A month ago, I saw an ad for a job opening And went to there office; I new I was qualifyed. I met with the personel manager, He said my resume was very impresive. I said your welcome, I’ve worked hard To get where I’m at today. We talked for a while, And I answered all his questions pretty good. At the end the personel manager said “We will need a writing sample;” I was ready, of coarse, and handed it to him, A report I had wrote for my old job. That was a month ago. Why does it take them such along time To make up there mind? |

Ruth: Hmmm. I DO have nice legs. Let me think about the short skirt thing. And Jenni, don't knock Ally McBeal ... even though she would wash out in a REAL law firm, she is still making a whole heckova lot more $$$ than all of us put together. Jim "If I rest, I rust." - Martin Luther |

Brad: I think it's "Ally" (short for Allison). Philip: You English celebrate hog mating season? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, especially coming from a people who think public television is interesting. Jenni: Good luck in your job hunt, btw. Jim "If I rest, I rust." - Martin Luther |
