This is hysterical!! And oh so freakin' true (I suppose) but, I haven't had to fill out an application form in gee, 10 years, I believe. Seems like I was 33 when I lost my last good job only to find our a year later that it was MS that was the real reason behind me losing my job. ;~)

Oh, I've been a busy camper tonight! Moved my patio table, 2 patio chairs, the umbrella and stand, four metal trash cans of various sizes with bird suppiles within, a little table and the grill that sits upon it, the little plack plastic garden fences to go along the patio fence line to keep the leaves from blowing in on the cement patio pad, and I got all of that in place with I think enough room to place the flower bin when the time comes to move it. Think that was enough? Yes, it was but, I also took down four birdfeeders and pulled up the bird feeder and made six trips moving those items and then I had to remove the screw hooks from the trees on which the support pole rests so I could put them into the new location trees. All of the assemble I was doing after the sun when down... using my mini-mag light if I needed to see the details. Yes, I am a tired camper tonight... and I'll definitely take a long warm shower before bed tonight or I might not be able to move tomorrow. ;~) Enjoy your weekend... Monday will arrive to soon for thee!! Sallie Bear

laughing at the punctuating remarks, as well the meaning in whole. brilliant.

well aren't they bloody nosey..lol I've taken a few interviews and i think this is funny because most times this kind of information should be available in a comfortable conversation. great read tho.

It's funny Susan because I just got a 2nd job that I start on Monday (need the money) and
I left half of it blank. lmao I'm serious...I am who I am! I live in a small town, where every one
knows every one, pretty much. If you don't know me by now, then forget about it. Stupid questions,
even more so at the age of 45. Hire me, or don't. She did! LOL
