Job Fair Today

A beautiful evening--warm all night. I hated to go to choir. Potluck was slim. Good thing we brought rolls and a salad. I made rolls with the sweet potatoes left over from Easter, the ones I forgot to serve, so have lots left over. They are tasty and I brought home half of them and froze them. Yay!

It isn't light yet, gray outlines of treetops and the first birds are singing.

I am going to get myself spiffed up for the Job Fair at the Classic Center. You can't imagine how much I hate job fairs, unless you have been to one. Do your best to look terrific and talk to a bunch of bored young interns at tables in a big exhibit hall. Make copies of your resume and pick up business cards from people who have no interest in you and vice versa. Pay for parking. Walk miles in shoes that hurt my feet. Odds of getting a job this way: 1000 to 1 or more. And yet, I can't really justify sitting home doing nothing (OK, gardening, making cookies, etc.), when they are offering the job fair.
