Job hunting sucks! Just in case you weren't already aware. I feel sorta stuck and lost since the cab closed. I have tow prospect jobs right now. Job number one is with a photography company that does all the school portraits for three states. The pay is good, benefits are awesome and I get to travel a bit and learn a whole bunch! Problem is that they really seem to be jerking me around alot! I did an interview almost three weeks ago and the guy flat out told me he had eight other people to interview then he was going on vacation so I would hear something in two weeks.  They call me in for a second interview that I went to on monday with the owner of the company. It was the exact same interview that I had with the hiring manager and then the owner tells me he's seeing five more people that day and he would call me in for a Third interview later this week. This bothers me and sorta wastes my time I think. Before I had my second interview I had to wait 45 minutes for him to show up and while I was waiting I met a girl they had just hired. I knew they were looking for two photographers so I'm not worried but in talking with her I find out she's never even picked up a camera in her life! WTF? I'm starting to feel if this company isn't as wildly excited about me as i am about them it's not the place to be. Is that a bad attitude to have?

Job two I have already started training for but plan to ditch if MJT calls. This job pays ok, has about the same benefits. In three months they  send me on a training course and I get a five dollar an hour raise, commission, and tips. I don't really feel like the work is mentally challenging enough and I fear boredom. On the other hand the people are pretty nice and super excited to have me there. I'm really stuck and don't know what to do next.

I have provided this recipe for you as a precursor to my story. Today was opening day for Tuesdays with Morrie. Everything was practacally in order when It came to my attention that we actually needed real food for a scene. I have been told yes and no on several occasions. The scene calls for egg salad but the actor is allergic to eggs so he requested chicken salad, no biggie right? I was going to go to the deli and pick some up for tonight and have the kitchen make some for the rest of the run. I tell our lead cook we are going to need chicken salad for the show but I was going to pick some up for tonight so he just has to worry about getting some together for the next show. He cops an attitude and says he will make some for tonight as well. Whatever it gets done and I don't have to stop one more place on my list of errands.
Later: same kitchen guy comes into the shop and throws a bowl on my desk and asks me if it is good enough. I look at it. Its fucking egg salad with chicken in it! WTF? I told him "Actually, no. kirk is allergic to eggs and won't be able to eat this." He flings the bowl across the room and yells at me that I should have told him this. Silly me I thought he could make a simple chicken salad without me holding his hand. Seriously what the hell? I am not sure why but I have taken this personally and don't even understand his attitude. Am I wrong in assuming our lead cook would know how to make something like this? Is it a lack of communication? Should I have mentioned that no eggs were to be used in a dish that dosn't have eggs in it? Blah. Whatever its over now, I just wanted to share.
