When my fiancé's Facebook status yesterday bemoaned the loss of "The Boss," I was sad to hear the Bruce Springsteen died. But, before I could start dancing like Courtney Cox in the "Dancing in the Dark" video in memory of the handsome Jersey singer, I realized it wasn't Springsteen who passed ...

It's like a reverse auction from hell.
"$50,000. Do I hear $50,000 for this high stress, long hours, and thankless position?"
"I'll take $50,000!"
"Do I hear a $45,000? No? Practice saying, 'Do you want fries with that?' I hear $40,000! Going, going...sold to the young man with the recent philosophy degree for ...

You know that euphoric feeling you get when you get offered a new job? The sky seems bluer, the birds seem chirpy-er, and everyone seems like they are ready to burst into song like you're starring in some sort of Broadway musical or something.

Have you ever had a really awesome interviewee? Like, so awesome that you hired the guy on the spot (and subsequently cursed yourself for not thinking of doing what he did when you were looking for a job)?
This might work too. But probably not.
Now, it's not necessarily a good thing ...

I am appalled! (And no, not over the travesty that is Valentine's Day, which I dragged my boyfriend to this weekend. Seriously, in a movie with three or four Oscar winners, how was it that Ashton "Punk'd" Kutcher gave the best performance? But I digress...)

Happy New Year, everyone!
I was lucky enough to have the previous week off. And, though I didn't go anywhere warm, I did manage to watch a ton of so-terrible-yet-I-can't-turn-away TV (Jersey Shore, anyone?), do possibly permanent damage to my diet, and see a few movies. Such as the much-buzzed about ...

...And the Yankees win!
You know what this means?
Six months without baseball! Woohoo! (Until, of course, the highlight reel of the season is delivered to my door, as my boyfriend likes to remind me.)

My friend, who had previously worked on a cruise ship, is currently back on dry land, living in her parents' house, looking for a job.
Unfortunately, as we all know, it's hard out there for a job applicant right now.

Long hair. Tattoos. Band t-shirts. Ear gauges. Black nail polish. Piercings.
And I'm not just talking about my high school crushes!
Interviewees come in different flavors than just standard "suit and tie." According to an article on msn.com, as "subversive" fashion is no longer subversive, the dress code at many jobs is ...
