Curse you, Spinning Pinwheel of Death!

I feel like Charlie Brown on those fateful days when the rainclouds followed only him.

It took me FOUR different attempts to apply for a job that looks good.

I started through Monster, then, when I had keyed in everything under the sun, uploaded the resume, crafted the cover letter, Monster informed me that this employer has its own application site. And, miraculously, none of the content transferred - or was even saved on my Monster profile.

Cue the spinning pinwheel of death...my constant friend over the next few hours on the new job site. Every key stroke, every time I moved on the page: spinning pinwheel of death.

And that was only the first time. Two more aborted attempts before - I think!! – the dang thing went through.

Technology isn't completely at fault - I know what I did wrong on Monster (I think!!!) - but I feel like this is on-the-job-training at the butt-kicking factory.

My grandfather used to say that. Or at least I think so.
