fix it would be far more trouble than it's worth.

Since everyone else seems to be doing quizzes this week, I decided to revamp mine from last month. The grading system makes sense now, I think. See if you can guess how to find it. *Grins modestly* Yeah. I rock.

You know, I've actually invested quite a bit of time into this journal already today. I redid the quiz from scratch, because I'm an idiot. I made a score page. I created a permanent link button for the quiz, and I made it work. I rearranged the buttons a little.

I'm exhausted. Do I really need to do an entry, too? I think so.

So, I had a job interview yesterday. It was 20 miles away, and they're only willing to pay me $7 an hour to start. But I think I want this anyway. I've been a waitress for far too long. And it seems like a fairly casual place, which is something I was worried about.

I think I only made one glaring mistake.

The guy was talking about how he likes to hire openminded people, and he had this one secretary who her first day of work, she brought in a Bible.

My immediate response was, "Oh, no!"

Of course, I meant something along the lines of, "Hmm. Well, perhaps that would lead you to suspect that she wasn't openminded at all. Of course, I am sure you got to know her before making any sort of snap decision, Sir. Did I mention that I really like your tie?"

It probably didn't sound like that, though. I'm thinking his interpretation ran somewhere between, "Well, I'm certainly not openminded either. Look at the way I immediately assumed the Bible secretary was a bad person." and "Nooo! Not the Bible! As a card-carrying Satanist, I cannot work in any room that has ever been tainted by the presence of a Bible."

"Oh, no!" Jeez. What was I thinking?

The secondary interviews will be next week. Maybe I'll bring a Bible along, just to confuse him.
