the job hunt continues...

Last night I spent a few hours diligently looking for jobs, via the internet, for Eric. Some of you might think it is weird that I am the one doing the job hunting -- but if you know me, at all, you'll know that it really isn't odd. But also, Eric was sitting next to me on his computer, working just as hard into the wee hours of the night on some big mega Excel Project for school (he has no time to look for jobs). So that brings me to the point of this post....

As I was searching through countless job possibilities that may or may not be anything Eric would really want to do (or is qualified to do) -- I do a quick scan of what they expect education wise, job skills wise, etc, etc. Then I put it on "The List" if it looks good and Eric will sort through them again and see which ones we will actually apply to.

In my search I came across this job requirement that made me stop in my tracks and Laugh Out Loud.

Must be able to acknowledge and respond

to flashing lights and sirens

and be able to don a protective mask

and evacuate up to 2 miles

in an expeditious manner.

I know what you are thinking, sign me up for THAT job! But hey, that's a skill that Eric has and actually the job looked like a pretty good Purchasing job, it just happened to be in a Chemical Plant. It made "To Look Into" list. Before you judge: I know it shouldn't be a laughing matter....that sounds like some serious stuff, but to have it on the list of requirements/skills was just silly to me...and it was late at night :)
