AMEN, SISTER! "Down-trodden" is the perfect description, I'd say. And don't worry, I went out and bought myself some Tim Tams to cheer myself up. Did you know they sell them in America now?! Well, temporarily anyway. Which reminds me, I have to go to the store and buy 100 more packages.

Sara - I know! Who knew boyfriends could be so obnoxious - always trying to make us feel better, jeesh. The job search SUCKS.

Susan - Hah, no the bikini wax is because it's SUMMER and thus bikini's are worn! But yes, Inspector Climate does deserve a clean cut woman. Ahem.

Might I ask what kind of jobs you are applying for that you need your bikini area waxed? Is this just not an elaborate cover for your getting all smooth for IC? Well, he deserves it, he's such a peach.

My boyfriend does the same stuff. He´s always trying to do annoying things like "life my mood" and give me "positive reinforcement". I'm going to tell him to just head straight for the flowers next time.

Oh and I really feel your pain about looking for a job. My prof said if I was looking for a job for less than a year in Chile she would consider me lucky becuase it´s that much harder for a foreigner to find a job.

Good luck!

Ev Rev - why thank you, Juliet. Inspector Climate is a good man. And re: the job hunt it is sooo hard, I feel like I don't ever get the interviews for the jobs I am qualified for! Grr. the whole process makes me cranky.

OH! and I totally heart Inspector Climate. Good man, good man.

Dear I think you are plenty eloquent! I never use words like pleathora or even multitude, let alone in the same sentence! I, for one, love your writing.

On job hunting - No one is ever qualified for any job, I think. In fact, don't tell but I've never EVER done the kind of work I'm looking for. But damnit, I'm gonna fake it till I learn how! (Fake it till you make it!)

Lastly, I will not accept tim-tams from unemployed people. ;) Shipping to France costs enough to feed a small country! Or yourself!

Matthew - story of my life: being kind of wrong and kind of right.

Linlah - Well, she did it AFTER she ripped off the hair - not during. So the pain was not dulled.

salty miss jill - I KNOW right. they are pretty well paid here though, I mean I find it to be kind of expensive.

Megs - it is so terrible! Ugh. I am glad it gave you laugh :)

Searching for jobs is the most awful soul sucking thing anyone can do. I am a nanny partly because I find it so much easier to 1. find the jobs and 2. go on the interview. How am I suppose to get a job I want when I don't qualify for anything? How do people get this experience that is required? I can only imagine this is multiplied by a million when you are in a foreign country.

As to the last part. I was reading this in the library and I laughed so hard I snorted. I have no idea what I would do if someone was shouting that as she ripped wax off my sensitive area.

Now THAT is a job which could not possibly pay enough.

As a pain distraction tactic, woo hoo, in this situation is at the top of the list.

2010-01-21T21:42:23.238+11:00

You're kind of right and kind of wrong all at the same time. I can only imagine 'yee hah' to be more inappropiate.

But hey; at least there's one woman left on the planet who gets excited about hair....?
