All is Not As Well As They Keep Telling Us

7. I did an in-person app yesterday

and managed to fill in all the blanks, or at least appear to.

The app is targeted to high school kids. 3 references, if no job references
then personal references, but not friends - only neighbors and teachers. I have
neither of those either.

So I submitted my one letter of recommendation - not a friend, not work related -
service related - and glossed it into the three lines for references.

They'd be crazy to hire someone they can't checkout, but i do have the sense
they want someone very soon without putting time into the search, and there
were few if any other applications. I actually got 2 minutes with the manager.

They will interview this week, he said.

And really, they will do a credit and background check on anyone hired. If the credit
is good (it is) and the background is spotless (it is), what more do they need, what more
can an employer expect?
